What to Expect in Your First Virtual Therapy Session

Starting therapy can feel intimidating — especially when it’s online. But knowing what to expect can help ease your mind.

Here’s how it works:
Once you schedule your first session, you’ll receive simple intake forms to complete beforehand. On the day of, you’ll click a secure link to join our video call — no downloads or special tech required.

During our first session, we’ll:

• Talk about what brings you to therapy

• Go over any questions or concerns you have

• Begin setting gentle goals together

• Take things at your pace — there’s no pressure to “open up” right away

What to bring:
Just yourself, a quiet space, and maybe a notebook. You’re welcome to show up as you are — camera on or off, cozy clothes, messy bun — it’s your time.

Virtual therapy is real therapy.
It’s safe, confidential, and deeply effective — all from the comfort of your space. You’re not alone in this, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

Is This Just Stress... or Do I Need Therapy?

We all have rough days. But when does feeling “off” become something worth exploring in therapy?

Here’s a quick way to tell:
If your thoughts, mood, or energy are starting to interfere with your daily life — work, relationships, sleep, or motivation — that’s a sign it’s more than just a stressful week.

You might benefit from therapy if:

• You feel overwhelmed or anxious more days than not

• You struggle to manage your emotions or feel “on edge”

• You’re going through a big life change (career, move, loss, etc.)

• You feel stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself

• You keep thinking, “Something just doesn’t feel right”

Therapy doesn’t mean something is ‘wrong’ with you.
It means you’re human — and ready to process, heal, or grow. Virtual therapy gives you a safe space to be heard and supported, wherever you are.
