Online therapy in Texas:your questions, answered.
A few of the things women in Texas ask most often before reaching out.

Do you offer virtual therapy for women anywhere in Texas?
Yes. Sage Women's Counseling is 100% telehealth. I see adult women who are physically located anywhere in Texas.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. I'm currently in-network with Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and Curative, with more plans being added. Reach out and I can confirm whether I take yours.
Can I see you if I don't live in Texas?
No. Texas licensing rules require that clients be located in Texas at the time of session. I only work with women who reside in Texas.
What can I expect in a first session?
The first session is about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. You can ask me anything too, it's a two-way fit, not just an intake.
What kind of therapy do you do?
I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Therapy, and Mindfulness. What we use depends on you, what you're working through, and what actually fits.
Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person?
Research consistently shows telehealth therapy is comparable to in-person for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Many women also find it easier to fit into a full life.
Can I bring my baby to session?
Absolutely. Because sessions are virtual, having your baby nearby - nursing, sleeping, or nestled against you - is completely welcome. You don't need to arrange childcare to come to therapy. A fussy moment or a feeding break is never a disruption; we simply work around your life. This is your space, and you're welcome in it exactly as you are.
Is my telehealth session private?
Yes. Sessions are conducted on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
How do I know if we're a good fit?
My caseload is currently full, so I'm not offering consultations right now. You're welcome to email me to join my waitlist, and I'll reach out when a spot opens. If you need support sooner, I'm happy to share names of other therapists who specialize in perinatal and women's health.
Ready to start?
My caseload is currently full, but email is the easiest first step. Share a little about what's going on and I'll be in touch to schedule.
