I enjoy working with older adults because of the wisdom, life experiences, and unique perspectives they bring to conversations. They often have fascinating stories to share, and I appreciate the opportunity to learn from their experiences. I also value the sense of connection and mutual respect that can develop when engaging with older adults.

As a therapist working with older adults, some of the most rewarding aspects include:

Deep Life Perspectives – Older adults bring a wealth of life experience, resilience, and insight into therapy. Their stories and reflections often provide a rich foundation for meaningful discussions.

Helping with Transitions – Many older adults face major life changes, such as retirement, loss of loved ones, health challenges, or shifting identities. Supporting them in navigating these transitions can be deeply fulfilling.

Addressing Loneliness & Isolation – Many older adults struggle with social isolation. Therapy provides a space where they feel heard, valued, and connected, which can be incredibly impactful.

Working Through Unresolved Issues – Later life often brings reflections on past regrets, unresolved trauma, or relationship challenges. Assisting them in finding healing, acceptance, and peace is a powerful part of therapy.

Promoting Mental Wellness & Resilience – Many older adults develop a profound sense of resilience. Helping them recognize their strengths, maintain a positive outlook, and engage in fulfilling activities is rewarding.

Legacy & Meaning-Making – Therapy often involves helping older adults find meaning in their lives, whether through storytelling, relationships, or contributions to others. Facilitating this process can be incredibly enriching.

Online therapy can be highly effective for older adults for several reasons:

1. Accessibility & Convenience
Many older adults face mobility challenges, chronic health conditions, or transportation difficulties that make in-person therapy hard to attend. Online therapy allows them to receive support from the comfort of their home.

2. Reducing Social Isolation
Older adults experiencing loneliness or social isolation can benefit from the connection and engagement that online therapy provides. Regular virtual sessions help them feel heard, supported, and less alone.

3. Comfort & Familiarity
Some older adults feel more comfortable discussing personal issues from a familiar setting rather than an unfamiliar office. Being at home may help them feel more relaxed and open in therapy.

4. Increased Options & Specialist Access
Online therapy allows older adults to connect with therapists who specialize in aging, grief, chronic illness, or life transitions—expertise that may not be readily available in their local area.

5. Lower Stigma & Privacy
Some older adults may feel stigma around seeking mental health support. Online therapy provides a discreet and private way to engage in treatment without worrying about being seen entering a clinic.

My approach to therapy sessions, particularly with older adults, is client-centered, compassionate, and adaptable to their unique needs.

Therapy works best when you’re open about your thoughts, feelings, and struggles. You don’t have to share everything right away, but honesty will help your therapist support you more effectively.
