Online Therapy for Anxiety in Colorado: What to Expect and How it Helps

Online anxiety therapy became popular in 2020, but it’s become a mainstay since then. If you’ve been looking into online anxiety therapy in Colorado, here’s everything you need to know.

Is Online Therapy Effective for Anxiety?

Online anxiety therapy is still effective compared to in-person therapy. As a licensed therapist in Colorado who’s been providing sessions online for 6 years, I’ve seen firsthand how methods like Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting translate to an online format.

The Benefits of Online Anxiety Therapy for Colorado Residents

Online anxiety therapy allows you to be more comfortable since you can join sessions from the comfort of your own living space. You also get to drop the fear that you’ll be late for session since there’s no commute involved. 

Telehealth is also far more accessible if you’re chronically ill or have other disabilities. The sad reality is that many in-person therapy offices aren’t ADA compliant and have let COVID safety measures go.

For those living in smaller towns like, Lyons or Columbine Valley, (and who want to lessen the chances of running into their therapist at the grocery store) online therapy can provide more privacy since you can work with a therapist who’s located hours away from you.

What to Expect in Your First Online Session

For a minute-by-minute break down, you can head to this post. But the short version goes a little like this:

  • You’ll fill out your pre-session paperwork that you received via email

  • Log in for your session using the secure link I’ll send to you

  • We’ll review my practice policies together

  • We’ll go through some basic questions that cover your history and what you’d like to work on in therapy.

  • I’ll also answer any questions you have about therapy in general

Who Online Therapy is Best For

Virtual therapy is a great fit for folks struggling with anxiety, but how you show up to online sessions is a major factor as well.

In my experience, people who do best with online therapy are folks who treat it with the same care and seriousness as an in-person session. 

This means showing up on time, joining your session from a place where you have privacy, minimizing distractions (like silencing various device notifications and turning your TV off), and actively participating in sessions.

FAQs About Virtual Anxiety Therapy in Colorado

Do I need to live in Colorado to do online therapy?

Yes, you need to physically be in Colorado during the time of our online sessions. State laws require your therapist to be licensed in the state you are currently in.

If you’re a Colorado resident who’s temporarily living in Montana, for instance, you’d need to work with a therapist who’s licensed to practice in Montana.

Does online anxiety therapy still feel personal?

It sure does! And my clients have been telling me that for the past 6 years. Just because we’re meeting online doesn’t mean you’re not getting my full personality. Plus, having a therapy session from the comfort of your own home is more likely to allow you to feel like you can be yourself too.

What technology do I need for virtual sessions?

A strong Wi-Fi connection is essential for virtual sessions. Beyond that, you can access sessions from any device that allows for video calls. I personally prefer using a laptop or tablet for sessions, but some folks use their phones as well.
