Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you. I specialize in working with anxious overachievers, perfectionists, and adults with ADHD. My clients are often worriers and people who struggle to meet their own exacting standards, even though to an outsider's view, they may appear to have it all together. Often my clients are so concerned and caring towards others, but can struggle to care for themselves and advocate for their own needs. In therapy, we work to introduce self-compassion and shift personal standards that may get in the way of enjoying your life. While I'm physically located in Indianapolis, IN, the majority of my clients see me virtually. Whether you live in Indiana, New York, Massachusetts, or a participating Psypact state, I'd love to connect with you and help you to live a more authentic, embodied, and joyful life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Online therapy doesn’t have to feel distant or impersonal. In fact, my clients often tell me our virtual sessions feel just as warm, authentic, and deeply connected as if we were sitting in the same room. I specialize in helping healthcare providers, executives, and high-achieving professionals who feel burned out, stuck, or quietly overwhelmed—especially folks who’ve been so busy taking care of everyone else they’ve lost touch with themselves. My approach combines evidence-based behavioral science, genuine empathy, and practical strategies designed specifically for your unique challenges and goals. Whether you’re at home, in your office, or somewhere in between, our work together will help you step out of survival mode, reconnect with your values, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

Hi, I'm Jenn. From a variety of my own experiences & challenges over the years, I've learned firsthand how stressful & overwhelming life can be - especially during forced or unexpected changes such as moving, starting college, getting a promotion, or facing an unexpected loss of any kind.

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Hello, my name is Karla Lawrence, and I run a distance (online) counseling and coaching practice for adult individuals in Maryland. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, depression, codependency, stress and burnout recovery counseling for compassionate women & soulful introverts.
While online (tele-therapy) is not the right choice for everyone, in many cases it can be just as effective as in-person therapy. You can easily schedule an appointment during your work day, at home, or after you've put the kids to bed. You can save money and time while still making your mental/emotional health a priority. If you identify as a people pleaser, “nice” girl/guy/person, introverted, shy, and/or highly sensitive person in Maryland, I would love to help.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.
