Online Therapy in Murfreesboro, TN
Therapy for Religious Anxiety, Harm, and Trauma
That Works for Your Schedule
& Your Nervous System
Hi! I’m Karen, a Tennessean providing affirming therapy for anxious adults
who want to liberate their relationships and careers
from their religious childhoods.
Why consider online therapy?
Online therapy can actually be the best use of your time, energy, and money in the greater Murfreesboro area.
Here are the main reasons people enjoy and may even prefer online therapy:
more flexibility for scheduling due to no drive time; you can avoid the traffic
you get to have more options to choose the BEST therapist for you - someone who aligns with your values and has a personality compatible with yours
as a therapist based in Chattanooga, I have lower session fees than many Nashville-area self-pay therapists
faster, more effective progress if there’s a specific behavior or experience we’re trying to work on related to your home environment
increased confidentiality and privacy for you since you don’t have to walk through a lobby or waiting area
being able to talk about scary or overwhelming things while in the comfort and familiarity of your home, where you can have blankets and pets and fidget toys nearby - this can be a game-changer if you’re neurodivergent and/or disabled
save money on child or elder care since you can be at home during your session
more privacy and objectivity if you are a therapist/mental health provider yourself, the partner/close friend/parent/child of a therapist, because even in large cities somehow most of the mental health providers know each other
more privacy and objectivity if your name or family is generally well-known in the Murfreesboro or Nashville area
Is online therapy effective?
Telehealth counseling has actually been around since the 1960s via phone, and since the 1990s via computer! Studies and meta-analyses have shown it can be just as effective as in-person therapy for treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, among other concerns. For some folks, it can even be more effective than in-person treatment.
Online therapy is NOT the right service for anyone experiencing active or ongoing suicidality, psychosis, mania, or any other severe crises. In these cases, please call 911, the suicide hotline at 988, or text the crisis text line at 741-741.
I have worked successfully with clients online for my whole therapist career. I am also an online therapy client myself!
I enjoy online therapy and am very thoughtful and intentional about my approach. I have training and experience in making sure all ethical considerations are met, and in tailoring therapy interventions and tools for an online format.
As a provider who is LGBTQ+ and neurodivergence-affirming, with specialized training in treating complex and religious trauma, I am dedicated to making sure that anyone in my state who is a good fit for my services, can access them.
Whether you’re in Murfreesboro proper or the surrounding Rutherford county, I hope you’ll reach out.
