Online therapy
Your life is full. Your healing shouldn't have to wait.
Online therapy provides a flexible, effective path to meaningful mental health support. No commute. No waiting room. No need to rearrange your entire schedule. At Schuster Counseling Group, our team of specialized therapists delivers the same depth of clinical care through secure video sessions that you'd receive in person. Whether you're navigating trauma, managing anxiety, adjusting to life after bariatric surgery, or struggling through postpartum fog, you deserve access to real support that fits your real life.
Online therapy at our group practice isn't a watered-down version of traditional counseling. Our therapists are trained in EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches. We serve adults and teens across Oklahoma and Texas, with particular focus on clients in Stillwater, OK and Southlake, TX seeking more than generic talk therapy.
Who online therapy is right for
Virtual sessions work exceptionally well for many of the clients we serve.
Busy professionals and high achievers benefit from connecting during lunch breaks or after the kids are in bed. No commute, no explanations needed. If you're high-functioning on the outside but running on fumes internally, online therapy makes it possible to address chronic stress, perfectionism, and burnout without adding more pressure to an overloaded schedule.
Parents and perinatal clients rarely have free time. Our PMH-C certified therapists specialize in perinatal mental health and understand postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, and identity shifts at a clinical level. Online therapy lets you access that support from your nursery, bedroom, or parked car during naptime.
Trauma survivors often find that healing feels safer from their own space. Our therapists are trained in EMDR, IFS-informed approaches, and somatic techniques to help you move beyond coping toward genuine healing. This applies whether you're processing something from decades ago or more recently.
Bariatric and health journey clients need emotional support that goes beyond the medical handbook. We offer specialized bariatric care, including pre-surgical evaluations and ongoing support, accessible through online sessions that fit around your medical appointments.
People in areas with limited options no longer need to settle. If trauma-informed, EMDR-trained, or perinatal-specialized therapists are scarce in your area, online therapy expands what's possible.
What to expect
Getting started is straightforward. You can begin with a free 15-minute consultation to ensure fit, then complete onboarding through Sessions Health. Paperwork, consents, and scheduling are handled in one place. Most clients choose their therapist after reviewing our profiles, but we're happy to help match you based on your needs.
Your first session focuses on your story: what's working, what isn't, and what you want from therapy. We'll clarify goals and map out a treatment approach. If EMDR or intensive therapy interests you, we'll discuss readiness and what the process involves.
Ongoing care adapts to you. Sessions typically happen weekly, though we offer EMDR Intensives for clients wanting accelerated progress or who can't commit to traditional weekly schedules. Treatment draws from EMDR, IFS-informed techniques, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, and attachment-based frameworks. Everything is personalized to your needs. Homework is optional and flexible. Your therapist stays responsive, engaged, and invested as your goals evolve.
What we treat through online therapy
Our group practice addresses a wide range of concerns virtually, including anxiety, depression, trauma (acute and complex), PTSD, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal mental health concerns, chronic stress, burnout, emotional dysregulation, self-worth issues, grief, major life transitions, family stress, relationship difficulties, and pre- and post-bariatric emotional challenges.
Simple and secure technology
You need only a private space, stable internet, and a device with camera and microphone. We use a HIPAA-compliant platform that's intuitive and protected. If technical issues arise, we troubleshoot together so technology stays in the background where it belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Therapy
-
The timeline varies based on what you're processing. Some clients notice shifts after a few sessions, particularly with single-incident trauma. Complex trauma may require more time. Your therapist will give you realistic expectations during initial sessions.
-
Yes. Anxiety often connects to earlier experiences we don't immediately recognize as formative. EMDR can identify and process these underlying contributors even without obvious traumatic origins.
-
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
-
No. During reprocessing, you can keep much of the content internal. You share only what feels necessary, making EMDR ideal for those who find detailed recounting retraumatizing.
-
EMDR helps process memories you're aware of. You might make connections to related experiences, but it isn't designed to uncover "hidden" memories.
-
Your therapist teaches grounding techniques during preparation and monitors your distress throughout. You're always in control and can stop anytime.
-
Absolutely. Memories stored dysfunctionally 30 years ago can still be reprocessed today. Distance from original events doesn't diminish effectiveness.
-
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation and focuses on how memories are stored rather than building insight through verbal processing. It works more directly with the nervous system.
-
Yes. Research supports virtual EMDR's effectiveness. Our therapists are experienced in telehealth delivery and will help determine what format works best for you.
-
Processing continues naturally between sessions. Your therapist may suggest journaling or grounding techniques, but formal homework isn't typically required.
