Therapy for College-Aged Students
College is often painted as “the best time of your life”, but for many students, it can also feel incredibly stressful, lonely, and overwhelming. Whether you’re starting your first year, preparing to graduate, or somewhere in between, this chapter of life brings big transitions. From managing academic pressure to adjusting to a new environment, it’s normal to feel uncertain or emotionally stretched.
I offer online therapy for college students throughout Florida and California, including those attending school in Los Angeles and other major cities. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, homesickness, social stress, or simply figuring out who you are, therapy can give you the space to slow down, feel heard, and build tools to support your well-being, both in school and beyond.

So, now what?
Consultation
Think of it as a first meeting with the therapist to get to know each other and decide if working together feels right. It’s like a “getting-to-know-you” session, not a full therapy session.
We will discuss what are some of the challenges you’re facing and what you hope to achieve. You don’t need all the answers; it’s just about sharing what’s on your mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Transitioning to College
Starting college is a major life transition—and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Whether you’ve moved across the state or are adjusting to life in a fast-paced city like Los Angeles, the shift to college can bring up stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. Through online therapy for college students in California, we’ll explore your experience, process your feelings, and help you build tools to adjust with confidence and clarity.
Roommate Struggles
Living with roommates for the first time can be both exciting and stressful. Conflicts, mismatched lifestyles, or simply a lack of privacy can create tension that affects your mental health. Therapy can help you navigate these challenges, develop healthy boundaries, and communicate your needs effectively. You don’t have to handle it all on your own—support is available no matter where you attend college in California.
Exam Stress and Academic Pressure
The pressure to succeed can feel overwhelming—especially when it seems like everyone else is handling it with ease. If you’re dealing with test anxiety, procrastination, or burnout, you’re not alone. In therapy for academic stress, we’ll work together to address perfectionism, time management, and the emotional toll of high expectations, so you can approach school with more balance and less fear.
Making Friends and Finding Your People
College can be isolating, even when you’re surrounded by people. Making new friends, finding your community, and feeling like you belong can take time—and that process can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, or loneliness. Online therapy for college students in California can be a space to explore these feelings, build confidence, and discover what connection looks like for you.
Managing Anxiety in College
College life comes with a long list of stressors—academic pressure, social expectations, identity exploration, and major life decisions. If anxiety is getting in the way of your daily life, therapy can help. Whether you’re experiencing panic attacks, racing thoughts, or general overwhelm, I offer online therapy for anxiety in California college students that’s tailored to your experience and paced to your needs.
Homesickness
Missing home is more common than people admit—especially in the first year of college. Being far from family, familiar places, or routines can make you feel disconnected or lost. In therapy, we can talk about how to manage homesickness, build new support systems, and feel more grounded in your current chapter, even if you’re still adjusting.
