Online therapy intensives are designed for people who want focused, personalized care without spending months waiting to make meaningful progress. Each one is structured to fit your needs, giving us uninterrupted time to focus deeply on your goals. Every intensive is thoughtfully structured to help you make the most of our time together. It includes preparation before we meet, focused therapeutic work, and follow-up to help you integrate what you've learned.

Each Online Intensive Experience follows this three-part model:

1. Intensive Prep: Introduce the Intensive Experience Workbook, clarify your goals, and create a plan together
2. Intensive session: Dedicated time for deep therapeutic work based on your goals and the plan we created.
3. Post-Intensive Review: Consolidate gains and plan your next steps

Weekly therapy is designed to make progress over time through shorter, recurring sessions. An intensive provides extended, uninterrupted time to focus deeply on your goals without needing to stop just as you're gaining momentum.

The Online Intensive Experience follows a three-part model that separates the administrative and review steps away from the dedicated therapeutic time.

1. The free consultation allows you to decide if you’d like to work with me, without cost or obligation. You’ll leave this consultation with answers to all your questions about scheduling, cost, and other administrative issues.
2. The Intensive Prep offers a full 60 minutes for getting your history, helping you set goals, and teaching you how to make the most of the Intensive Experience Workbook.
3. Based on the previous two meetings, you’ll have already chosen a one-hour or three-hour intensive where we’ll get to work on exactly what we planned.
4. The Post-Intensive Review is another 60-minute session usually scheduled a week or two after the intensive. This gives you dedicated time to process the experience, review your progress, and decide your next steps.

Yes it can, and often at a faster pace. Have you ever been near the end of the hour and finally getting somewhere only to have to end the session? By the next week, you’ve lost momentum and struggle to get back on track. An intensive provides uninterrupted time to stay with the work instead of repeatedly stopping and restarting.

Absolutely yes. The Online Intensive Experience is just as effective with chronic pain as they are with any trauma. Chronic pain and trauma often involve overlapping nervous system processes. Emotional stress, past experiences, and ongoing pain can influence one another, which is why addressing both can be an important part of healing.  Intensives don’t offer any therapeutic interventions that are different than traditional weekly therapy. They just help in a more concentrated, focused way.

Most people who are a good fit for weekly online therapy can also benefit from an Online Intensive Experience.

Practical requirements:

• Uninterrupted time for each appointment
• Intensive Experience Workbook engagement
• Reliable, secure access to the Internet
• Private, secure location
• Access to child or elder care during scheduled sessions

Not everyone will benefit from online therapy or therapy intensives. Here are some of the reasons why the Online Intensive Experience might not be for you.

• No availability for the time necessary to complete the entire Online Intensive Experience 
• No reliable, secure access to the internet with audio/video capability
• No access to a private, safe location
• No access to child or elder care during scheduled sessions
• Symptoms that require a higher level of care than can safely be provided through telehealth

Note:  A therapy intensive is NOT intensive outpatient therapy (IOP) for individuals recently discharged from an inpatient psychiatric unit.

• Privacy: a well-lit room with a door you can close
• Internet access: stable, secure
• Device: a cell phone, tablet, laptop, or PC with 2-way sound and camera
• Sound: noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds are optional, but sometimes helpful
• Intensive Experience Workbook: digital or printed format is fine
• Comfortable seating: we’re going to be online for a while
• Snacks and drinks welcome
• Fidget items welcome
• Comfy blankets & pillows welcome
• Service or emotional support animals welcome

1. Choose a private room where you won't be interrupted.
2. Block off the time on your calendar.
3. Test your camera and microphone.
4. Have your workbook available.
5. Gather anything that helps you stay comfortable (water, snacks, blanket, fidget items, etc.).

• Trauma Recovery – focused work for trauma, PTSD, or complex trauma.
• Burnout Recovery – for chronic stress, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion.
• High Performance – for professionals seeking to overcome internal barriers and perform at their best.
• Clinical Support – for mental health professionals

• Thanks to the Intensive Prep, we’ll jump right in to therapeutic work at the start
• Your Intensives Experience Workbook will help guide you through the process with room to take notes and ask questions.
• The conversation will look and feel a lot like traditional therapy, just more focused.
• Full day sessions typically begin at 9:00 am MST (Arizona)
• Half day sessions typically begin at either 9:00 am or 1:00 pm MST (Arizona)

• Break times do not take away from your therapeutic time. You will still get the full 3-hour or 6-hour session — plus time for breaks.
• Breaks are flexible and can be adjusted based on your needs that day.
