Online EMDR, IFS & Somatic Trauma Therapy in California
Deep trauma healing from wherever you are in California
You've done a lot of work to understand yourself. You can name your patterns, you know where they came from, and you've probably tried more than one therapist. But your body still braces. The shame still shows up. The exhaustion doesn't lift.
I'm “Jane” I-Chen Liu, a licensed professional clinical counselor in California (LPCC23457). I offer online EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing therapy to adults throughout California. Together we work with what's stored in your nervous system, not just what you can explain.
Who I work with
Many of my California clients are high-achievers, caretakers and deep feelers who look capable on the outside and feel heavy on the inside. I specialize in:
Childhood and developmental trauma (CPTSD)
Body image trauma and food shame
Toxic shame and a harsh inner critic
Navigating emotionally immature parents
How online EMDR works
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain finish processing memories that still feel stuck. Online, we use on-screen eye movements, tapping or audio tones instead of a light bar in an office. Research and clinical experience show online EMDR can be as effective as in-person sessions for many people.
We never jump straight into your hardest memories. First, we build safety and resources so your nervous system has an anchor. Then we move at a pace your body can handle.
Why I blend EMDR with IFS and somatic work
For complex trauma, EMDR on its own can feel too fast or get stuck. IFS helps us understand the protective parts of you that hold back, such as the perfectionist, the people-pleaser or the part that goes numb. Somatic Experiencing helps your body complete the stress responses it never got to finish.
Together, these approaches help you move beyond coping toward feeling safe, grounded and whole.

I see adults by secure video anywhere in California, including:

You need to be physically located in California during each session.
Online EMDR intensives for California clients
If weekly therapy feels too slow, an EMDR intensive offers focused, longer sessions of 3 to 12 hours. Many clients make meaningful shifts in days instead of months. California intensives are held fully online, so you can do this deep work from the privacy of your own home.

Individual session: $200 (60 minutes) or $300 (90 minutes)

You'll receive a Good Faith Estimate before treatment begins.
