Frequently Asked Questions

Vibrant Counseling provides both individual therapy and couples therapy. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or relationship stress, you’ll find a supportive, collaborative space tailored to your needs.

Your first session is all about getting comfortable and laying a foundation for meaningful work together. We’ll review confidentiality, cancellation policies, and what you can expect from me as your therapist. I’ll also ask questions to help me understand your story and what brings you to therapy. Together, we’ll begin shaping your goals so you feel clear about the direction of your counseling journey.

Standard sessions are 45 minutes.

If you schedule an intensive therapy session, the length will vary based on your goals and needs. Intensives are customized, extended sessions designed to help you dive deeper into specific issues with more time and focus.

 No, this is a private‑pay practice.

Insurance often places strict limits on diagnoses, session length, and treatment planning—restrictions that can narrow what we’re able to address in counseling. Private pay allows for more flexibility, privacy, and a truly personalized approach centered on your goals.

If you’d like to understand more about how insurance impacts therapy, I recommend reading the NPR and APA articles linked here.

I accept credit cards, debit cards, and FSA/HSA cards. Payments are processed at the beginning of each session so we can handle any adjustments and start our work together without distraction.

Virtual counseling gives you the freedom to attend sessions from wherever works best for you—your home, office (in a private space), or even your parked car. This flexibility makes therapy easier to fit into busy schedules filled with work, caregiving, and life’s many demands.

Virtual sessions also help you stay consistent with your care when you’re sick, when the weather is bad, or when commuting feels overwhelming.

I’m happy to provide a Good Faith Estimate as part of the No Surprises Act. This estimate is based on your therapy goals and anticipated timeline so you can plan confidently and avoid unexpected costs. We can adjust the estimate over time as your needs evolve.
