When video sessions may be a good choice
Video sessions can be a first choice for clients who do not live in Stockholm, travel frequently for work, have mild cold symptoms and should avoid spreading infection, or who for other reasons prefer meeting online either occasionally or throughout the entire course of psychotherapy.
Research shows that psychotherapy delivered via video is just as effective as in‑person sessions. Here you can read more about the meta‑analysis supporting this. A meta‑analysis is a study that reviews and analyzes results from multiple previous studies.
Getting the most out of video psychotherapy
Although the core therapeutic components are equally effective online and in person, technology can sometimes create distractions. To reduce the risk of this, consider the following before your session:
- Choose a place where you feel relaxed and safe.
- Think about possible disturbances in your environment. Can you ensure privacy and avoid interruptions during the session?
- Check your internet connection and decide which device works best for you — computer, tablet, or phone. Choose the option that helps you stay focused. In some exercises you may close your eyes, so it can be helpful to use a device you can place down.
- Review your notification settings and turn off alerts during the session.
- Seeing yourself on screen can be distracting. You can hide your self‑view or simply place a small post‑it note over that part of the screen.
Apply for psychotherapy
You cannot book appointments yourself. Instead, you submit an application by clicking the button below. Once I have received your application, you will be added to my system (CTnotes) and placed on a waiting list. I will then contact you for an assessment session or to provide information about the current waiting time.
If you prefer to call or email me first with questions — or to submit your application that way — that is also perfectly fine.
Three simple steps to get started
1. Registration When I register you as a client in my clinical record and appointment system (CTnotes), you will receive an email with a verification link. Please log in within 7 days using BankID. If you do not have BankID, you can log in with a password. You will be registered as an English‑speaking client.
2. Booking When we schedule an appointment, you will receive a booking confirmation by email, followed by reminders via text message.
3. Joining the video call When it is time for our session, log in to CTnotes. At the start time, a button with a video icon will appear (“Connect to video call”). Clicking it will take you to my digital waiting room. Zoom will open automatically — you do not need your own Zoom account.
Video sessions via Zoom
I use Zoom integrated within CTnotes. This setup meets the security requirements for healthcare video calls, ensuring that no unauthorized person can access our session or your data. Zoom is HIPAA‑compliant, meaning it follows the U.S. standard for protecting sensitive health information (HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). If you prefer another equally secure solution, I am flexible.
If you already have the Zoom app installed, please make sure it is updated before the session.
