Online Therapy — Private Psychotherapy for Individuals

Hendrina Sterling Rodríguez is a trauma-informed psychotherapeutic counsellor offering private, online-only therapy for individuals in English and Spanish. She works with adults navigating anxiety, depression and low mood, grief and loss, trauma-related distress, burnout, ADHD-related emotional challenges, confidence difficulties, and major life transitions. Sessions are private-pay, held entirely online, and available to English- and Spanish-speaking clients. Online services are offered subject to professional, ethical and jurisdictional suitability.

Who this is for

Adults who want a direct, structured, emotionally attuned space to work through anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma-related distress, burnout or a major life transition — entirely online, in English or Spanish. This includes people who have never had therapy before, and people returning to therapy after a break.

Areas of support

  • Anxiety therapy online
  • Depression and low mood
  • Grief counselling online
  • Trauma-related distress
  • Burnout and chronic overwhelm
  • ADHD-informed emotional and relational support
  • Confidence and self-esteem difficulties
  • Major life transitions (career change, relocation, bereavement, relationship breakdown)
  • LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities

Support is offered as emotional and relational work, not diagnosis or treatment of a specific medical condition. If you are receiving medical or psychiatric care elsewhere, therapy can sit alongside it.

A trauma-informed online therapist

Hendrina is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level II). Trauma-informed practice means sessions move at a pace that feels safe, choices stay with the client, and reactions and patterns are approached as understandable adaptations rather than flaws. This applies whether or not a client identifies their experience as “trauma.”

Bilingual therapy: English and Spanish

Hendrina is bilingual and offers individual therapy fully in English or fully in Spanish. If you would prefer to work in Spanish, visit the Spanish-language therapy pages below.

How sessions work

Therapy begins with an initial conversation to understand what you’re navigating and whether the fit feels right on both sides. Sessions are then held on a regular, private, online basis. Fees are discussed and confirmed during the initial conversation; sessions are private-pay and insurance is not accepted.

Service boundaries

  • Sessions are online only and private-pay; insurance is not accepted.
  • This is not emergency or crisis care — if you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line.
  • Suitability for therapy is assessed individually during an initial conversation.
  • Online services are offered subject to professional, ethical and jurisdictional suitability.
