# Online therapy for Lakeland

Polk County sits between Tampa and Orlando, which means most specialist appointments come with an hour of I-4 attached.

Telehealth, not an office

That drive is the reason a lot of people here never start. It is not ambivalence. It is a calculation about the working day, and it usually comes out the same way.

The other thing I hear from this part of the state is a preference for being told plainly what we are doing and why. That suits how I work. Sessions are conversational and direct, with no worksheets to take home and no expectation that you journal in between.

Ninety minutes in one sitting, rather than fifty minutes a week for a year, is the part most people find hardest to believe and easiest to like.

Polk County by video: Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, Auburndale, Plant City. There is no physical office in Lakeland. Every session runs by secure video.

Sessions are online. This shows the area served, not an office location.
