My name is Tolana Murphy. A Deeper Knowing is my private practice. I am licensed and practice in Arizona, Ohio, and Kentucky. I come from a family background where emotional needs were not supported and psychiatric concerns were not discussed outside of a confessional. I chose to work with the elderly early on, because they were such great storytellers and usually very raw in sharing emotional and physical pain. People need to know that it is safe and okay to not only talk about both types of pain, but also to be supported and provided with tools that assist them in having their needs met.

I have found that people are the most successful in their counseling journey when they are ready to work on what brings them in. While individuals may not be able to identify their specific goals, they are motivated for a change to occur. Motivation is what propels each person throughout the counseling process to achieve the goals that are established together.

Fun Fact! Did you know that if you look in the mirror and say the phrase “I’m struggling with my mental health” three times, a person in a Live, Laugh, Love sweatshirt appears behind you and asks if you have tried taking a walk? Unfortunately, this is how many people respond to mental health struggles. Themes such as grief, anxiety, and depression can affect our lives in a way that require a professional level of compassion, understanding, and empowerment. It is my mission to provide every person with the ability to navigate life’s challenges with efficacy and confidence.

Online Therapists

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
