The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in the "success" of therapy. Meeting online gives us the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship no matter where you live or what your preference is about how to meet. I work with both individuals and couples. Some of the issues I help with are depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, trust and communication. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink and poly friendly.

MI

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am available for secure, telehealth sessions M-W. Many of my clients are working professionals who need the flexibility of online sessions. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in Bay Area tech finance for 20 years. I know firsthand the intense pressure, insane pace, and subsequent burnout of working in tech companies. Being high functioning only lasts for so long before your physical and mental health suffer, and you're left wondering why you just can't "get it together" anymore. You're not a failure... you're just EXHAUSTED. Let me help you figure out where to go from here.

Therapist, PsyD, LPCC, LMHC, SUDP
If you are looking for a therapist that is discerning, solution-oriented, and individualizes their approach based on your needs... we might be a good fit! Licensed in California and Washington. In addition to being trained in Gottman levels I and II for couples work, I am a certified SYMBIS facilitator for pre-marital counseling. I have 12 years of experience working with adult individuals and couples utilizing cognitive, humanistic approaches. For 9 years I have been supervising addictions counselors, behavioral health staff, and therapists seeking independent licensure. The problems that I work with the most often are relationship conflicts, anxiety, and addictions. In a world full of problems that individuals are powerless to change, I help people work to improve their own lives based on what is within their control.

Dallas, Texas therapist: Phillip McCulley, marriage and family therapist
MI

Phillip McCulley

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals and couples who prefer the flexibility of meeting remotely. Online therapy allows us to do meaningful, effective work together while reducing barriers like travel time, busy schedules, or geographic location. This can be especially important for clients seeking sex therapy, sex addiction therapy, or LGBTQ+ affirming care, which may not be readily available in more rural areas of Texas and California. I strive to create the same sense of connection, safety, and presence in online sessions as I do in person. For many clients, meeting from their own space helps them feel more comfortable and engaged, making it easier to stay consistent and focused on the work we’re doing together.
