Stellar Insight Counseling Online Therapy Appointments | Alaska

Telehealth appointments can be beneficial if traditional in-person appointments are not convenient or preferable.

Hello! 

My name is Nicole Zegiestowsky, M.S. and I'm a pre-licensed online therapist in Alaska. 

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Alaska, Anchorage and have been providing counseling services in Alaska since 2019. 

I provide telehealth individual and group psychotherapy counseling services from a private office using a HIPAA compliant platform, TherapyNotes.

Our sessions will be secure and confidential (my HIPAA compliant pets may be near by).

You are encouraged to show up to sessions however you feel the most comfortable: wear what you want,  don't turn on the camera if you aren't feeling it, use curse words if you got 'em, or use the support of your pets to help during difficult sessions.

My practice supports adult Alaskans who are struggling with managing symptoms of ADHD/Autism, anxiety, depression, PTSD or trauma, and the mental health impacts from chronic illness. 

I often work with LGBTQ2IA+ adults and perinatal/postpartum men and women.

Whether we have online therapy sessions from your favorite couch, the kitchen table, in between work, or picking up the kids, telehealth is a convenient way to prioritize your well-being and connect with a mental health professional. 

Email, call, or text me today to schedule a free 20-minute initial consultation to see if we are good fit.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Virtual Mental Healthcare

Bridging the Gap

I have been providing online therapy services since the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was a major transition from "typical" in-person counseling sessions.

The National Center for Health Workforce Analysis, which provides health workforce data and projections on supply and demand for healthcare workers in the United States, projects a continued shortage of counselors, psychologists, social workers, and therapists through 2036. 

The U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) reported in December 2023 that nearly 170 million people in the U.S. (about 50% of the population) live in a Mental Health Professional Shortage Area, which disproportionally impacts rural communities and states like Alaska.

Virtual counseling appointments were normalized in 2020 and will continue to be a valuable resource that connects people to mental healthcare providers.
