We offer secure, web-based video conferencing using the software platform, Zoom. Clients will be able to use their computer or portable device, such as a smartphone or tablet, with webcam, microphone and speakers to connect with their counselor through this system. Online therapy services can be offered to individuals, families, or couples in their home or in an agreed upon location that is deemed to be the most appropriate for sessions.

CCA is committed to offering services that best meet the needs of our clients. With online therapy, we can meet clients where they are and offer excellent counseling services to those who may have obstacles to coming into one of our offices for care. Online therapy provides the convenience of counseling in a variety of private settings using your private computer or electronic device. Online therapy is the delivery of mental health services provided by way of telecommunications technologies between the therapist and the client.

Individual therapy (sometimes called “psychotherapy” or “counseling”) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist—in a safe, caring, and confidential environment—to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.

People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons, from coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with depression or anxiety, to simply desiring personal growth and greater self-awareness. A client and therapist may work together for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the client’s unique needs and personal goals for therapy. CCA specializes in individual counseling for children, teens, adults and seniors.

Marriage, Family and Couples counseling is a process through which a couple (who may be engaged, dating or married, or sometimes even parent and child or other pairings) works with a trained therapist to identify specific areas of conflict and/or aspects of their relationship they would like to change, and then develops a plan of action to improve each individual’s satisfaction and contentment.

Working with a therapist in a safe and confidential setting, couples are able to explore their individual backgrounds (family of origin dynamics), beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors may be impacting their relationship in both positive and negative ways. The therapist may assist the couple with addressing any immediate and pressing problems, as well as developing strategies for protecting and enhancing the long-term health and happiness of their relationship.

In general, trauma can be defined as a psychological, emotional response to an event or an experience that is deeply distressing or disturbing. When loosely applied, this trauma definition can refer to something upsetting, such as being involved  in an accident, having an illness or injury, losing a loved one, or going through a  divorce. However, it can also encompass the far extreme and include experiences  that are severely damaging, such as rape, human trafficking victim or torture. 

Because events are viewed subjectively, this broad trauma definition is more of a guideline. Everyone processes a traumatic event differently because we all face  them through the lens of prior experiences in our lives. For example: one person might be upset and fearful after going through a hurricane, but someone else might have lost family and barely escaped from a flooded home during Hurricane Katrina. In this case, a minor Category One hurricane may bring up traumatic flashbacks of their terrifying experience.
