Online Psychotherapy With a Licensed Psychologist

As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I also offer online psychotherapy. It is accessible from anywhere, in complete confidentiality, and is available to adults and couples, whether they live abroad or not. I am also trained to offer EMDR therapy remotely .

Who is online psychotherapy for?

Online psychotherapy is for people who wish to engage in therapeutic work while benefiting from the flexibility of a remote setting. This form of therapy is suitable for many life situations and issues, while respecting ethical and professional standards.

For adults - individual psychotherapy

Online psychotherapy can be helpful for people facing:

anxiety, stress, or a feeling of emotional overload
periods of life transition or personal questioning
relational or professional difficulties
experiences of loss, separation or trauma (EMDR therapy).

Remote sessions offer a secure and confidential space for discussion (using Doctolib video), allowing for in-depth work that brings about change, but with the flexibility of teleconsultation.

For couples - couples therapy

Online couples therapy is for those who are going through:

recurring arguments or communication difficulties
periods of crisis, emotional distance, or questioning
significant life changes (expatriation, parenthood, professional upheavals).

Remote couples therapy allows both partners to participate in sessions, even when they are in different locations, while maintaining the structure of the therapeutic framework.

For expatriates - individual and couples psychotherapy

Online psychotherapy is particularly well-suited to people living abroad or who are frequently moving. Expatriation brings specific challenges: isolation, loss of bearings, tension in relationships, identity difficulties, or the reactivation of past experiences.

Remote therapy allows for psychological support in the mother tongue, with a professional who is familiar with working on the psychological issues related to expatriation, while adapting to geographical constraints.

Why choose online psychotherapy?

Online psychotherapy (remote) offers a professional and structured working environment, equivalent to in-person sessions, while also addressing the constraints and realities of contemporary life. When therapy is recommended, doing it remotely it allows for high-quality therapeutic support, respecting clinical and ethical guidelines.

Online therapy primarily offers increased accessibility. It makes psychotherapy possible regardless of place of residence, business trips, or expatriation . It also facilitates the continuity of therapeutic work during geographical changes or periods of mobility.

Remote therapy also offers greater flexibility for organizing the sessions. It allows them to be integrated into a sometimes busy schedule, while maintaining a space dedicated to reflection and psychological processing.

Clinically, the therapeutic relationship and the quality of the session are not affected by distance. The framework, regularity, and commitment remain central to the work, including in the context of online EMDR therapy, when appropriate. The choice of the remote modality is always based on a clinical assessment with the individual concerned and can be adjusted if necessary.

Finally, for adults, couples and expatriates, online psychotherapy makes it possible to maintain a stable and secure therapeutic relationship, even when living conditions make face-to-face sessions difficult or impossible.

How does a remote therapy session work?

Online psychotherapy takes place in a setting similar to that of in-person therapy. It is based on a mutual commitment, regularity of sessions, and respect for the rules that guarantee a safe therapeutic workspace .

The sessions last one hour and take place via videoconference using the secure Doctolib video platform . If access to Doctolib video is not possible, the sessions can be held on Google Meet. In all cases, it is recommended to be in a quiet place that ensures confidentiality and minimizes interruptions.

The first session allows us to get to know each other, clarify the client's needs, and define the framework of the therapeutic work together (strategy and objectives, working method). It constitutes a time for clinical assessment, based on which the modalities of follow-up are discussed: frequency of sessions, therapeutic approach, and, if applicable, the possibility of online EMDR therapy.

As the sessions progress, the psychotherapeutic work develops steadily. Geographical distance does not hinder the quality of listening or the therapeutic relationship. The structure, regularity, and committed presence remain central to the process, whether the sessions take place in person or remotely.

For couples , online therapy allows both partners to participate in sessions, even when they are in different places, while maintaining a clear and supportive framework. For expatriates , it offers stability and continuity of care, as well as therapy in their native language, regardless of geographical constraints.

EMDR therapy online: is it possible?

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a recognized psychotherapeutic approach, particularly indicated for the treatment of traumatic experiences, difficult life events, and certain persistent emotional difficulties. In some situations, it may be offered remotely. To this end, I always take the time for a preliminary discussion with the person concerned regarding their difficulties, emotional stability, and their feelings about engaging in online EMDR therapy.

Online EMDR therapy is based on the same principles as in-person EMDR. The work takes place within a structured framework centered on the EMDR protocol, with specific adaptations related to the remote modality. Bilateral stimulation can be carried out safely via videoconferencing when conditions are appropriate and this modality is deemed suitable, using dedicated platforms such as https://www.bilateralstimulation.io/.

The indication for remote EMDR therapy is never systematic. It depends on several factors, such as the nature of the request, personal history, emotional stability, and life context. This must necessarily be discussed with the person making the request, whose feelings about teleconsultation remain paramount. A preparation and stabilization phase is, in all cases, systematically carried out (2 to 5 sessions).

Online EMDR can provide access to this specific therapeutic support, particularly when it is limited in the person’s area of residence. The therapeutic framework remains flexible and may evolve toward in-person sessions or another working modality if necessary.

Online psychotherapy for expatriates

Online psychotherapy for expatriates is intended for individuals living abroad or in situations of international mobility, for whom access to psychotherapeutic support in their own language and cultural framework can be challenging. Remote therapy makes it possible to maintain a stable therapeutic space despite changes in country, cities lifestyle, or points of reference.

Expatriation is often associated with specific challenges: feelings of isolation, loss of familiar reference points, difficulties with adaptation, tensions within the couple, identity-related questions, or the reactivation of earlier experiences. These difficulties may arise at different stages—upon departure, during the settling-in period, or sometimes much later, when the external environment appears to have stabilized.

Remote psychotherapy offers expatriate individuals and couples a secure framework in which to process these experiences, while maintaining continuity in the therapeutic relationship. It allows for work on the psychological impact of transitions, separations, symbolic losses, or potentially traumatic events, including within the context of online EMDR therapy when indicated.

The option of online follow-up also promotes regularity of sessions, regardless of geographical constraints or changes in location. It helps preserve a consistent space for expression, in the person’s native language, with a professional attentive to the specific issues related to expatriation and international mobility.

Ethical framework, confidentiality and data security

Online psychotherapy is practiced within a strict ethical and professional framework, identical to that of in-office sessions. As a licensed psychotherapist, I work in accordance with professional principles that ensure quality of care, confidentiality of discussions, and the safety of the individuals I support.

Remote sessions take place in a confidential setting. Talks are protected, and respect for privacy is a central element of the therapeutic work. Individuals attending sessions remotely are asked to ensure, on their side, that they have a quiet and private space that allows sessions to proceed appropriately.

Online psychotherapy, while effective in many situations, also has limitations. Certain difficulties or contexts may require in-person support or referral to another form of care. The indication for remote therapy is always assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be adjusted over the course of the therapeutic process.

Within the context of EMDR therapy, particular attention is paid to the preparation phase and emotional stabilization. The decision to use online EMDR is made thoughtfully and cautiously, in respect of the individual’s pace and subjective experience.

This ethical framework and these clearly defined limits form the foundation of serious, safe, and respectful therapeutic work, whether sessions take place in person or via online psychotherapy.
