Dr. Terence “Terry” Rooney is a licensed clinical psychologist in California with 40 years of clinical experience.

He enjoys meeting new people, supporting those who seek self-knowledge and personal growth, and is comfortable working with individuals at many different points in their journey.

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, evidence supports that remote therapy is comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can choose the format that suits them best, including video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to include therapy in a busy schedule.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they feel a different match would work better. Online therapy offers a practical, adaptable option for many people seeking support.
