Grief and Loss
Online Therapy in California
Grief can feel like a wave that keeps crashing over you,
leaving you struggling to breathe or find your footing.
Loss can change your sense of self, your routines, and your relationships, making the world feel unfamiliar and heavy. Therapy can help you process your grief and find a way to carry your loss while still living a meaningful life. We’re here to help address grief and loss in many forms, including:
❖ DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
❖ MISCARRIAGE OR INFERTILITY
❖ LOSS OF A PET
❖ DIVORCE OR RELATIONSHIP LOSS
❖ LOSS OF HEALTH OR ABILITY
❖ ANTICIPATORY GRIEF
How We Help.
We use evidence-based methods to support clients through grief,
focusing on three key areas that allow space for healing while honoring what was lost:
❖ HONOR THE LOSS ❖
Grief asks to be witnessed, not solved. One of the most important things therapy can offer is a space where your loss is taken seriously — where you can speak freely about who or what you lost, what they meant to you, and how profoundly their absence has changed things. That kind of honest acknowledgment is not a small thing. For many people, it is where healing actually begins.
❖ PROCESS EMOTIONS SAFELY ❖
Grief does not arrive in a straight line. It comes in waves — sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, moments of unexpected relief, and then back again. All of it is normal, and none of it has a set timeline. Therapy gives you a place to move through those emotions without pressure to feel a certain way or be done by a certain point, at a pace that respects both the depth of your loss and your capacity to bear it.
❖ FIND MEANING AND A PATH FORWARD ❖
Carrying grief and living fully are not opposites. Over time, therapy helps you find a way to hold your loss — to integrate it into your story rather than be stopped by it. That does not mean forgetting or moving on. It means finding new footing, rediscovering what still matters, and building a life that honors what was lost while remaining open to what is still possible.
Our Approach.
Your therapy plan will be personalized to your needs, and may include:
-
EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Some memories do not process the way they should. Instead of fading, they stay raw and intrusive, continuing to shape how you feel and function long after the event has passed. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess those experiences so they lose their charge. Many clients notice significant relief in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy, making it one of the most powerful tools available for trauma recovery.
-
IFS — Internal Family Systems
If you have ever felt like part of you wants one thing while another part wants something completely different, IFS will make a lot of sense. This approach understands the mind as a system of distinct parts, each with its own perspective and protective role. By getting curious about those parts rather than judging them, you can reduce inner conflict and heal old wounds. Over time, this work builds a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
-
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy teaches you to observe your inner experience without being consumed by it. Rather than reacting automatically to thoughts and emotions, you learn to pause, notice, and respond with intention. This builds emotional resilience over time and reduces the grip of stress and anxiety on your daily life. The result is a quieter, more grounded way of moving through the world.
