What Is Virtual Therapy in Wisconsin? How It Works and What to Expect
If you’re searching for therapy in Wisconsin, you may have come across the term “virtual therapy.” But what does that actually mean—and is it right for you?
As a licensed therapist offering online care to individuals and couples across Wisconsin, I often get questions about how virtual therapy works and how it compares to in-person sessions. Let’s break it down.
What Is Virtual Therapy?
Virtual therapy (also called teletherapy or online therapy) is simply therapy conducted through a secure video platform. You can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere you feel safe and private.
For Wisconsin residents, virtual therapy allows you to access high-quality, trauma-informed support—without the drive, parking stress, or time off work.
Is Virtual Therapy Effective?
Yes. Numerous studies show that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns, including:
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma and PTSD
Relationship challenges
Substance use concerns
Sleep and stress issues
The most important factor in successful therapy isn’t the location—it’s the relationship between you and your therapist.
Who Can Use Virtual Therapy in Wisconsin?
To work with me, you must be physically located in Wisconsin at the time of each session. That’s because my licensure allows me to provide therapy only within the state.
If you move or travel out of state, we can discuss your options for care continuity.
What to Expect from Virtual Therapy
When you begin therapy with me:
You’ll fill out a brief intake form online.
We’ll schedule a free 15-minute consultation to make sure we’re a good fit.
If you decide to move forward, we’ll choose a time that works best for you—via a secure, HIPAA-compliant Zoom video call.
I’ll help you feel comfortable and supported in each step of the process.
Why Wisconsin Virtual Therapy Might Be Right for You

Convenience: No commute, no waiting room
Privacy: Meet from your own secure space
