Welcome to MySpectrum
A Practice, Not a Platform
Therapy counseling involves meeting with a therapist to talk one-on-one about your struggles and how to develop the strategies you need to overcome them. Talking with an experienced counseling therapist helps many people learn effective coping strategies, identify destructive behavioral patterns, and mend relationships with friends and loved ones.
The things that make you different are the things that make you… YOU.
At MySpectrum, we look at mental health and wellness on a continuum and work with every person, on every spectrum.
We ask: What is your Spectrum?
Whether it is the Autism Spectrum, Mental Health Spectrum, or Substance Abuse Spectrum, or perhaps a combination therein, we are here to help you. We offer full online counseling for Virginia, Texas, and Maryland, wherever you are in these states, and many other states too. We also offer limited in-person sessions in Virginia.
We are also here to help you if you’re struggling with the day-to-day on the Whole Life Spectrum.
Maybe your child is struggling in school, you’re struggling at work, you’ve lost a loved one, your relationship is barely holding together, or any other number of stressors that life brings. Perhaps you are experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty with a life transition, or a general sense of emotional instability.
At MySpectrum, because life is on a continuum, we know that you may need support at any point in time. That is why we are here.
We offer unique and innovative outpatient counseling approaches that are “outside the box”. We don’t even think there is a box. We know that you are a unique person, so we will tailor your therapy counseling and coaching to best meet your unique needs.
At MySpectrum, we serve clients all over the state of Virginia, from near our counseling center in North Chesterfield, all the way up to Northern Virginia and all the way down to Virginia Beach and Roanoke via teletherapy. Our goal is to provide psychological therapy to you in a way that is convenient and comfortable.
Knowing that feelings and experiences come in all shapes and sizes, our therapeutic approaches will come in all shapes and sizes too.
There is no right or wrong. We will “meet you where you’re at” in your journey.

Benefits of Counseling Online at MySpectrum
Online counseling provides effective, accessible mental health care to individuals across all walks of life. At MySpectrum, our online therapy sessions are tailored to your needs – from managing day-to-day stress to addressing more complex emotional challenges.
Unlike traditional models, online therapy eliminates barriers like commute time and scheduling conflicts. Clients in Virginia, Texas, Maryland, and other parts of the U.S. can connect with a licensed therapist from the comfort of home. This flexibility promotes better therapy session consistency and enhances privacy, which is especially helpful for those who may be uncomfortable with in person therapy.
Virtual counseling also expands your options by giving access to a broader network of providers. With a wide selection of licensed professional counselors, individuals can find the online therapist who aligns with their specific needs or therapeutic preferences..
From anxiety and depression to grief and relationship stress, online counseling offers a reliable, effective path to find a solution and move forward with confidence.
Choosing the Best Counseling Practice
Finding the right online therapy service can be life-changing – but not all platforms are equal. In fact, some are just platforms, not actual therapy practices like MySpectrum! Start by looking at the credentials of each therapist, confirming they are a licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, or psychologist. Or, in some cases, the therapist might be receiving supervision toward licensure, which offers even greater variety to your selection. MySpectrum exclusively offers services through vetted and experienced professionals.
Privacy is key. Choose a virtual therapy provider with strict confidentiality protocols and secure technology for all online therapy sessions. At MySpectrum, your privacy is protected through HIPAA-compliant systems and thoughtful care practices.
When evaluating online therapy providers, you should also consider how sessions are conducted (video, phone, text), pricing transparency, and the availability of specialized services like teletherapy. For those searching in the Lone Star State, our dedicated Telehealth For Texas – MySpectrum Counseling & Coaching page is a helpful starting point.
Reading reviews and success stories can offer valuable insight as well. A high-quality online counseling service should feel personalized, not mechanical – because your story and healing journey are anything but standard.
Effectiveness of Counseling Online vs. In Person
One of the most common questions we hear: “Is online therapy as effective as meeting face-to-face?” In many cases, yes. Multiple studies show that virtual counseling and online therapy services offer comparable outcomes to in person therapy – especially for issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and emotional regulation.
Our therapy services are rooted in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness approaches, and strength-based coaching. We also offer therapy using EMDR, Internal Family Systems, DBT, and a host of other models. Most of all, we believe that tailoring the way therapy is provided is the best way, because it meets your needs more realistically. These modalities work well in digital environments, particularly when supported by consistent communication and therapist-client rapport.
For many, online counseling also reduces anxiety around entering a clinical setting, making it easier to open up. Clients are often more consistent with their therapy sessions when they can attend from home – whether they live in Texas, Maryland, Virginia, or elsewhere across the U.S.
Virtual services also allow clients to stick with the same therapist even if they relocate, offering stability in times of change. Our goal is to meet you virtually where you are – literally and emotionally.
