Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Life doesn't pause when things get hard — and neither should your access to support. I offer secure, confidential online therapy that fits into your life, wherever you are. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, teletherapy makes it easier than ever to prioritize your mental health without the added stress of commuting or rearranging your schedule.
Through a private, HIPAA-compliant video platform, we'll work together at your own pace in a space that feels comfortable and familiar — your home, your office, wherever you feel most at ease. Online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions, and many clients find the flexibility actually helps them show up more consistently and openly.
If you're ready to take the first step, I'd love to connect. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation and learn more about how online therapy can work for you.

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.
