What We Offer Online
Not everything we do is available virtually — our Teen IOP, for example, is in-person only because the group dynamic matters too much to replicate on a screen. But most of our services are available online:
- Individual therapy — one-on-one sessions for anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, life transitions, and more
- Couples therapy — including work around pornography use, betrayal trauma, communication, and intimacy
- Adult Mental Health IOP — our structured intensive outpatient program, fully available online for adults 18+
- Adult Addiction IOP — online for adults 18+
If you’re unsure whether online is the right fit for what you’re dealing with, call us. We’ll be straight with you about what works well virtually and what might be better in person.
Why People Choose Online Therapy
For a lot of people, the hardest part of getting help isn’t finding a therapist — it’s actually showing up.
Walking into a building, sitting in a waiting room, being seen by someone you might know — those things create real barriers. Online therapy removes most of them.
- They live in a rural area, and there aren’t any quality therapists nearby.
- Social anxiety makes new environments genuinely stressful.
- Their schedule makes a 60-minute appointment feel like a 3-hour commitment: drive there, session, drive back.
- They travel for work and can’t afford to pause therapy every time they’re out of town.
- They want to get started but aren’t ready to walk into an office yet.
One of our clients had to cancel an appointment because of an unexpected death in the family. Because we offer online sessions, they were still able to meet with their therapist that week — processing grief in real time, from across the state, without having to figure out logistics in one of the hardest moments of their life. That’s what online therapy makes possible.
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person?
The short answer: yes — for most people and most concerns.
Research consistently shows that online therapy produces comparable outcomes to in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. The modalities we use — CBT, IFS, Brainspotting, DBT — translate effectively to a virtual format.
What matters most isn’t the medium — it’s whether your therapist genuinely shows up for you.
What to Expect in an Online Session
If you’ve never done online therapy before, here’s what it actually looks like:
- You schedule — call us or fill out the form below. We’ll match you with a therapist based on what you’re dealing with and your availability.
- We send you a secure link — we use a HIPAA-compliant video platform. No downloads required on most devices.
- You connect from wherever you are — home, office, parked car, wherever you have privacy and a decent connection.
- The session runs like any other — your therapist is fully present, engaged, and focused on you. The screen doesn’t change that.
The first session is mostly about understanding your situation — what’s going on, what you’ve tried, what you’re hoping for. We don’t rush it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy in Utah
No. Our Teen IOP is in-person only. The group environment and peer connection are central to how it works, and we’ve found those elements are best delivered face to face. Our adult IOP and individual teen therapy sessions are available online. Call us to discuss what’s right for your situation.
