Frequently Asked Questions

I work with children, teens, and adults who want support with communication. While I specialize in stuttering therapy, I also provide speech therapy for children with articulation, speech sound, and language development needs.

Yes. In addition to stuttering therapy, I work with children who need support with speech sound development, articulation, and language skills. Therapy focuses on helping children communicate more clearly and confidently.

Online speech therapy takes place through secure video sessions. Children, teens, and adults meet with me one-on-one from home using a computer or tablet. Sessions are interactive, personalized, and designed to make communication practice feel natural and engaging.

Yes. Research shows that teletherapy is just as effective as in-person speech therapy. Many clients find that working from home actually makes it easier to practice real-life communication situations.

Yes. I offer a free 15–20 minute consultation so we can talk about your concerns, answer questions, and determine whether speech therapy would be a good fit.

Speech therapy services are private pay, and I do not bill insurance directly. Many families use education funding programs such as FES-UA to cover services. For clients using traditional insurance, I can provide documentation that may allow you to request out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider.

Yes. Emerald Coast Stuttering is an approved provider, and many families use FES-UA funding to support their child’s speech therapy services. If you have questions about reserving funds or using the EMA portal, I’m happy to help guide you through the process.

Yes. School-based speech therapy and private speech therapy often serve different purposes. School therapy focuses on supporting communication within the classroom environment, while private therapy allows for more individualized attention and flexible goals. Some families choose to continue both so their child can receive additional support.

Online speech therapy works best with a computer or tablet, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet space where you can focus during the session. For children, having a parent nearby can be helpful at times. I’ll guide you through everything you need before your first appointment.

Yes. Because sessions are online, I work with clients throughout Florida, including families in the Emerald Coast region such as Pensacola, Navarre, and Destin.
