Seniors have AMAZING stories. So many of my clients have survived harrowing experiences &/or been instrumental in founding an important organization or helping process; or on the cutting edge of an emerging profession. Often, when I’m working w/ them, they are teaching me. As a grandmother & someone in my mid-fifties, listening to my clients has provided vital reminders for the next phase of my life.

Online therapy helps seniors for some of the same reasons, it is useful for younger adults: convenience, access, reduced stigma, reduced barriers, etc. Additionally, for some, disabled seniors, the therapist is one of few who may be in contact w/ the senior on a regular basis. The online provider is able to gain access to the senior & make assessments regarding their overall health/wellbeing (in some cases) & make valuable connections, referrals, case management support, etc.

Often, when working w/ families, providers will also have the opportunity to learn about & provide services to seniors. That is how I began to get more interested in working w/ seniors.

The basis of my approach is respect, collaboration & humility. No matter what method or model I employ, it must be undergirded by the understanding that people (especially seniors) are the experts on themselves. They know what they want, what they are likely to do & they know what has NOT been effective w/ them in the past.
