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.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, including childhood and/or adult sexual trauma survivors, reclaim the life they were meant to live. Despite the technological divide, I have a felt sense of being in resonance with my clients, sensing when they can use support, or a life vest, and when they feel resourced enough to delve into some deeper waters. I draw on somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, neuroscience, energy psychology, and parts work along with the more traditional psychodynamic approach. Feel free to contact me for a free 15 min phone consultation to learn more.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I provide online therapy for adults and parents throughout California who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of family life. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are juggling a lot — careers, parenting, partnerships, and personal growth — and want a space to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices that help clients better understand their emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and relationships. I have particular expertise supporting parents of neurodivergent children (including ADHD and autism), helping families reduce overwhelm and build more connection and understanding at home.
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and practical. Together we work to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and create more supportive ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I offer online therapy for adults who want a thoughtful, grounded space to come home to themselves. My work is relational, warm, and deeply attuned—I’m interested in the stories you’ve carried, the identities that shape you, and the parts of you that are ready for more ease, expression, or alignment. Together, we slow down, get curious, and make room for the truths that have been waiting beneath the surface.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Since the advent of the Covid pandemic all sessions have been through teletherapy - either video or phone. While the initial motivator is protection of our physical health, the practice provides increased accessibility and convenience for clients. Studies (and practice) have shown that teletherapy can be equally effective as in-person therapy.

Together, we look beneath the surface to understand the patterns and experiences shaping anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Through curiosity, compassion, and insight, therapy becomes a space for meaningful healing—supporting greater clarity, self-trust, and more authentic ways of relating to yourself and others.
