How Online PCIT Works
You and your child play together while I observe quietly in the background and coach you through a small earbud. You'll set up a phone, tablet, or computer in a play area at home, and I'll guide you in real time as you interact with your child. I'll support you in using specific PCIT strategies; while also helping you fine-tune your tone, timing, and responses so they're most effective. It's hands-on, personalized, and designed to help you feel confident using these tools not just during sessions, but in everyday parenting moments where they matter most.
"But My Child Won't Engage Since It's Not In Person"
That's a common concern, and totally understandable. But in PCIT, you are the one working directly with your child. I'm here to support and coach you in using proven skills and techniques. This is one of the reasons PCIT is so powerful; your child learns to respond to you, not just the therapist. And that's what leads to lasting change at home, in school, and in everyday life. Many parents also notice that the tools they learn in PCIT naturally carry over to other children in the home, even if they're not in sessions. The same positive parenting strategies often help improve sibling dynamics and reduce stress across the board. To answer other common questions about PCIT, please click here.
"What If My Child Doesn't Misbehave During Online Sessions?"
It's very common for kids to be on their "best behavior" at first, and that's completely okay. Early sessions are all about building trust, strengthening your connection, and practicing tools that improve cooperation and emotional regulation. Even when things are going smoothly, you're learning how to prevent future challenges.
As your child gets more comfortable, real behaviors naturally start to show up and we shift our focus to coaching you through those moments. And if certain behaviors don't appear on their own, we can gently recreate situations that reflect your biggest challenges. That's one of the unique benefits of online PCIT, we're working right in your home, where many tough moments happen, so the support is practical and real-time.
