More about Bartholomew

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

I am a licensed therapist with extensive training in treating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, queer concerns, and family / couple dynamics. I meet with individuals, couples, and families to explore what matters to them most. I meet with clients usually once a week, live, and encourage discussion of any messaging during that time. I like to say it is similar to sending me a journal entry that we can dive deeper into later. My treatment approach for couples and families is emotion-focused therapy. The modality I practice for individuals is psychodynamic and person-centered.

It can be difficult at first to find a good fit with a therapist. I provide a safe space for you to vent while we get to know each other. When the moment calls for more, we dig a little deeper and look to the root of the issue. I can be gentle. I can be blunt. Simply put, I am here to facilitate insight and new experiences to move you that much closer to the life you want.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
