ONLINE THERAPY IN INDIANA
Because sometimes therapy is easier at home…
In today’s world, online therapy is an easy way to access counseling from the comfort of your surroundings. Online therapy might seem a bit weird at first (especially if you’re doing sex therapy). But, lots of our clients say they actually enjoy talking to our therapists online. Furthermore, they have found that it is easier to make time for counseling when they don’t have to commute in traffic or drive long distances to see a therapist who specializes in the issues they’re having. Now, you can attend sessions before school begins, in-between work meetings, or after their kids go to bed. Overall, online therapy gives you more flexibility to attend counseling at a time that works in your schedule.
Let’s face it, rates of anxiety and depression have skyrocketed. Relationship concerns have become more prominent, and couples are arguing more. And loneliness is more common than ever. Maybe, the stress of being home with your partner all day has become frustrating. Or, your kids are home 24/7, you don’t have a moment to think, let alone take care of yourself. Online therapy can help you through all these issues.
Or maybe, you simply want to dive in and work on your relationship with yourself or your significant other because you recognize that therapy can be a preventive step. Online therapy can help with that too. We are here to help you address the issues that matter to you. Then, you can get back to life and feel happy and confident.
Online Therapy Makes it Simple to Work With a Therapist in Indiana
We know that high-quality relationship counseling and sex therapy are not available in a lot of rural areas in Indiana like Aurora, Santa Claus, or Williamsport for example. If you live in a small town, you may not have access to a therapist who specializes in treating the specific mental health concerns you’re having. Therefore, you would have to travel long distances just to get the mental health support you need. But, with online therapy, our team of therapists can provide you with high-quality counseling services, anywhere in the state of Indiana. Our therapist Vikki Smyth currently offers sex therapy, relationship counseling, DBT, and more to Indiana residents.

Online relationship counseling and online marriage therapy…
As sex and relationship therapists, we realize that often there are reoccurring challenges in a relationship that need to be addressed. If they go untreated, it’s hard to move forward in a relationship. Remember, it’s okay for couples to fight, but the mark of a healthy partnership is how couples overcome their challenges and work together. When you find yourself or your partner coping with conflicts and relationship frustration by withdrawing or becoming defensive or hurtful, then it may be time to seek the help of a skilled couples therapist.
In relationship counseling, our team of therapists will guide you in ending negative relationship cycles present in your relationship. This will help you heal your partnership and offer you a clear path to move forward together.
General Therapy for Online Therapy…
Sometimes, you just need someone who can listen to you. Life can bring many different challenges your way. Maybe, you aren’t feeling totally like yourself these days. Or, the concerns of the environment around you has become too much to take. Perhaps, the loneliness of quarantine has really caught up to you. Most people feel depressed, anxious, and stressed at some point in their life. When this happens, it can simply help to have another person to talk with.
All the therapists at Emma Schmidt and Associates are educated and trained as general counselors. So, we can guide you through a variety of mental health challenges. However, if we feel that your concerns are outside of our specialization or competency we will make sure you get into the hands of the right people. What is very important to us is that you are getting high-quality care even if that means referring you to another clinician. Please reach out to our therapy office if you are curious if one of our counselors would be the right fit for you and your needs.
Online Premarital Counseling in Indiana…
CONGRATULATIONS! You’re about to get married This is such an important time in your journey when you and your partner are filled with hope for the future.

During premarital counseling, you will work on getting to know your future partner better with the help of questions from your counselor. You and your partner will get to take part in an assessment through Prepare/Enrich, which will allow you to better understand your areas of growth and where you thrive in your relationship.
Next, you will discuss challenges that frequently in relationships. These include finances, children and parenting, blending families, cultures, and religions, division of marital and household responsibilities and duties, and more.
Ultimately, premarital counseling sets you up for the best possible success to have a satisfying and long-lasting marriage.

EMDR through Online Therapy…
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative and research-based therapeutic approach used with talk counseling. EMDR helps clients overcome the roadblocks preventing them from moving forward and finding true therapeutic healing. Although it is often used to treat trauma and PTSD, it can also be a treatment for a variety of other mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, sexual and intimacy concerns, performance issues, and more.
EMDR is traditionally done in a clinical setting but we have had success administering it over an online platform too.
