Dr. Lindsay Bira offers evidence-based telehealth VIDEO therapy to clients in Florida and Texas, and coaching to clients across the globe. She sees adults, teens, and some children.

Immediate openings available starting October 2022.
Dr. Bira offers short-term cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), third-wave CBT (acceptance-based), and other gold-standard approaches to quickly and effectively target issues and meet the unique needs of each client.

The details

Telehealth / Video

Dr. Bira has delivered video therapy by choice since 2014 as it is convenient and effective. She uses HIPAA-compliant, secure, video meeting technology that is accessible from desktops and all smart devices. No software download needed—just click and join from the privacy and comfort of your own space. Research has demonstrated that video sessions are equally as effective as in-person sessions, and often even more so, as they’re much easier to attend.

VIrtual reality (VR)  

Dr. Bira collaborates with a top-tier VR technology company to integrate VR exposure therapy for clients with anxiety and fears to many situations. Each client is sent a headset they can keep. VR exposure has been shown to be just as effective as in-person exposure, and often more so, as it can be done anytime, anywhere.

NO Insurance

By choice, and as a specialized, doctoral-level provider, Dr. Bira operates as a private-pay, out-of-network behavioral health provider, meaning that insurance can’t be taken upfront (click HERE to read about why and what to do instead). However, Dr. Bira does accept Health Savings and Flex Spending Plan payment, and out-of-network insurance reimbursement may be possible (Dr. Bira is happy to help you submit this request).

Therapy Testimonials

“Since attending therapy with Dr. Bira, I have made SOO much progress. Doing things I haven’t done in such a long time, smiling more, loving myself and others more, and purely finding the joy I thought I had lost in life. The anxiety sensations are becoming just a mere part of my day, less noticeable as time goes on, and overall I am feeling more and more like a better version of myself pre-anxiety.”

“She is so skilled and passionate about helping her clients. Our therapy sessions are non biased, hands on, informative and fun! Yes, I said FUN. We laugh often and spend time ironing out the kinks (issues) while doing so. She is very specific, and I truly feel she cares about me and my well being. I know she feels this way about all of her clients which makes her such an awesomely unique therapist.”

“Dr. Bira is hands down, AWESOME! I started out a little while ago, as I am completely new to therapy as an adult. Each session is so fulfilling, and I know that even after I complete my therapy plan (which is almost over), I will return as often as I can for a check in session. Dr. Bira has been such a blessing to my life. Dealing with generalized anxiety, health anxiety, and it’s many forms of tormenting sensations, I know first hand that it is not easy for anyone. To an extent, it almost seems debilitating and you find yourself at some of the weakest points you’ve ever experienced in life, constantly worried, and wondering if you’ll ever get well or back to normal. I started out thinking the worst, but Dr. Bira has truly made every bit of this journey worthwhile.”

"Dr. Bira has been the most qualified mental health professional I’ve ever worked with. After searching for a good therapist for years, I was ready to give up on counseling in general. I was referred to Dr. Bira and decided to try therapy one last time and I’m so glad I did. Not only are the sessions informative, but she also provided handouts for me to be able to practice the skills throughout the week, making the sessions very practical. She is friendly and inviting and makes sharing difficult things as easy as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Bira to anyone needing a mental health professional!"

"Dr. Bira - You have played a crucial role in my recovery. Thank you so much for all your help and everlasting compassion."

"I started seeing Dr. Lindsay Bira for PTSD Therapy after returning from Afghanistan in June 2018 ... I have had nothing but positive experiences with her during my sessions."

"I’m 2 sessions in and I have seen such an improvement in myself through her coaching and wonderful techniques. She is amazing and look forward to continue to work with her. She is awesome! So grateful I found her! Will definitely recommend!"
