Stephen Geller Katz, LCSW-R, with over 20 years of clinical experience, a New York University graduate, developed Misophonia Cognitive Retraining Therapy and founded Misophonia Cognitive Center™ in response to the growing number of people with Misophonia coming to his private practice from audiologists and ENTs.

Online Therapy for Misophonia: Accessing Treatment from Anywhere
Let’s explore the benefits of online therapy for misophonia and how it can help you manage your condition. Misophonia, characterized by extreme emotional reactions to specific sounds, can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Fortunately, with the advancement of technology, online sessions have become an accessible and effective way to receive misophonia treatment from virtually anywhere.
The Advantages of Online Therapy
Online therapy, also known as teletherapy or telehealth, offers several advantages for individuals seeking misophonia treatment:
1. Accessibility
Online therapy eliminates geographical barriers, allowing you to access specialized misophonia treatment regardless of your location. Whether you live in a rural area or a bustling city, you can connect with a qualified therapist.
2. Convenience
One of the most significant benefits of online therapy is its convenience. You can schedule sessions that fit your lifestyle, whether it’s during a lunch break at work, in the comfort of your home, or while traveling.
3. Increased Privacy
Online therapy provides a level of privacy that in-person sessions may not offer. You can choose a quiet and comfortable space where you feel safe discussing your misophonia symptoms.
4. Reduced Stigma
For some individuals, seeking treatment for misophonia may be accompanied by feelings of embarrassment or shame. Online therapy can reduce the perceived stigma, making it easier to reach out for help.
5. Comprehensive Treatment
Many misophonia specialists offer comprehensive treatment plans online, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. These evidence-based approaches can help you manage misophonia symptoms effectively.
How Online Therapy Works for Misophonia
Online therapy sessions for misophonia are conducted through secure video conferencing platforms. Here’s how the process typically works:
1. Scheduling
You schedule an appointment with a qualified misophonia therapist who offers online sessions. It’s essential to choose a therapist experienced in treating misophonia.
2. Secure Connection
At the scheduled time, you log in to the secure video conferencing platform provided by your therapist. The connection is encrypted to protect your privacy.
3. Therapy Session
The therapy session proceeds much like an in-person session. You discuss your misophonia symptoms, triggers, and emotional responses with your therapist.
4. Treatment Planning
Based on your individual needs, the therapist develops a customized treatment plan that may include CBT, exposure therapy, and other therapeutic approaches.
5. Ongoing Support
You continue to attend online therapy sessions at regular intervals, working with your therapist to implement coping strategies and monitor your progress.
