Why Choose Virtual Therapy for Your Healing Journey?

Convenience & Flexibility
Virtual therapy lets you meet from wherever you feel most comfortable — your home, your office, or even a quiet corner during a busy day. There’s no commute, which means more time and less stress. Evening appointments are available to fit your schedule, and booking is simple through our Jane platform. It’s also a great option if you’re moving, traveling, or going through a transition — support stays with you.


User-Friendly Experience
You don’t need to be tech-savvy to show up. With just one click, you’ll be in your private session — no logins, no confusion. We’ll send you everything you need ahead of time, and the Jane platform is easy to use and navigate. If anything comes up, we’re here to help troubleshoot so you can focus on what matters most.


Privacy & Security
Your sessions are completely confidential. We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform with encrypted video, password protection, and safe document sharing. Payments are processed securely, so you can feel confident that your privacy is always respected.

Virtual Therapy is Perfect for those who...

Why Choose Virtual Therapy for Your Healing Journey?

Why Choose Virtual Therapy for Your Healing Journey?

  • Feel anxious about leaving home
     
  • Have trauma tied to travel or public spaces
     
  • Need more flexibility in your schedule
     
  • Prefer to process emotions privately
     
  • Want to stay connected to therapy through big life shifts
     

And if being on camera feels like too much? That’s totally okay. We can do your session by phone — no pressure, no awkwardness. You’ll get a call from my business number right at your scheduled time, so you can still show up for yourself in the way that feels best.


Healing doesn’t have to happen in a therapist’s office. It happens in the quiet, safe spaces you choose — and I’m here to meet you there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at melissa@openbooktherapies.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 Yes! Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for trauma and grief work. 


For many clients, the ability to process difficult emotions from their own safe space actually enhances the healing journey. Virtual therapy offers the same evidence-based techniques and emotional support, while allowing you to stay in an environment where you feel most secure and grounded. Plus, removing travel time and accessing support from your chosen location means you're more likely to maintain consistent attendance – a crucial factor in trauma recovery and grief work. 


Whether virtual or in-person, the most important factor is finding a format that helps you feel safe, supported, and able to engage fully in your healing process.
