What online therapy looks like at Loyal Blue

Getting started with online therapy in California is simple. First, book a free 15-minute consult to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit. If we’re aligned, we’ll invite you to our secure client portal where you can schedule sessions and access everything you need.

When it’s time for your appointment, you’ll receive a secure video link—no apps needed for desktop users, and a simple mobile app available if you prefer using your phone or tablet. You’ll meet with your therapist in a private, one-on-one video session designed to feel just as personal and productive as in-person care.

We use a HIPAA-compliant platform (Simple Practice), so your privacy is always protected.

Frequently asked questions about online therapy

Is online therapy really as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes—for many people and presenting concerns, research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person care. Our team uses evidence-based approaches like CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy that work well in a virtual setting.

What issues can you help with through online therapy?

Online therapy is effective for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, and relationship challenges. We also offer virtual support for teens, adults, couples, and families throughout California.

Can I still do couples or family therapy online?

Absolutely. Online therapy works well for couples and families. Multiple people can join from the same location or separate devices using the same secure link.

Who should not use online therapy?

Online therapy is a great fit for most people, but it’s not ideal for everyone. Very young children who need play-based or experiential therapy may benefit more from in-person care. In some cases—such as high-conflict couples work or clients experiencing severe psychiatric symptoms—we may recommend in-person support at our Berkeley or Lafayette office or a higher level of care.

Do I have to live near Berkeley or Lafayette to work with you?

Not at all. We provide online therapy to clients across the entire state of California. Whether you’re in a major city or a rural area, as long as you reside in California, you can access care through our secure telehealth platform.
