Whether you are dealing with a crisis, life transition, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, or a desire for meaningful change, therapy can offer a safe and supportive space to be heard and understood.

David B. Biggs
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in clinical, residential, and private practice settings, and have received training in multiple evidence based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy. Choosing the right therapist from a website can be difficult, which is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether I'm a good fit for your needs. If I'm not, I will make every effort to refer you to a therapist that is. If we do choose to work together, I will work hard to build an authentic, trusting relationship with you, so together we can uncover your inner resources to overcome the challenges you’re facing, and attain the personal growth you're committed to accomplishing.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT

Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own.
I offer online therapy for women and couples who look like they’re managing life well on the outside—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or not quite like themselves. Many of my clients are navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, and major life transitions, including perimenopause.
Virtual therapy with me is not a watered-down version of in-person work—it’s focused, effective, and designed to create real change. From the comfort of your own space, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected in your relationships.
If you’re in a relationship, online sessions can help you break out of repeating conflict cycles, better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and rebuild connection—even if things have felt stuck for a long time.
My approach blends practical tools with deeper, insight-oriented work. We focus first on regulation—so you’re not just talking about your life, you’re actually able to shift how you experience it.
Online therapy offers flexibility, privacy, and accessibility—without sacrificing depth.
If you’re ready for support that goes beyond coping and helps you create meaningful, lasting change, I’d love to work with you.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
About My Practice
I provide specialized online therapy for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex life challenges. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a secure virtual environment, I create a supportive space for healing and personal transformation from wherever you are. My approach focuses on getting to the root of what's creating your struggles rather than just managing surface symptoms.
My Approach
My practice centers on what I call "updating your operating system"—we explore the roots of your patterns, understand how you got where you are, and consciously choose where you want to go next. This isn't about dwelling in the past; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I bring together evidence-based techniques like CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, and clinical hypnosis with mindfulness practices, creating sessions that are collaborative and organic rather than rigid or prescribed.
Here's what might surprise you: one of the most powerful dimensions of real change is acceptance. Not the passive, resigned kind, but the courageous turning toward where you are with care and curiosity. This approach allows you to look squarely at reality and move forward from a place of truth rather than resistance.
Areas of Specialization
I specialize in supporting clients with:
Anxiety: Managing generalized worry, social anxiety, perfectionism-driven anxiety, decision paralysis, and the anxiety that stems from unprocessed trauma
Trauma Processing: Working through childhood trauma, parentification, relational wounds, and past experiences that continue to shape how you move through the world today
Complex Family Dynamics: Navigating challenging relationships with adult children, aging parents, partners, and other family members where boundaries feel blurred
Grief and Loss: Processing loss in its many forms—of people, relationships, the life you thought you'd be living, or your sense of purpose and identity
Patterns That No Longer Serve: Breaking cycles of people-pleasing, over-functioning, perfectionism, and abandoning your own needs to care for others
Benefits of Online Therapy
My virtual practice offers several advantages:
- Access specialized trauma-informed therapy from the comfort of your own space
- Greater scheduling flexibility across multiple time zones
- Elimination of travel time and transportation barriers
- A familiar environment that may enhance feelings of safety during vulnerable work
Getting Started
I work best with people who are managing to keep their heads above water but know something needs to shift—those experiencing mild to moderate concerns rather than acute crises. I welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and interested in a partnership approach. If you're willing to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth and want genuine understanding rather than therapy-speak, we'll likely be a good match.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real. Research shows the most important factor in successful therapy is whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist—building that authentic connection is central to how I work.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether you are an expert with online meetings or are a little hesitant to start telemedicine, I promise you, online therapy with me doesn't feel like another stiff, robotic Zoom meeting. I’ve intentionally designed my virtual practice to feel just as warm, connected, and down-to-earth as sitting across from each other in a cozy office. You get the exact same focused, high-quality care and deep collaboration—just without the stress of fighting traffic, rushing to an appointment, or even having to put on real shoes.
We live busy lives, and finding a block of time to take care of your mental health is hard enough. Telehealth makes it incredibly easy to fit real, impactful support right into your day, whether you're logging on from your couch, your office, in your car (while parked), or a quiet corner of your home. All you need is a comfortable spot and a secure internet connection, and we can get to work getting you unstuck, wherever you happen to be.

If you think you're ready to make some changes in your life, then I'm your person!

I'm a British therapist, with a warm, compassionate, but straightforward and practical approach.

I work online with clients living anywhere in California. My clients tell me that online therapy is easier and more convenient for them to fit into their schedules than having to travel to in-person therapy.

San Francisco Counseling Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMFT, LCSW
Many of us reach out when we feel the need for support, or help working through challenging times. Sometimes we face challenges we think are too difficult to manage alone. At San Francisco Counseling Collective ("SFCC"), we believe in taking a strength-based, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, working with you to help you grow toward your best self. The familiar ways you have of dealing with life's complications may not be working; together we can work to identify new positive means of change.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
A secure online platform will be used for weekly sessions. I have found that online/telehealth therapy has been an effective and safe method to meet with clients which provides its own unique benefits, such as the convenience of being at home or at work for clients to help manage busy schedule, financial and time saving from reduced traveling needs, as well as health conscious people. Therapy services utilizing telehealth mode showed in research studies with increased attendance and treatment outcome.
Telehealth's another key benfit is the ability to provide the quality service/Clinician unbound by geographical locations. The availability of online therapy expand the opportunity to meet the service needs for more people with personal, practical limitations. For example, Bipolar is when someone is experiencing extreme polar emotional fluctuations at different times. We all can experience opposite emotional experiences that can be a part of life. It is up to the clinicians to examine whether your symptoms are clinically significant or not. When it is diagnosed, it often necessitates medication treatment along with psychotherapy as it is one of the most difficult conditions to treat without medication in severe to moderate presentations. It is also one of highly complex diagnoses that a master's level educated licensed marriage and family therapists and social workers, for example, are not typically expected to diagnose bipolar disorder. At the Practice, the skilled practitioner/Clinician is available who's been experienced with identifying such complicated symptoms in a much shorter period as well as to provide effective clinical treatment and recommendations. Researches found that it takes about 10 years for someone to be properly diagnosed with complicated diagnosis, such as bipolar from the time the person first contact a mental health service for help. They are commonly misdiagnosed with depression. That is a 10 year of wasted life, energy, deteriorated relationships, and reduced productivity/income on someone. I highly recommend contacting the office asap if you suspect that you have the related and/or other various symptoms.
Starting a therapy journey is an investment in one's future life. It will take time, conscious and even financial committment for at least next 3 to 6 months for most people. Just like many aspects in life, the commitment to work on making the necessary changes in yourself is the requirement to see effective results in therapy. Those who are committed in the process and ready will leap the rewards. The practice wants to hear from those who are ready for making the positive changes!
