“What I notice about Vermont professionals is a particular kind of endurance. There is a real ‘I can handle this’ quality to the people I work with here. The remote worker who traded a city commute for mountain views but brought every ounce of their stress with them. The healthcare worker at UVM Medical Center absorbing other people’s pain shift after shift with nowhere to put it. The business owner in Stowe or Burlington holding everything together because there is simply no one else to do it. They are not falling apart. They are exhausted from never being allowed to. That is exactly who I work with.”

About my Vermont telehealth license
My Vermont credential is a telehealth-specific LCMHC license (#068.0136924TELE), issued by the Vermont Board of Allied Mental Health Practitioners. All sessions are conducted virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. You do not need to live in Vermont permanently to work with me. You just need to be physically located in Vermont at the time of your session. This includes remote workers, seasonal residents, and people who are temporarily working from the state.
WHO I WORK WITH IN VERMONT
Vermont brings its own kind of pressure
Vermont pulls a lot of people in who want a different pace of life. But moving somewhere quieter does not quiet the internal noise. Many of the professionals I work with came to Vermont for the lifestyle, the nature, the slower rhythm, the sense of community, and found that the anxiety or the trauma or the burnout they carried made the move right along with them.
Others have been here for years. Healthcare workers at UVM Medical Center absorbing the weight of patient care, and state employees in Montpelier managing bureaucratic pressure that is genuinely hard to describe to someone who has not been inside it. Academics and researchers at Vermont colleges carrying the slow-burn stress of teaching and publishing while never quite feeling like enough. Small business owners in Stowe, Burlington, or Middlebury doing every job at once because there is not one else.
What most of them have in common, is that they are still functional. Still showing up. Still getting it done. They just have not been okay in a long time, and they have run out of ways to push through it on their own. Online therapy and counseling in Vermont gives them a private, structured space to actually address it without adding another commute to an already full day.
A QUICK NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY
What is EMDR, ERP, and LCMHC?
If you are researching therapy for the first time or came across terms you do not recognize, here is what they mean in plain language.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
A structured, research-supported therapy that helps your brain finish processing traumatic or distressing experiences that got stuck. It uses guided bilateral stimulation, often side-to-side eye movements, to reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories so they feel like something that happened in the past rather than something still happening now. It is widely used for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and high-functioning burnout.
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)
The gold-standard treatment for OCD. Rather than exploring why an intrusive thought is there, ERP works by gradually facing triggers without performing the compulsions that usually follow. Over time, this retrains the brain’s alarm system and breaks the cycle of doubt and ritual that sustain OCD. It is an active, structured approach rather than just talking about the problem.
LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor)
Vermont’s licensed mental health clinician designation, equivalent to what other states call an LCPC or LPC. An LCMHC has completed a graduate degree in counseling, thousands of supervised clinical hours, and a national licensing exam. My Vermont LCMHC is a telehealth-specific credential, which means all Vermont sessions are conducted virtually.

COVERAGE AREA
Online Therapy Across Vermont
One of the real advantages of telehealth counseling in Vermont is that is removes the geography problem. Mental health providers who specialize in anxiety, OCD, and trauma tend to be concentrated in Burlington and Montpelier. If you are in the Northeast Kingdom, Rutland County, or a smaller town in between, finding a specialist who fits can mean a long drive or not finding one at all.
Virtual therapy means you get access to specialized mental health care from wherever you are in Vermont, including rural areas where the nearest provider may be thirty miles away. As long as you are physically located in Vermont at the time of your session, we can work together.

COMMON QUESTIONS - VERMONT
Frequently Asked Questions
It means all sessions are conducted virtually. There is no in-person option under this credential. You must be physically located in Vermont at the time of your session. This is straightforward for the full-time Vermont residents, and also works for those temporarily working or staying in the state.
Yes. Research consistently shows that evidence-based treatment including EMDR therapy and ERP are just as effective through a secure telehealth platform as they are in a traditional office. For Vermont clients in rural areas or with demanding schedules, virtual therapy is also far easier to maintain consistently, and consistency matters a great deal for outcomes.
No. You just need to be physically located in Vermont at the time of your session. Whether you live here year-round, work remotely from Vermont for a stretch, or are a seasonal resident, we can work together under my Vermont telehealth license.
If the connection drops, log back into the platform and we’ll pick up where we left off. If we cannot reconnect, I will call you at the number you provided and we’ll finish the session by phone. Rural connectivity is a real consideration in Vermont and it is something we plan for from the start.
That’s exactly what the free 20-minute consultation is for. We will talk through what you’re dealing with and I’ll give you a clear recommendation on which approach fits your situation and schedule. It is not a sales pitch for the most expensive option.
