Online Therapy for Clients Who Live Internationally

You’ve always dreamed of this moment. You’re living abroad and exploring a brand new place with its own history and cultural, meeting new people and having satisfying experiences. So, why do you feel so lonely, sad, confused, or frustrated? Even if you’ve planned to live internationally for many years, the reality may not be exactly what you expected, and even if it is everything you hoped for, there are many challenges associated with a big change like living in a new and different place. At Lakeside Counseling, we know the many challenges associated with international living, and we can help you explore concerns that arise and truly enjoy your experience living abroad. We recognize that it can be difficult to find an English-speaking therapist who you can connect with when living internationally, and we are happy to fill that need by offering online therapy for clients who live internationally. You can learn more on this page or by getting in touch with our team to schedule a consultation.

Why Would Expats Benefit from Therapy? 

Our team of skilled therapists are dedicated to supporting our clients both near and far. Many of our clinicians have lived abroad themselves, and they understand that fun and adventure isn’t all there is to living internationally. We welcome individuals, couples, and families who are living internationally to schedule regular therapy sessions. We frequently offer therapy for employees of governments, NGOs, and corporations as well as teachers and students at international schools. 

You know that old saying, wherever you go there you are? Turns out that’s true of living internationally. While a change of scene is a great solution for many of life’s challenges, it won’t make all of your worries disappear. If you’re living abroad while dealing with things like anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma without your usual routines, comforts, and support networks, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed pretty quickly. Far from home and without your usual coping methods, you may flounder to find a solution. Luckily, our team of therapists are here to help. In addition to providing necessary support to help people dealing with these common concerns, we also offer therapy for expats who are struggling with concerns related specifically to living abroad, including: 

• Cultural displacement

• Missing home and family (homesickness) 

• Feeling lonely and isolated

• Supporting third culture kids or trailing spouses
