Professional Online Counseling from the Comfort of Your Home

Get Started

Proudly Serving Families Throughout Los Angeles County

Life's challenges don't pause for transportation issues, busy schedules, or mobility limitations.

Whether you're managing work demands in San Francisco, caring for family in Los Angeles, or living in rural California communities, accessing quality mental health care shouldn't add stress to your life.

Olive Leaf Therapy's telehealth services bring professional, attachment-based counseling directly to your safe space.

Our California-licensed therapists provide the same compassionate, trauma-informed care through secure virtual sessions that you'd receive in our physical offices. With Christopher Johnson specializing exclusively in telehealth services, we've perfected the art of creating meaningful therapeutic connections through technology.

From the mountains of Northern California to the beaches of San Diego, our virtual therapy platform ensures that every Californian can access the mental health support they deserve, when and where they need it most.

Our telehealth therapy services provide comprehensive mental health support through secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions accessible throughout California.

Using advanced video conferencing technology, our licensed therapists deliver the same quality care as in-person sessions, specializing in individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, and group sessions tailored to your unique needs.

The virtual therapy process begins with a secure video connection from any private location with a reliable internet connection.

Our therapists create a warm, supportive environment that transcends physical distance, utilizing proven therapeutic techniques including attachment-based therapy, family-centered approaches, and trauma-informed care. Each session maintains the same confidentiality and professional standards as traditional office visits.

Our California-based team understands the diverse needs across the state, from urban professionals managing high-stress careers to families in remote areas seeking specialized support. Sessions can be scheduled during traditional hours or arranged to accommodate unique time zones and work schedules, ensuring therapy fits seamlessly into your life rather than disrupting it.

Telehealth therapy proves particularly effective for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family communication challenges. The comfort of familiar surroundings often helps clients open up more readily, while the elimination of travel time and logistics removes common barriers to consistent therapeutic engagement throughout California.

Key Benefits

  • Transportation challenges, mobility limitations, and geographic distance no longer prevent Californians from accessing quality mental health care. Our telehealth platform serves clients from San Diego to the Oregon border, ensuring that rural communities, individuals with disabilities, and those without reliable transportation can receive consistent therapeutic support.

    This accessibility proves especially valuable for California's diverse geography and population distribution. Whether you're managing chronic pain that makes travel difficult, caring for young children who can't be left alone, or living in areas where mental health resources are scarce, telehealth therapy bridges these gaps effectively. Parents can attend family sessions while children nap, and individuals with social anxiety can begin their therapeutic journey from their safest space.

    The elimination of commute time also means more frequent session opportunities and better consistency in treatment. California traffic and distances that might make weekly therapy sessions challenging become non-issues, allowing for more flexible scheduling and improved therapeutic outcomes through regular, uninterrupted engagement.

  • Your home environment offers unparalleled privacy and comfort that can actually enhance therapeutic outcomes. Many clients report feeling more open and authentic when participating in therapy from their personal space, surrounded by familiar comforts rather than adjusting to an unfamiliar office setting.

    This comfort level proves particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma, or family dynamics. Teens often engage more readily from their own rooms, while couples can address relationship concerns in the same space where they navigate daily challenges. The familiar environment can reduce the initial nervousness that often accompanies early therapy sessions, allowing for faster rapport building and more effective treatment engagement.

    Privacy concerns that might prevent someone from seeking therapy, such as worrying about being seen entering a therapist's office, are eliminated. This discretion encourages California residents who might otherwise avoid mental health services due to stigma or professional concerns to prioritize their emotional well-being without compromising their sense of privacy or security.

  • California's demanding work culture, long commutes, and diverse family schedules require mental health services that adapt to real-life constraints. Our telehealth platform offers scheduling flexibility that traditional office visits simply cannot match, accommodating early morning sessions before work, lunch break appointments, or evening sessions after children are in bed.

    This flexibility proves essential for working parents, shift workers, students, and professionals with irregular schedules. A tech worker in Silicon Valley can attend couples therapy during a brief break between meetings, while a healthcare professional working night shifts can schedule sessions during their available daytime hours. The elimination of travel time means a 50-minute session truly takes 50 minutes, not the additional hour often required for commuting and parking.

    For families spread across California or dealing with complex schedules, virtual sessions enable participation that might otherwise be impossible. Divorced parents can attend co-parenting sessions without the logistics of meeting at a central location, and college students can maintain therapeutic relationships established in their hometown while attending school elsewhere in the state.

  • Our dedicated telehealth specialist, Christopher Johnson, brings focused expertise in virtual therapeutic relationships, understanding the unique dynamics and opportunities that online therapy presents. Working exclusively in the telehealth format, he has refined techniques specifically designed for virtual engagement, ensuring that the therapeutic alliance remains strong and effective through digital connection.

    Christopher's specialization means he understands how to navigate technology seamlessly while maintaining therapeutic focus, how to read non-verbal cues through video platforms, and how to create exercises and interventions that work particularly well in virtual settings. His experience includes working with California clients facing various challenges, from urban stress to rural isolation, adapting his approach to meet diverse needs across the state.

    This specialized focus ensures that your telehealth experience isn't simply traditional therapy adapted for video, but rather a purposefully designed virtual therapeutic experience. Christopher's expertise helps clients maximize the unique benefits of online therapy while ensuring that the quality and effectiveness of treatment meet the same high standards as in-person sessions.

  • While telehealth provides comprehensive therapeutic support, our integrated approach means you can seamlessly transition between virtual and in-person sessions based on your changing needs or preferences. With physical locations in Fresno, Clovis, and Long Beach, clients have the flexibility to combine telehealth convenience with face-to-face sessions when circumstances warrant.

    This hybrid flexibility proves valuable during life transitions, crises, or when specific therapeutic interventions might benefit from in-person interaction. Families might begin with virtual sessions for convenience and later choose in-person meetings for intensive work, or individuals might use telehealth for maintenance sessions while scheduling periodic in-person appointments for deeper therapeutic exploration.

    The continuity of care between virtual and physical settings ensures that your therapeutic progress remains consistent regardless of the format. Your therapist maintains complete records and therapeutic understanding across both mediums, allowing for smooth transitions that serve your evolving needs throughout your mental health journey in California.

Our Approach

Our telehealth therapy approach combines Olive Leaf Therapy's core philosophy of restoring peace through healthy connections with specialized techniques designed for virtual therapeutic relationships.

We understand that meaningful healing can occur through digital platforms when therapists are specifically trained in online engagement and relationship building.

Christopher Johnson's telehealth-only practice reflects our commitment to mastering virtual therapeutic techniques rather than simply adapting in-person methods for video calls. This specialization means understanding how to read subtle emotional cues through screens, how to create engaging therapeutic exercises for online participants, and how to build trust and rapport through digital connection.

Our attachment-based, family-centered, and trauma-informed approaches translate effectively to virtual settings because they focus on emotional connection and relational healing rather than requiring physical presence. Many clients discover that the comfort and privacy of their own space actually enhances their ability to engage authentically in therapeutic work.

For California residents, this approach recognizes the unique challenges of our state's geography, lifestyle demands, and cultural diversity. Virtual therapy removes barriers while maintaining the highest standards of professional care, ensuring that every Californian can access the mental health support they deserve, regardless of location, mobility, or schedule constraints.
