Online psychologist by video call
Online psychologist: therapy by video call
The same therapy, without the commute or the waiting room. As an online psychologist, I support you by video call wherever you are, with the same closeness, confidentiality and effectiveness as in the practice. All you need is a phone or a computer and a quiet moment.
Do you recognise this?
Is online therapy for you?
Online therapy isn't a "plan B": for most people it's just as effective as in person. It fits especially well if you recognise yourself in any of this:
- You have little time and the commute complicates everything.
- You live outside Toledo, in another city or abroad.
- You travel often or your schedule changes every week.
- You feel more comfortable opening up from your own space.
- You want a psychologist who speaks your language while you're far from home.
- Mobility, caring for others or your health make it hard to go out.
If this sounds like you, online therapy can give you the support you need with maximum flexibility.
How it works
What an online session is like
By secure video call
We meet by video call on an encrypted, confidential platform. There's nothing complicated to install: I send you a link and you connect at the agreed time.
From wherever you are
All you need is a phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a good connection and a quiet place where no one will interrupt you during the session.
With the same closeness
The therapeutic relationship is built just as it is in person. You speak directly with me, with no middlemen, with the same listening and the same commitment.
Flexible and convenient
You choose the time that suits you best and save the commute. That time and energy go into you instead.

Common questions about online therapy
Does online therapy work as well as in person?
Yes. The scientific evidence shows that, for most people and most problems, online therapy is just as effective as in person. What heals is the therapeutic relationship and the work, and both hold up perfectly well over video call.
What do I need for online sessions?
Very little: a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, a stable connection and a quiet, private place where no one will interrupt you. I send you a link and you connect; there's nothing complicated to install.
Is it safe and confidential?
Yes. Sessions take place on an encrypted video-call platform, and as a licensed psychologist I'm bound by professional secrecy. What you share with me is strictly confidential, exactly as in the practice.
Where can I do online therapy from?
From anywhere in Spain or abroad, as long as you have a connection. It's a very convenient option if you live outside Toledo, travel often or have moved and want to continue with the same psychologist.
Are there cases where in-person therapy is better?
In some situations (for example, certain serious crises or when more intensive intervention is needed) in-person work or coordination with other professionals may be preferable. In the first session we assess this honestly and I guide you.
How much does a session cost?
You can check the current fees for the individual session and the first orientation session on the fees page (in Spanish).
