Struggling with Parenting Stress? Online Family Therapy Can Help.
Parenting a complex or challenging child can feel overwhelming. If your child is neurodiverse, gifted, or adopted, traditional parenting advice may not apply. Online Family Therapy provides expert guidance to help you navigate emotional and behavioral challenges—so you can strengthen family relationships and create more peace at home.
I’m Abby, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience, specializing in helping parents and families understand the nervous system’s role in behavior. Using interpersonal neuroscience and polyvagal theory, I’ll help you identify the root causes of emotional stress and teach practical tools to strengthen regulation, connection, and a sense of safety in the parent-child relationship.
With the flexibility of telehealth family therapy, you can receive expert support from anywhere in California, without the stress of travel or waiting rooms.
How Online Family Therapy Can Support Your Family
End Power Struggles and Foster Connection. If every request turns into a battle, there’s a deeper reason. Power struggles aren’t just about behavior—they’re often nervous system responses to stress. In Online Family Therapy, you’ll learn how to shift from conflict to collaboration by regulating your own emotions first—so you can parent with confidence and clarity.
Improve Communication and Strengthen Emotional BondsWhen conversations escalate or break down, it’s often because emotional safety is missing. Virtual family therapy helps you recognize communication patterns, reduce reactivity, and build deeper, more connected relationships with your child, teen, or partner.
Resolve Family Conflicts with Greater UnderstandingOngoing family tension can leave everyone feeling disconnected. In remote family counseling, you’ll learn how fight, flight, and freeze responses show up in family interactions. By understanding and regulating stress responses, you can de-escalate conflicts and bring more calm to your daily life.
Support Your Teen or Young Adult Through Life’s TransitionsAdolescence and early adulthood bring big changes. If your teen or adult child is struggling with independence, emotions, or relationships, internet-based family therapy provides a safe space to strengthen your relationship and help them develop emotional regulation skills for life.
