ONLINE GRIEF THERAPY FOR ADULTS

The loss happened. What has happened inside your life since?

Grief may be obvious. It may also appear as anxiety, guilt, irritability, withdrawal, or replaying what happened. You do not need to know whether you are grieving correctly before scheduling.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Sometimes the loss is not the only thing making life difficult. It is also what the loss has come to mean.

You may be carrying the belief that you failed someone, should be further along, cannot trust yourself, or will not be able to handle what comes next.

We separate what happened from the conclusions that formed around it, without minimizing the loss or forcing it into a timeline.

THIS MAY LOOK LIKE

Start with the part you recognize.

“I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing or feeling.”

You wonder whether you are grieving too much, too little, or doing it wrong.

“I keep replaying what happened.”

Your mind returns to what you did, missed, or wish you had done differently, as though one more review could change the ending.

“Everyone else seems to have moved on.”

You do not want to burden people, and the support being offered does not fit what you actually need.

”I’m functioning. I’m just not the same.”

Life is moving, but something has changed in your sense of safety, identity, confidence, relationships, or future.

“I didn’t think this loss would affect me this much.”

A pet, pregnancy, breakup, estrangement, family illness, or future you expected to have. Now you are judging the size of your reaction too.

“I thought I was doing better. Why is this happening again”?

A wedding, pregnancy, birthday, promotion, anniversary, or family gathering can make an old absence newly present.

SOMETIMES GRIEF APPEARS AS SOMETHING ELSE

You may come in for the effect before you recognize the loss.

Anxiety after your sense of safety changed. Depression after death, separation, or illness. Control after something happened that could not be controlled. Relationship difficulty after the other people’s responses left you feeling alone. Burnout after organizing your life around someone else’s needs.

You do not have to arrive saying, “I need grief therapy.” We begin with what is affecting you now.

LOSSES OTHER PEOPLE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND

The support around you may not match what you lost.

Some losses receive immediate recognition. Others do not: a pet, a pregnancy, an ex-partner, an estranged or complicated relationship, someone who is still alive but no longer available in the same way, or a future that will not happen.

When other people minimize the loss, you may begin minimizing it yourself.

HOW WE WORK

We work with the grief without making every session about grief.

I may help you examine guilt or beliefs that keep pulling you back into the same story, make emotions less frightening, understanding how earlier relationships shape the way you experience loss, return to situations you have begun avoiding, or make decisions that reflect what matters to you now.

Sometimes the work is about the person or future you lost. Sometimes it is about who you were before the loss, who you became afterward, and who you want to be now.

Each session starts with what matters most today.

Distinguish the pain of the loss from the conclusion you have drawn about yourself.

Questions about this work.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

No. We can begin with the worry, avoidance, physical activation, or decision loop that is interfering with your life and assess it in context.
Skills can be useful, but the work is not limited to symptom management. We also examine why a particular uncertainty carries so much weight and what keeps the response in place.
Yes. A current decision can give us a precise place to begin while also showing us the pattern that makes it difficult.
