EMDR by secure video, statewide Most major insurance plans accepted The same therapist from your own space

A warm, calm corner of a home with soft natural light through a window, the kind of safe private space an adult settles into for online trauma therapy by secure video anywhere in Washington

Trauma work from your own safe space, by secure video anywhere in Washington. You choose the room, with grounding close at hand.

In short

Yes, you can do trauma therapy, including EMDR, online in Washington. Counseling Services for Wellbeing sees adults across the state by secure video, with an EMDR-trained team plus Internal Family Systems and somatic work. Research supports EMDR delivered by video, you do the work from your own safe space, and most major insurance plans are accepted, same week.

The thing in the way

You want to do this work. Where you do it matters more than people admit.

Your body braces when nothing is wrong. Your shoulders climb, your breath goes shallow, your guard comes up in rooms that are perfectly safe. You get through normal days under a low hum of dread, and the startle fires before your mind has a say. You know this is what trauma therapy is for, you have just not had anywhere good to take it.

And then there is the practical wall. Maybe there is no trauma-trained practice within a reasonable drive, or the ones nearby are months out or not taking new clients. Maybe a clinic waiting room is itself activating, the lobby, the strangers, the noise, so getting there costs more than it should. Or maybe a hard session ends and you have to get straight back in the car and drive, with nowhere to land first. Most of the online trauma services you have found will not take your insurance and hand you a different counselor each time.

Online trauma therapy here lets you do the work from your own safe space, with the same therapist each session, where your body already knows it is home and grounding is close at hand.

EMDR by video

EMDR and trauma therapy by secure video.

EMDR is one of the main approaches our team uses, and it can be delivered by secure video. Research supports EMDR delivered this way, and the work follows the same structure it would in the room.

The same structure, on screen

EMDR is a structured way to process what happened so it settles, and that structure carries over secure video. Your therapist guides each phase the same way they would in person.

Therapist-guided processing

The back-and-forth that EMDR uses to help a memory settle can be guided over video, with your therapist directing the pace on screen rather than across a room.

Grounding from your own room

A blanket, a pet, a cold glass of water, a window to look out of. You stay in a space your body knows, and you do not face a commute right after.

You stay in control of the pace

Safety and stabilization come first, by video as in person. Your therapist talks through whether EMDR is the right approach for you, and nothing starts until you are ready.

EMDR by video is offered by the clinicians on our team who deliver it that way, and we will match you with one of them. For the fuller explanation of how EMDR works, see EMDR therapy in Seattle, or to be in the room for it, trauma therapy in person at our Seattle-area offices.

What we offer

Trauma therapy for adults whose body still braces, from wherever they are.

A body that braces when nothing is wrong

Shoulders climb, breath goes shallow, the guard comes up in rooms that are perfectly safe, for no reason you can point to.

No trauma-trained practice nearby

Living somewhere with no trauma or EMDR practice within a reasonable drive, who would rather not settle for whoever is closest.

Safer doing the work from home

A clinic waiting room is itself activating, or you simply settle more in your own space, with grounding close at hand and no commute after.

A single hard event you carry

An accident, an assault, a medical emergency. Something happened, and your body has been holding it ever since.

Complex trauma held since childhood

Developmental or complex trauma, or post-traumatic stress, and the long fatigue of being told to just move on.

A schedule that never makes room

Work, caregiving or shift hours that never line up with an office, so video is the only way the time actually fits.

First-time-therapy adults are welcome. The work here is about helping your nervous system settle, not about reliving your story on repeat. Online trauma therapy here is adult-focused.

Our approach

How online trauma therapy works here.

We treat trauma as something the body holds, so the work attends to your nervous system, not only the narrative. That whole-body view shapes the pace of care and the methods we use, and it carries over secure video.

Reach out

A short form or a call. We hear what is going on and how trauma is showing up for you now, in the body, in sleep, in daily life. We never ask you to recount what happened to get started.

Get matched

We pair you with a therapist whose approach fits the kind of trauma you are carrying, including the clinicians who deliver EMDR by video. The same therapist stays with you, which matters more in trauma work than almost anywhere.

Start this week, from your space

First appointment by secure video anywhere in Washington, or in person at one of three Seattle-area offices. The early sessions are about safety and stabilization, building enough steadiness and trust before any processing begins.

The method

Why a whole-body lens, and why it carries by video.

EMDR is one of the main approaches our team uses. In plain terms, it is a structured way to process what happened so it settles, without reliving your story over and over. The American Psychological Association recognizes EMDR as an established treatment for post-traumatic stress, and the EMDR International Association publishes guidance for delivering it by video. Research supports EMDR delivered over secure video, so the structure carries into telehealth.

EMDR to process what happened so it settles, delivered by video by the clinicians who offer it that way. Internal Family Systems for the parts of you carrying it. Somatic and nervous-system work for the body that stays braced. Cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT skills where they fit. We match the approach to the kind of trauma you are carrying, not the other way around. We make no outcome promise.

Welcome

Most people think you’re doing fine. You show up, get through your day, and carry everything quietly. But inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding it all together.

I see you. And you don’t have to do this alone.Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the strong one.

But therapy is not a sign of weakness, it is an act of courage. It is a space where you can finally exhale, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel grounded, supported, and understood again.

Background:

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am trained in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches.

My path into this work comes from a deep passion for helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self. I believe that everyone carries a story, and within that story is resilience, strength, and the capacity for change.

As both a therapist and trauma-informed yoga instructor, I bring a mind-body perspective into my work, recognizing that healing is not just cognitive, but also emotional, physical, and nervous system-based.

Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, while also being honest and supportive. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities, including EMDR, somatic and body-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

I specialize in working with individuals working through trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, women’s issues, and life transitions. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, build self-trust, develop healthier coping patterns, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong, worthy, and empowered.

Next Steps

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own. Healing is possible, and you deserve support along the way.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and move forward with clarity and strength, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. Let’s begin that journey together

Welcome to my practice.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone. These are everyday human experiences. It can be frightening to reach out for help, so choosing to do something about it now and showing up for yourself is the most powerful first step you can take. I’m here to help you through your next steps.

As a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space for adults and older adults working through life’s transitions. My approach is grounded in a person-centered, trauma-informed framework, and I use a variety of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, motivational interviewing, expressive arts, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, to help you find what works best.

Together, we will explore your unique experiences and develop strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. I aim to empower you to build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and create a life that aligns with your values.

My Background

With a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at Austin, my clinical work has focused on supporting adults and older adults experiencing life transitions. I am particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I believe in the importance of creating a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment. I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development to ensure I provide my clients with the best possible care.

My Approach

Our work will be a collaborative process centered on your needs and goals. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. We will work at your pace, building trust and rapport as we work through your journey together.

I believe in the importance of self-compassion and resilience, and I will support you in developing these qualities. My holistic approach considers your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

My Commitment to You

I am committed to providing culturally competent and affirming care to all clients. I value diversity and believe everyone has the right to live authentically and pursue their goals.

I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing and growth.

Read bio Book with Stacy

Welcome
Hi, I’m Stacy Lanier (she/they), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in Washington and Texas. I specialize in helping individuals, teens, couples, and families work through life’s toughest moments, whether they are dealing with anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or strained communication.

If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a powerful step toward healing. I want to honor that courage. Therapy can be a place of transformation, but it doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I bring warmth, authenticity, and a deep respect for your story into every session. Whether you’re neurodivergent, working through family transitions, or trying to rewrite the script of how you show up in relationships, I’m here for it, and I’m here for you.

Background
Before I became a therapist, I spent years walking alongside people through grief, change, and growth as a caregiver, parent, advocate, and community leader. Those lived experiences, along with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and advanced training in EMDR and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, profoundly inform my work.

I have guided families through trauma recovery, identity shifts, and grief healing. I have created a supportive space for teens grappling with abandonment, for partners feeling trapped in old conflict patterns, and for individuals striving to reclaim their worth after years of self-doubt. My own journey has been shaped by movement across states, systems, and roles, and I understand what it is like to reimagine life in the face of change.

Approach

My therapy style is relational, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Therapy with me is tailored specifically for you. I integrate systemic thinking, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and various other modalities to help you explore the narratives and patterns that shape your life.

We might map your relationship cycles, externalize a negative self-belief, explore the roles different “parts” play inside you, or practice new communication strategies. You’ll find our sessions filled with metaphor, curiosity, a touch of humor, and an ongoing invitation to be your true self.

My areas of focus include:

LGBTQ+ mental health and identity development.
Parenting and supporting neurodivergent adolescents.
Trauma and complicated grief.
Attachment wounds and relational healing.
Boundaries, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
Family systems and attachment repair.
Relationship difficulties and communication challenges.

Closing
I believe therapy is a sacred space where insight, courage, and connection come together. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, or even just curious about what it might involve, I’d love to meet you right where you are.

Healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection.
Whether you’re looking to understand yourself more deeply, mend a strained relationship, or start a new chapter in life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Frequently asked questions

What adults ask about online trauma therapy in Washington.

Does online trauma therapy actually work?

Yes, trauma therapy can be done over video. Research supports trauma work delivered by secure video, and the American Psychological Association recognizes therapy delivered by video as a legitimate, studied format. The work is the same as in person, focused on helping your nervous system settle rather than reliving your story over and over, with the same therapist each session. We make no outcome promise and we will be straight with you about what we see.

Can EMDR be done online by secure video?

Yes. Research supports EMDR delivered by secure video, and the EMDR International Association publishes guidance for delivering EMDR virtually. Your therapist guides the same structured processing on screen, the back-and-forth EMDR uses can be done over video, and you stay in control of the pace. EMDR by video is offered by the clinicians on our team who deliver it that way, and we will match you with one of them. EMDR can be a good fit for many adults, and your therapist will talk through whether it is right for you before any processing begins. You can read more on our EMDR therapy in Seattle page.

Why do trauma work from home instead of an office?

Because the space you do it in matters. From home you are not facing a commute right after a hard session, you choose the environment, and you can keep grounding objects on hand, a blanket, a pet, a cold glass of water or a window to look out of. For many adults a clinic waiting room is itself activating, so doing the work from a space where your body already knows it is safe can make it easier to start and to stay with.

Will I have to relive what happened?

No. The work is about helping your nervous system settle, not about reliving your story over and over. Safety and stabilization come first, your therapist builds steadiness and trust before any processing begins, and you stay in control of the pace throughout. You will never be pushed to share more detail than you are ready to share, on video any more than in person.

How do I keep an online trauma session private at home?

You join from a private space with headphones over secure video built for healthcare, not a casual video app. Many clients use a closed room, a parked car or a time when the house is empty. We will talk through what works for your home before your first session, so the privacy is sorted before any of the harder work begins.

Do you take my insurance for online trauma therapy?

We accept most major insurance plans for online trauma therapy, including Kaiser, Aetna, Optum and Cigna, and that includes EMDR and other trauma work. We will confirm what your specific plan covers before your first session, so you know what to expect rather than guessing. You do not have to be cash-pay only the way most online trauma services and EMDR specialists require.

Is online trauma therapy as good as meeting in person?

For many adults it is a genuine alternative, not a lesser one. Research supports trauma therapy and EMDR delivered by video, and you get the same therapist and the same approach either way. Some people still prefer to be in the room, and that is always available with trauma therapy in person at our Seattle-area offices. We will help you choose what fits, and you can move between video and in-person sessions as your needs change without starting over.

Where in Washington can I get online trauma therapy or EMDR?

Anywhere in the state. We serve adults across all of Washington by secure video, whether you are in a city, a suburb or a small town with no trauma-trained practice nearby. Because our clinicians are licensed in Washington, geography is not a barrier. EMDR by video is offered by the clinicians on our team who deliver it that way, and the same care is also available in person at our Seattle-area offices.

How soon can I start online trauma therapy?

First appointments are available the same week, not weeks out. Much of the trauma and EMDR market books four to six weeks ahead or is cash-pay only, which is a long time to wait when your body is already running on alert. Reach out and we will find the first secure-video opening that fits your schedule.

Online trauma therapy is not for emergencies. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911.
