Online counseling questions

06. Why online counseling?

When schedules, traffic, parking and childcare are barriers to you and your partner working on improving your relationship, online counseling can offer a stress-free alternative to in-person sessions.

07. Is it as effective as meeting in-person?

Yes! Online counseling is just as effective as meeting in-person. You are still receiving the same quality of care from me, but with the added convenience and scheduling flexibility.

Online counseling also offers the same privacy and confidentiality as meeting in-person. My video conferencing platform through Zoom is secure and HIPPA compliant.

08. Is online counseling right for us?

Not all couples and not all issues are best suited for online counseling. During the first session we will assess if this will be the right fit for you. If I determine that you are not a good fit for me, I will NOT charge you for the first session and provide a referral with another therapist.

09. What do we need to get setup?

    1. A computer or tablet with camera and microphone enabled.
    2. A quiet, private place in your home where you’ll not be interrupted.
    3. Couples should log into videoconference session from one computer.
    4. Headphones to increase privacy (optional).

Testimonals

“I’m really grateful, Julie’s analysis perfectly illuminated the pain points in our relationship and offered a clear path forward to addressing those issues.”

“Julie has been an incredible resource for my partner and I as we pursue premarital counseling. She has given us invaluable tools to navigate conflict and help us communicate with one another that we use daily. Her counseling sessions provide us with a calm, judgment-free setting to talk about recent experiences and developments in our relationship–positive and otherwise-and we always come away from them grateful for her guidance. We understand each other better and communicate more effectively thanks to Julie and the tools she have given us. In short, her counseling has had a demonstrably positive impact on our relationship.“

“Julie was very professional, very prompt on meeting and was amazing to communicate on scheduling. The concepts and the way she looks into relationships was the best I have been through. Julie, thank you for all your efforts.”

“Julie is a naturally gifted and compassionate therapist, as well as highly educated and experienced. I have found that these qualities don’t always go hand-in-hand in a therapist but Julie has the trifecta of what it takes to really help people have better lives. At the same time she does not waste one’s time and helps her clients get what they need in a timely manner. She is direct, yet warm, flexible, and trustworthy. Both my partner and I felt that she was 100% present at every session. We only worked with Julie for about 6 months but we feel our relationship has grown deeper and better than ever before and months after working with Julie we are surprised to see that it continues to improve in all aspects. If you are seeking a top-notch, effective, compassionate, and caring therapist, we highly recommend her!.”

“My husband and I really enjoyed working with Julie Hassler from The Cloud Couch LLC for couples therapy this winter. She was so kind, professional, organized, approachable, and a great listener. We also loved all her suggestions and the science based (Gottman) approach. The Gottman quiz was also very useful information as well for us to take home. The remote video option was also great for us. I’d highly recommend hiring Julie!      🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Julie established a well-rounded perspective of our relationship and clarified our problematic areas allowing for a more focused treatment plan. The process also gave us the vocabulary to better address those issues, which was exactly what we were looking for.”

“My partner and I have left every session with Julie feeling hope, joy, and a sense of connection. We first reached out to Julie after deciding we were ready for the next step in our relationship: marriage. Though firmly committed to one another, we realized that we also had a lot of room for growth, especially in the way that we handled conflict. As a Gottman therapist, Julie has given us the tools to communicate more effectively–both in and outside of conflict–and a space to get to the core issues underlying our disagreements. With her guidance, we have grown a lot as individuals and as a couple, and we have been able to listen to and understand one another in a deeper and more meaningful way. I will forever be thankful for all the support that Julie has given us.”

“We are very grateful to have met and worked with Julie. She is easy to schedule for those needing later appointments. Even without having Julie in the room with us, we could feel her intention and grace while coaching us through difficult feelings and conversations. We feel comfort knowing we have her as a resource if we find ourselves needing help.”

“The initial assessment my partner and I took really showed us our strengths and reaffirmed the areas of our relationship we wanted to improve. Julie helped us focus on how we handle conflict and we left each session with tools that we’ve been able to put into practice and enhance our life. As a couple just a few months away from getting married, our time with Julie has made us even more confident that we have what it takes to have a happy marriage for years to come.”

“I really appreciated Julie’s calm and invested energy during our sessions. I felt she was unbiased in feedback, articulated appreciation for both of our perspectives, and did not come across to “take sides,” creating a safe place for both of us to share. I appreciated the first session to review the timeline of our relationship and how we aligned together as a couple. I always felt comfortable, seen, and heard in our sessions. I think we found the right fit in Julie and her tools.“
