Online Therapy for Southern Illinois | Virtual Psychotherapist

High-Quality Care Shouldn't Require an Hour-Long Drive down I-57

Finding a specialized therapist in Southern Illinois who truly understands what you are going through can feel incredibly frustrating. Between long local waiting lists and the reality of geographic distance, getting help shouldn't feel like a second job.

Whether you are navigating the unique pressures of working within our regional healthcare hubs, attending or working at SIU Carbondale, managing the stressors of rural and agricultural life, or simply looking for someone outside of your immediate social circle to talk to, I am here to help.

By bringing evidence-based therapy directly to your screen, we bypass the barriers of travel time, weather, and scheduling conflicts.

Specialized Telehealth Services for the Southern Illinois Community

Because I provide therapy across the entire state of Illinois, you gain access to specialized care that might not be available right down the street. I provide dedicated virtual support for:

• High-Conflict Divorce & Parallel Parenting: We work directly to de-escalate the intense litigation anxiety that keeps you up at night, focusing on establishing a structured, predictable parallel parenting model that insulates your children from adult friction.

• Blended Family Integration: Mapping out step-parent jurisdictions is complex work. We work to build clear, healthy boundaries that protect your new marriage from outside interference and family stress.

• Eldercare & Aging Parent Conflict: Navigating caregiver burnout is hard enough without falling back into outdated sibling roles during a medical crisis. We help your family dismantle old friction to focus on what matters most.

• Family Asset & Inheritance Friction: When major transitions lead to communication gridlock among beneficiaries or co-trustees, we use structured clinical principles to de-escalate the noise and protect your relationships.

Our Clinical Standards: All sessions are conducted via a 100% private, HIPAA-compliant video platform. If your internet can stream a video or handle a FaceTime call, it is fast enough to support our secure virtual sessions.

Insurance and Accessibility for Southern Illinois Residents

Many people worry that virtual counseling won't be covered by their health insurance. Fortunately, Illinois state law mandates that major health insurance plans cover telehealth in the exact same manner as traditional in-person visits.

I am an in-network provider for many major networks across the region, including:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Illinois

• Aetna

If I’m not in-network with your insurance we may still be able to work together. If you have a commercial PPO plan you may have out-of-network benefits that can be used for therapy. I partner with Thrizer for out-of-network benefits.

If you do not have any of the insurance plans listed above, no worries, we may still be able to work with each other. Many commercial insurance plans have out-of-network benefits.
