Online therapy in Colorado — the full practice, wherever you are
Some practices treat telehealth as an afterthought. We don’t. Nearly every therapist at My Denver Therapy offers online sessions, and nearly every service we provide in person — EMDR, IFS, couples work, trauma therapy, and more — is available virtually to anyone in Colorado. Whether you’re in Grand Junction, Fort Collins, Pueblo, or the mountains, you can work with the same specialists our Denver-area clients see.
Online therapy that isn't watered down
When online therapy became widespread, a lot of practices bolted it on as a limited option — a few therapists, a narrow set of services, mostly basic talk therapy. That’s not what we built.
At My Denver Therapy, telehealth is a core part of how we practice. That means when you choose online therapy with us, you’re not getting a stripped-down version of what we offer in person. You’re getting the full range: specialized trauma modalities, evidence-based approaches, and therapists with the same training and credentials as anyone you’d sit across from in our offices.
For many Coloradans — especially those outside the Denver metro, in rural areas, or with schedules that don’t accommodate a commute — online therapy isn’t a compromise. It’s what makes quality specialized care accessible at all.

Does online therapy actually work?
It’s a fair question, and the research answer is clear: for most concerns, online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. Studies across anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions have consistently found comparable outcomes between telehealth and face-to-face treatment.
Even modalities you might assume require in-person contact work well online:
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, which can be delivered virtually through guided eye movements on screen, or through self-administered tactile methods. Research on virtual EMDR has shown outcomes comparable to in-person delivery.
IFS is largely an internal process — turning attention inward to work with parts. Many clients find the safety of their own home actually deepens the work.
Couples therapy online lets partners engage from their own space, and some couples find it easier to open up when they’re not in an unfamiliar office.
There are situations where in-person care is the better fit, and we’ll always be honest with you about that. But for most people, online therapy removes barriers without removing effectiveness.
Who online therapy is right for
Online therapy tends to be an especially good fit if you:
- Live outside the Denver metro — in rural Colorado, the Western Slope, or a mountain community where specialized therapists are scarce
- Have a schedule that makes commuting to appointments difficult
- Manage chronic illness, disability, or mobility challenges
- Are a parent or caregiver who can’t easily leave home
- Prefer the comfort and privacy of your own space
- Want access to a specific specialist who isn’t near you geographically
- Travel frequently and need continuity of care
Because we’re licensed throughout Colorado, we can see clients anywhere in the state — which means your choice of therapist isn’t limited by your ZIP code.
How it works
1. Reach out Contact us and we’ll match you with a therapist who fits your needs, goals, and schedule — drawing from our full team, not just a subset.
2. Get set up Online sessions happen over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a private space, a device with a camera, and an internet connection.
3. Meet with your therapist Sessions run just like in-person therapy — same length, same depth, same therapist each time. You build the same kind of relationship; it just happens through a screen.
4. Do the work from wherever you are Whether that’s your living room in Denver or a kitchen table in Durango, the work is the same.
You can switch between in-person and online with the same therapist
Many of our clients do both. They come into the Greenwood Village office when the week allows it and switch to video when it doesn’t, and nothing about the work changes because the therapist doesn’t change.
That flexibility is the main thing a local practice offers that a national platform can’t. Your therapist has a room with their name on it at one of our offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, or Lone Tree, and the same license, the same training, and the same notes travel with them when you meet online.
Clients use this in a few common ways:
- Starting in person for the first few sessions, then moving online once the relationship is established.
- Keeping a standing in-person slot and taking the occasional session from home during a sick kid, a snowstorm, or a work trip.
- Doing EMDR or Brainspotting in the office and talk-based sessions online.
- Moving within Colorado and keeping the same therapist without interruption.
There’s no separate intake, no fee difference, and no need to decide up front. Tell your therapist what you need that week.
Online therapy and in-person therapy compared
Clients ask what they give up by choosing one over the other. The honest answer is very little, and the differences are practical rather than clinical.
Who you see. Online, you can work with any of our licensed Colorado therapists regardless of which office they’re based in. In person, you choose from the therapists at the office nearest you.
What’s available. Every modality we offer in the office is available online: EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting, EFT and the Gottman Method, CBT, DBT, ACT, Christian counseling, and psychiatric medication management. The two exceptions are sandplay therapy and ketamine-assisted sessions, which happen in person. Ketamine preparation and integration sessions can still be done by video.
Session length and fee. Identical. There is no surcharge or discount for either format.
Where you can be. Online, anywhere in Colorado. In person, our offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree.
Who tends to prefer online:
- People with packed schedules or long commutes
- Clients in rural and mountain communities
- Parents of young children
- Anyone who focuses better in their own space
Who tends to prefer in person:
- Clients who want a physical separation between therapy and home
- Early-stage trauma work where the therapist’s presence in the room helps
- Children and younger teens
- Anyone doing ketamine-assisted sessions
Switching. Any time, with the same therapist, and no new intake. Most of our clients end up doing some of both.

Frequently asked questions
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
For most concerns, yes. Research on video-based therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship problems consistently shows outcomes comparable to in-person care. A few situations are better suited to the office, such as therapy for young children or ketamine-assisted sessions, and we’ll tell you up front if that applies to you.
Can I do some sessions in person and some online?
Yes. You keep the same therapist either way and can switch week to week. Many of our clients do a mix, and there’s no separate intake or fee difference.
Can I see any of your therapists online, or just some?
Nearly all of our therapists offer telehealth. We match you with a specialist based on what you need, not on which office is closest to you.
Can I do EMDR online?
Yes. Our EMDR-trained therapists use on-screen bilateral stimulation or self-guided tapping, and research supports online EMDR as effective. We’ve been offering it since 2020. Read more about online EMDR in Colorado.
Is online IFS or Brainspotting as effective as in person?
In our experience, yes. Both approaches rely on the therapist’s attention and the client’s internal focus more than on anything in the room. We’ve been running online IFS and online Brainspotting since 2020 and see the same outcomes we see in the office.
Is online couples therapy effective?
Yes. Couples work well online, including Gottman Method and EFT. Partners can join from the same room or from two different locations.
Can teens do online therapy?
Yes, with a parent or guardian’s consent and a private space at home. Our teen therapists are used to working by video and will talk with you about what’s appropriate for your teen’s age and situation.
Can I get psychiatric medication through online therapy?
Yes. Our psychiatric nurse practitioner provides medication management by video for Colorado residents and coordinates directly with your therapist. Some prescriptions have in-person or state-specific requirements, which we’ll explain at your first appointment.
Do you offer online therapy outside the Denver area?
Yes. Our therapists are licensed throughout Colorado, and we see clients statewide, from Fort Collins to Durango and Grand Junction to the Eastern Plains.
Do you offer online therapy in the mountains?
Yes. We see clients across Summit County, Eagle County, Pitkin County, Routt County, and the rest of the high country. Our therapists are licensed statewide, and session times are flexible enough to work around seasonal and shift schedules.
What happens if I move or travel out of Colorado?
Colorado licenses only cover sessions where you’re physically in Colorado. If you travel, we’ll plan around it; if you move, we’ll help you transfer care and may be able to continue short-term depending on the other state’s rules. Ask us before you go.
What do I need for an online session?
A private space, a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, and a stable internet connection. Sessions run on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, and there’s nothing to download.
How much does online therapy cost?
Online sessions are the same rate as in-person sessions. We’re a private-pay practice and out-of-network with insurance; we provide superbills you can submit for reimbursement, and a sliding scale is available.
Is online therapy private and secure?
Yes. We use an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform, and online sessions are held to the same confidentiality standards as sessions in our offices.
