Erin Anderson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, MSW, LCSW
Online therapy can feel awkward for some people, but it is my goal to make it just as effective and comfortable as in person therapy. Many of my clients find the convenience of being able to do therapy from their house or work place worth it. I schedule my online sessions the same as in person, and offer consistent, weekly appointments. If you prefer flexibility, we can schedule week by week as well. The Simple Practice portal makes it easy and convenient for you to log in from your computer, tablet or phone.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
I'm an experienced therapist who is very passionate about working with women who are ready for something deeper than coping strategies — women who are willing to examine themselves honestly and are committed to meaningful, lasting change.
This work often focuses on life transitions, anxiety, identity evolution (self discovery and uncovering true self), enduring relationship patterns and trauma from invalidating relationships (complex or developmental trauma), and the deeper dynamics that shape fulfillment. Often, this manifests as persistent anxiety, restlessness, irritability, loneliness, or a subtle but steady feeling that something is missing- that life should feel more meaningful than it does.
I offer a warm, authentic, collaborative, and attuned space where you don’t have to hold it all together. In our work, we slow down to explore early relational templates, unconscious beliefs, and protective strategies that once served you but may now limit intimacy and growth.
In addition to talk therapy, I also offer ketamine assisted therapy Integration as appropriate, which may be a useful adjunct to deep, transformational work.

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The COVID crisis struck near the end of my formal training, which afforded me the opportunity to extensively train in the delivery of quality therapy using virtual technologies. I am proud to have built a practice from the ground up in which I am equally comfortable and effective in person and on video, and I have worked with clients from every corner of the country. Whether you are down the street or hundreds of miles away, trust that you will feel the same warmth, connection, and attention from me over video as you would face-to-face. I use HIPAA-compliant software that prioritizes privacy and convenience, and I dedicate part of my annual continuing education to telehealth-specific skills to ensure I am always giving you my best.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals, couples, and families, making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Virtual sessions allow for flexibility while maintaining the same level of care, thoughtfulness, and engagement as in-person work.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for those with busy schedules, travel constraints, or who simply feel more at ease meeting from home. I work to ensure that sessions remain focused, connected, and meaningful, even in a virtual setting.
For clients seeking family-building evaluations or time-sensitive services, online appointments also allow for quicker scheduling and efficient completion of the process without compromising quality.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I see clients online if they prefer that way of meeting whether they live in Charlottesville or not. I can also see online clients who live in almost all states in the US via my PSYPACT authorization. Both research and my personal experience indicate that online therapy and evaluations (if that is requested) are just as effective as meeting in person and offering services online makes it much easier for people across the US (and locally where I am) to get what the services/help they need in the easiest way possible.

Jonathan Schnapp

Sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant video platform and are designed to feel as thoughtful, engaged, and attuned as in-person work.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
I became a psychoanalytical therapist because I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and understanding. The profound impact of exploring the depths of the unconscious mind and uncovering the roots of one's thoughts and behaviors can lead to lasting change and emotional well-being. I chose psychoanalysis as my therapeutic approach because it provides a unique framework for delving into the complexities of the human psyche, offering individuals a profound opportunity for self-discovery and healing.
Psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the unconscious mind, allows me to work with patients in a way that goes beyond surface-level symptoms, addressing the underlying causes of emotional struggles. I am passionate about providing a space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences in a deep and meaningful way, fostering insight and facilitating personal growth.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
One thing the pandemic taught us is that virtual therapy can produce great clinical outcomes. If you’re considering doing EMDR remotely due to location or convenience, we can utilize the bilateral stimulation that is a key component of EMDR in a variety of ways during video sessions. I offer the option to rent an easy to use set of ‘remote tappers’ that can enhance our work together and bring the most of the therapeutic experience into the comfort of your home.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve already done work and want to go deeper. I offer a supportive, down-to-earth space to sort through what feels stuck, overwhelming, or hard to name. My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed care, but always tailored to what you need most.
I work with adults carrying the weight of childhood neglect or trauma, as well as those navigating stress in parenting, relationships, or work. Along the way, we focus on building clarity, connection, and trust so change feels possible—and lasting.
I also provide consultation and supervision for licensed therapists and offer parenting consultations. My practice is 100% telehealth, making therapy more flexible and accessible across Washington State and Psychpact states throughout the United States.

16 Years Experience
Online in Chicago, IL (Online Only)
Chicago's size and diversity mean therapists here cover an exceptionally wide range of specialties, with strong representation in trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural identity work across the city's distinct neighborhoods. The South and West Sides experience community-level trauma tied to violence and systemic inequity, driving particular demand for therapists who specialize in PTSD, grief, and resilience-focused work. The city is home to Rush University Medical Center, Northwestern Medicine, and the University of Chicago Medicine, with a large independent practice community concentrated in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and the Loop. Chicago also has robust bilingual therapy communities serving its large Spanish-speaking, Polish, and Mandarin-speaking populations.
