Online EMDR Therapy in Sacramento
As long as we are engaged in storytelling that moves the culture forward, it doesn’t matter what format it is.
-LeVar Burton
Healing for People Who Hold Things Together for Others
Sacramento runs on public service. If you work in a state agency, a county or city office, a school, a courtroom, or a health or social service program, you may spend your days being the steady one, absorbing other people's urgency and distress while carrying decisions that affect real lives. Over time that can show up as exhaustion, irritability, numbness, trouble sleeping, or feeling on alert even when you're off the clock. Sometimes it connects to older experiences, too. Either way, you deserve a place to set it down.
I'm Jessica Mariglio, a licensed marriage and family therapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner. I offer online therapy to adults in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, Natomas, and across California.
Privacy That Takes Your Work Seriously
If your job puts you in a visible or sensitive role, it makes sense to be careful about who knows what. My practice is independent and private, and I don't work with employers or agencies. What you share stays between us, within the limits of the law. Because sessions are online, you can meet from home or any quiet space you choose, away from your workplace and your colleagues.
Sessions That Fit a Workday
There's no drive downtown, no parking, and no trip across the valley in summer heat just to sit in a waiting room. Online therapy makes it easier to protect your time, even in a demanding season.
How I Help
I work with adults healing from trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences, whether those come from work, childhood, or both. Our work may include EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and mindfulness-based therapy, and we'll choose what fits you. The free 15-minute conversation is a chance to ask questions and see how it feels to talk with me. If I'm not the right fit, I'll help you find someone who is.
Fees and Insurance
My fee is $250 per session, with a limited number of sliding-scale spots. I'm out of network and provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Check your plan's out-of-network benefits first, and keep in mind that a superbill includes a diagnosis code, so it's worth knowing what your insurer will see.
A Few Questions
Can EMDR help with the effects of my work?
It can be a good fit for stress and trauma that have built up over time, including from difficult work experiences. We'd talk about what you've been carrying and decide together whether EMDR makes sense.
Can EMDR really be done online?
Yes, and many people prefer it. I wrote about what the research says here.
Do you have an office in Sacramento?
No. All sessions are online by secure video, and you need to be physically in California during the session.
