Online Therapy for Type A Overthinkers

You’ve got a good head on your shoulders.

A compliment given to you by youth pastors and teachers from the beginning of time. But lately you’ve been wondering why your heart is going rogue. And where the hell your intuition even is?

You’ve read the books. Downloaded meditation apps. Maybe even bought an essential oil or tarot deck. You’re hustling for healing though, and not getting anywhere. 

Rubrics and rules are a safety net you’ve become impossibly tangled in, and it’s beginning to frighten you. How can you have a full life without them? How could you possibly live with them?

Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and you just couldn’t see the point of talking about your numerous feelings so much. Listen, I’m never going to tell you to feel your feelings. I will give you skills to learn and things to do that will actually work. 

You don’t have to fake smile for me. You don’t have to paper over the loneliness and secret pain. You don’t have to pretend to believe that life will ever be better. Somehow though, I’d like to believe that for you. 

I’m believing for you that one day anxieties and desperations and trips to the mall won’t feel so taxing. I’m believing for you that you’re going to wake up on some Tuesday and inhale and exhale and be thankful for every piece of your life.

Hey, I’m Emilea!

A millennial therapist who loves a metaphor, The Office, and a good rom com.

I’m fluent in Evangelical faux-authenticity (the life group I’m plugged into just wants to do life together, you know?) and now love playing with the tarot. 

After spending my entire life as a devout evangelical Christian, I realized it took advantage of my self doubt. My need to people please. My ability to push through even when I was hurting. It took me three therapists, countless workbooks, and all of the Brene talks on the internet to come out the other side. I don’t want you to spend eight years figuring it out. 

Online Therapy in South Carolina

Online therapy is all the juiciness of the therapy journey without the commute. All you need is a stable WiFi connection, a device with a camera, and a pair of headphones. 

I work with anxious millennials deconstructing their faith across the state of South Carolina.

Why Telehealth?

Honestly, I was a skeptic too until 2020 forced us all to figure it out. And I discovered all kinds of awesomeness

  • It’s just as effective as in person

  • Busy, overwhelmed people who struggle to find time for themselves to eat lunch, much less drive to a therapy session, suddenly had a barrier removed to getting the care they needed.

  • No need to change out of your pajamas

  • Schedule therapy on your WFH days, during lunch breaks, or wherever you have a free hour and a private space.
