Virtual Counseling for Women
Get help for your anxiety and perfectionism from the privacy of your home through online counseling.
Can you imagine being able to take less than an hour of your busy week to meet with a licensed therapist and find emotional relief and make changes? No dealing with traffic, finding parking, or sitting in a waiting room.
You have stayed up at night wondering “is something wrong with me?” Your mind races with moments when you were not your best or with mistakes you have made. You don’t know why you can’t fix it on your own. When you had the courage to mention this fear to someone else, it felt like they did not seem to really hear you. No one seems to understand this part of you. You just want to feel heard and for someone to be honest with you. Is that really so hard?
Picture this - you are at home or on a lunch break at work and you open your phone or laptop and you walk away with less anxiety than when you started your virtual counseling session.
Hi, I am Jessica McCoy and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
Through online telehealth sessions, I teach busy women who are struggling with overthinking and people pleasing how to find relief through slowing down, adding new coping skills, and shifting their perspective to help them reach their goals. Through humor and hope, I will champion your growth and help you to make the necessary changes to let go of your perfectionism. Together, we will find accessible tools to move through this difficult season. Compassionate practices will guide our time together which will leave you with less negative self-talk, less anxiety, and the ability to make the next right choice.
If you live in Tennessee and are looking for accessible virtual counseling sessions, then please fill out this form to schedule a 15-minute phone consultation to make sure I am the right fit for you.
More Information about virtual counseling:
Telehealth or Telemental health counseling is any therapy offered over video conferencing or phone.
Research has shown telehealth is as effective as in person sessions for a variety of circumstances.
Teletherapy or virtual therapy removes multiple barriers including time and location (especially in rural areas) for many people looking for a licensed therapist to help them.
Since March 2020, I have been using Simple Practice to provide my online counseling platform to have the highest level of security and privacy for counseling sessions.
Best Practices for Online Counseling Sessions:
Have a charged phone near you as a backup plan if we lose our video connection.
Be connected to strong and reliable internet.
Check your internet connection with my Simple Practice telehealth platform.
Choose a meeting location in a quiet, safe and private space.
You can be creative with your location. Your parked car or the park can be options if they meet your needs.
Use headphones and possibly a sound machine or white noise app for added privacy.
Set up any technology before your session (webcam, computer, phone, or Simple Practice App).
Minimize distractions as much as possible.
Tell your family or roommates that you need your privacy for the hour.
Decrease your cell phone or computer distractions by silencing your cell phone, turning on “Do Not Disturb,” turning off notifications, or closing tabs that and apps that may distract you during your session.
Restart your computer or phone if you are having trouble connecting to the internet.
