Online therapy services provide individuals who are seeking mental health treatment with the option to address their mental health concerns from the comfort of their own home. Online therapy sessions may be easier to fit into a busy schedule, skipping the time spent commuting or in a waiting room. Additionally, virtual therapy can make licensed therapists more accessible to a greater number of people, across providers. While a great number of individuals still prefer in-person sessions, online therapy sessions can be just as fruitful and effective, and recent stats show that 86% of teletherapy users report satisfaction with their experiences.1
While virtual therapy may have some limitations–for example, EMDR is a particularly difficult type of therapy to engage in virtually with a licensed therapist–it has its advantages. Virtual therapy can still maintain and create a strong therapeutic relationship, and so long as an individual has privacy, there’s a level of safety and comfort in engaging in online therapy sessions. Adolescents with limited transit options or adults with busy schedules may find that virtual counseling is preferable, especially when utilizing CBT or DBT strategies. If you’re in the Tustin, Irvine, or Newport Beach area, in-person therapy may be available to you. However, virtual therapy is also offered with AMFM Mental Health Treatment.
Whether you prefer in-person therapy face-to-face or virtual counseling, AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers outpatient programming for mental health. AMFM Mental Health Treatment has over a decade of providing people with access to licensed therapists, addressing specific needs, and fostering healthy therapeutic relationships for lasting wellness. If you’re looking to make some life changes, and want to know more about how virtual therapy can help you live with your mental illness, call our friendly and compassionate admissions team today.

AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers a combination of holistic mental health services and evidence-based therapies like the following:
Individual therapy takes place in a one on one setting with a licensed professional, usually consisting of a combination of dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies, in which a person can talk through his or her individual struggles. Individual therapy and mental health care is one of the most crucial steps for those facing mental health challenges.
Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds. These groups can happen virtually, introducing you to peers from the comfort of your home.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes2. Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment provides comprehensive psychiatric care, along with traditional therapeutic modalities. In combination with psychotherapy, psychiatric care is handled safely, to help you or your loved one overcome mental health challenges.
Family therapy may be used when a loved one’s mental health symptoms are affecting others. This can increase a family members’ understanding of anxiety and talk about how to support each other. Family therapy sessions or couples therapy sessions can improve communication patterns, focus on problem-solving, address unresolved conflicts, and increase the sense of understanding among one another.
Holistic Therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection, approaching the whole person when it comes to mental health treatment, rather than addressing a singular symptom or challenge at a time. By healing the whole person–encouraging balance and well-being for well-rounded growth, holistic therapy can build health habits that last a lifetime.
Psychodynamic Therapy is a method of talk therapy developed by Sigmund Freud, which analyzes instances in childhood that may have consciously or unconsciously influenced current attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy can help a licensed clinician or therapist gain insight into formative moments that may be informing a person’s learned trauma responses.

Mental health therapy is a component of treatment programs that includes structured interventions focused on addressing emotional, behavioral, and psychological symptoms. Therapy options are available at varying levels of care, to accommodate the range of symptom severity commonly seen with behavioral disorders. Psychotherapy can help you develop the coping skills you need to effectively cope with and manage your symptoms.
Therapy is available in individual settings, group settings, and support groups. Each of these has its advantages and uses. Common therapeutic approaches used in therapy sessions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
For some, therapy can be most impactful when it is supplemented with psychiatric care and medication management services. If you’d like to connect with us or access a crisis lifeline, call us today.
According to the CDC, from 2019 to 2023, the percentage of adults who had received any mental health treatment during the past 12 months increased from 19.2% to 23.9%. This pattern was similar among adults aged 18–44 and 45–64 years.3 Women are more likely than men to seek mental health treatment and in 2022, about 30.0 million adults received mental health treatment in the past year, according to data from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH).4
Research highlights that various therapeutic approaches are effective in treating different mental health conditions, and long-term therapy often leads to better outcomes compared to short-term options.5

Therapist is a general term that can be used to describe several mental health professionals. Psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and social workers can each provide online therapy and counseling services. There are notable differences in their educational backgrounds, clinical experiences, and other qualifications that differentiate them. Psychologists hold either a PhD or a PsyD in psychology and are trained to use psychological and mental health assessments. With in-depth knowledge of assessments and mental health disorders, they can provide diagnosis services and counseling services.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can provide mental health assessments and diagnostic tools to reach a clinical diagnosis. Psychiatrists can provide psychiatric medication services, something that the other professionals we mentioned are not qualified to do. It is common for psychiatrists to work in a multidisciplinary team at therapy and counseling practices with psychologists, counselors, and social workers, and they can also be available via telehealth options.
Social workers can pursue additional education and training experiences and become Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs). These professionals can offer online therapy and online counseling services, as well as help you connect with mental health services within your community. You can learn more about the AMFM Mental Health Treatment Clinical Team by calling us.
Mental health disorders are conditions that affect your mood, thinking, and behaviors. These conditions are individualized, and have variations in their intensity and impairment they have on your functioning. These conditions are outlined in the DMS-5, a resource used to identify and diagnose mental health conditions. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers programming for a variety of mental health challenges and mental health disorders, including but not limited to the following:
Mental health conditions affect approximately one in five adults in the United States. The cause of these conditions is influenced by several factors including genetics, environmental factors, biological characteristics, and psychological factors. These conditions can be chronic, but they are often manageable with psychiatric care and counseling services. Mental health disorders often impact those around you, which is why early intervention is so important. If you have been struggling with mood swings or your overall psychological well-being, we encourage you to contact A Mission For Michael (AMFM) for a confidential and free assessment. Our admission counselors can help you understand which mental health treatment options would be a good fit for you.
