Online levels of care
Outpatient online therapy and intensive online IOP
Online outpatient therapy offers one to three weekly sessions. Online IOP adds nine to twelve clinical hours when teens need more than weekly video therapy.
Level of care
Outpatient therapy
1–3 sessions weekly for teens who need ongoing support without intensive structure.
Level of care
IOP
9–12 clinical hours weekly — our most common starting point when symptoms are escalating.
Level of care
Virtual IOP
Same clinical intensity, purpose-built telehealth workflow for families across California.
Level of care
Residential / inpatient
When 24/7 monitoring is required, we refer to trusted partners and plan step-down care.

What families ask
- Most families start with one to two sessions weekly and adjust as symptoms improve.
- The same clinician follows your teen for continuity — not a rotating schedule.
- Step-down from IOP often means fewer groups and more individual focus.
Schedules adjust as teens step down or need more support.
Why online therapy works
Secure virtual care designed for teens
Safety-first telehealth
Privacy planning and crisis protocols for online adolescent care.
Better attendance
No commute means fewer missed sessions versus in-person-only models.
Family online sessions
Parents participate without taking time off for clinic drives.
Clinical depth
IOP option when online weekly therapy isn't enough.
Fit for online care
Teens who can engage safely in online therapy
Online therapy fits many California teens when home privacy, technology, and safety support are in place.
Often a good fit for IOP
Families prioritizing virtual access and flexible scheduling
Teens comfortable with video after setup support
Parents who can help maintain privacy and safety at home
Adolescents needing IOP or OP — not only single weekly sessions
Not the right level
Crises requiring immediate in-person intervention — call 911 or 988
Teens unable to engage on video even with support
Situations where home is not a safe place for confidential therapy
Online program vs app-based therapy
Clinical online therapy vs unstructured telehealth
Licensed clinician-led programs with family involvement differ from generic app-based or async chat therapy.
