How Virtual Sessions Work

Sessions run over secure, HIPAA-compliant video. On your side, the main requirement is a private space where you can speak freely for the full session. Our therapists are licensed in California, so you need to be located in the state for each session.

If you live near our West LA practice, you can move between office visits and video with the same therapist and the same treatment plan, so a packed week never has to mean a skipped session.

The California coast. Life Threads Therapy offers online therapy anywhere in California

What You Can Do Online

Virtual sessions carry the same clinical depth as in-person care. Clients meet with us online for:

  • Individual therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions
  • EMDR, with bilateral stimulation adapted for video
  • IFS and psychodynamic therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Therapy for teens

Who You Will See

Bree Anthony, MA, LMFT (CA LMFT #154730) is our clinic director and is EMDR trained, working with teens and adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and OCD. Lyndsay Mclaren, LPCC (CA LPCC #11036) brings more than 11 years of outpatient, residential, and inpatient experience to work with adolescents, adults, and families on eating disorders, trauma, identity, and life transitions.

Bree sees clients Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons. Lyndsay also offers evening appointments. For EMDR specifically, see our online EMDR therapy page.

Cost and Reimbursement

Online sessions are the same flat $200 as office sessions. We are out of network: we check your benefits before your first session, file superbill claims for you, and our clients typically see 50% to 80% of the session cost returned to them. Our reimbursement estimator gives you a quick number.

Getting Started

Every new client starts with a free 20-minute consultation: an unhurried conversation where we figure out fit and next steps together. Book online, or send a question through the contact page first if that feels easier.
