Online Therapy.
Compassionate Online Therapy for Adults and Teens | Serving All of California
ONLINE THERAPY
Quality care.
Wherever you are.
All of our services are delivered via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, so you can access real support from anywhere in California without a commute, a waiting room, or time off work.
Each session is 60 minutes, one-on-one with your therapist, through a secure video platform. The work is specific to your goals, whether that means processing emotions, building new habits, untangling old patterns, or simply having a space to think clearly. The format is flexible and evolves as you do.
Does it actually work?
Yes, and the research is clear. A study published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders found that online CBT is just as effective as face-to-face CBT for treating anxiety. A comprehensive review of randomized controlled trials found no significant differences between telehealth and in-person therapy in symptom improvement, overall functioning, or client satisfaction. And a 2021 study by McGowan et al., covered by both 2-Minute Medicine and Medical Dialogues, showed that EMDR therapy delivered online produced significant improvements in mental health outcomes.
Getting the most out of your sessions:
✦ Use a device with a camera, microphone, and strong internet connection
✦ Find a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted
✦ Write down anything you want to bring up: questions, goals, or what's on your mind
✦ Use headphones for clearer audio and added privacy
When online therapy may not be the best fit:
Online therapy is effective for most people, but it may not be appropriate for active crisis situations, suicidal ideation, or needs that require a higher level of care. If you're unsure, we can help figure that out together during your free consultation.
FAQ
Questions we hear most often.
-
Therapy is a collaborative process where you safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with a licensed professional. Online therapy allows you to attend sessions from home using a secure video platform — it's convenient, private, and just as effective as in-person therapy for most people.
-
Most clients begin with weekly sessions lasting 60 minutes, though this can shift over time based on progress and personal preference. You may talk about current challenges, past experiences, or relationship dynamics — your therapist guides the process with insight, reflection, and practical strategies.
-
Yes. What you share in therapy is protected by strict confidentiality laws. The only exceptions involve situations where there is a legal obligation to ensure safety — such as threats of harm to self or others, or mandated reporting of abuse. These guidelines are clearly reviewed during intake.
-
You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people begin when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, facing life transitions, or wanting to better understand themselves. If you’ve been feeling anxious, depressed, burned out, or disconnected, therapy can offer clarity, support, and new ways forward.
-
Yes. Therapy is always your choice and you are never locked into a set number of sessions. We encourage ongoing conversations about your goals. When you're ready to pause or end treatment, we'll work together to bring closure and provide referrals if needed.
-
Session fees at Insight Counseling Center range from $125 to $250 depending on the service type and clinician. We also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those experiencing financial hardship.
-
We understand that therapy is a meaningful investment, and we’re committed to making quality care more accessible. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available based on financial need and clinician availability.
If you’re experiencing financial hardship or do not have insurance coverage, we invite you to inquire about reduced-rate options during your consultation or intake process. We review each request individually and do our best to accommodate when possible.
Our goal is to support your mental health without adding unnecessary financial stress. If we’re unable to offer a sliding scale slot at this time, we’re happy to provide referrals to trusted low-cost resources in your area.
-
We accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and a variety of widely used payment apps for your convenience. Session fees, co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles must be paid at the time of service.
-
If we are not in-network with your insurance plan, and your plan includes out-of-network (OON) mental health coverage, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. You’ll pay for sessions upfront, and we will provide a Superbill containing the documentation needed to file your claim.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm the following:
Do I have mental health benefits?
What is my deductible, and has it been met?
Does my plan cover psychotherapy?
How much is reimbursed per session?
Is pre-authorization or a referral required?
-
If you’re uninsured or not using insurance, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate outlining expected costs before beginning services. This is part of your rights under the No Surprises Act.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may dispute the charge. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
