Online Therapy in Ohio

For adults across Ohio, by secure video. Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton and Akron, and every county in between them.

A State With Several Different Problems

Ohio is not one place. In the big metros the obstacle is rarely a shortage of clinicians, it is time: an hour appointment turns into a two hour absence once you add I-71 at five o'clock, and after a few weeks of that people quietly stop going.

Outside the metros the obstacle is supply. In the northwest farm counties and in the river towns along the Ohio, the local clinician is often generalist, excellent, and booked into next quarter. Trauma-specific work usually means driving to a city.

Then there is shift work, which shapes this state more than any map does. Hospitals, plants, warehouses, distribution hubs and departments running twelves and rotating nights. A standing Tuesday at four in the afternoon is not a schedule that exists for those workers.

Who Reaches Out From Ohio

A lot of hospital and emergency medicine staff, given how much of Ohio's employment sits in health systems, along with police, fire and EMS from suburban departments and small cities. Industrial injury and near-miss incidents come up: people who watched something happen on a line or a dock and went back to the same floor the next morning.

Highway crashes are a recurring theme too. Ohio is a corridor state, and a great deal of driving anxiety here traces to a specific stretch of interstate that somebody now plans their entire week around avoiding.

The Practical Details for Ohio Clients

I am licensed as an independent social worker in Ohio and see clients throughout the state, provided you are physically in Ohio at the time of the session. If you live near the river and work in Kentucky, the state you are sitting in during the appointment is what matters, and both of those work.

Sessions run 60 minutes by secure video, or up to three hours as an ART intensive, which suits people who would rather use one post-shift block than protect a weekly slot. You need a private space and a device that stays steady, because the work uses eye movements.

What This Is Not, and When It Is Not the Fit

Not an in-person practice. There is no office in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland or anywhere else in Ohio.
Not available while you are physically outside Ohio or Kentucky, including a shift spent across a state line.
Not connected to any Ohio hospital system, employer program or occupational health department.
Not workers' compensation documentation, injury reporting or any evaluative work.
Adults only, by secure video.

This is not a crisis service.

If you are in crisis, please call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. ART is not appropriate during active psychosis or acute crisis. Individual outcomes vary.
