Virtual Counseling & Therapy Services

Online Mental Health Support With a Board-Certified PMHNP

Virtual Counseling Provided by a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)

At Valiant Mental Health, virtual counseling and therapy services are provided by a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Our approach integrates clinical counseling, psychiatric assessment, and medication management when appropriate — all delivered through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.

As a PMHNP, I am trained and licensed to provide psychotherapeutic interventions, clinical counseling, and psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults, in accordance with state and federal regulations in the states where I am licensed.

Virtual counseling is available to patients located in:
Washington, Idaho, Hawaii, Alaska, Nevada, and Arizona.

What Is Virtual Counseling & Therapy?

Virtual counseling goes by other names. Patients call it online therapy. Professionals use telehealth counseling. Secure video appointments deliver structured mental health support.

Sessions target key areas. Providers understand symptoms. Patients develop coping strategies. Emotional regulation improves. Overall mental wellness gains support.

At Valiant Mental Health, counseling is medical and clinically grounded, not coaching or self-help advice. Sessions are guided by psychiatric training, diagnostic evaluation, and evidence-based treatment principles.

Virtual counseling may be used:

• As a stand-alone service

• In combination with medication management

• For short-term symptom support or ongoing care

Scope of Counseling Provided by a PMHNP

As a PMHNP, counseling services fall within a psychiatric and medical framework. This means therapy is focused on:

• Symptom assessment and monitoring

• Psychoeducation

• Behavioral and cognitive strategies

• Emotional regulation skills

• Support for psychiatric conditions

• Treatment planning and coordination

This scope is permitted across Washington, Idaho, Hawaii, Alaska, Nevada, and Arizona when provided by a licensed PMHNP and delivered via telehealth.

Therapy services are provided within the legal scope of PMHNP practice and do not replace specialized psychotherapy when higher-intensity or long-term therapy is clinically indicated.

Conditions Supported Through Virtual Counseling

Virtual counseling services may support individuals experiencing:

• Anxiety & Panic Disorders
• Depression & Mood Disorders
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Bipolar Disorder
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Adjustment Disorders & Life Stress
• Child & Adolescent Behavioral Concerns

Treatment is individualized and based on clinical evaluation. If a condition requires a different level of care or specialty service, appropriate referrals are provided.

Integrated Counseling & Medication Management

Because services are provided by a PMHNP, virtual counseling can be closely integrated with medication management when appropriate.

This allows for:

• Real-time assessment of symptom response

• Medication education and monitoring

• Adjustments based on therapy progress

• Coordinated psychiatric care

Not all patients require medication. Counseling-only care is available when clinically appropriate and within state regulations.
