A licensed psychologist sees Nebraska clients by confidential video, so care does not depend on how near you live to a city.
Currently accepting new clients
Request a Nebraska appointmentMuch of Nebraska sits a long way from a psychologist's consulting room. There are towns where the nearest practice is a two-hour drive, and a two-hour drive is not a trip most people repeat weekly for three months. Secure video visits change that arithmetic. We are Psychotherapy.Com℠ — the trading name of Arizona Behavioral Health Associates, P.C., based in Flagstaff, Arizona — and Nebraska clients are seen wherever they happen to live.
The people we hear from are, for the most part, everyday people with everyday problems that have become hard to manage alone: an adult whose anxiety now dictates which invitations get accepted, a couple worn down by the same argument, a teenager whose school year has come apart, someone whose working hours have never allowed for a standing appointment. We see individuals of all ages, from young children through adults in later life, and we meet with families together when that is what the situation calls for.
Six of the areas Nebraska clients most often ask about are described here; each one is approached through an individual plan built during the first few sessions rather than a set curriculum.
Persistent low mood, irritability, and the loss of interest that makes ordinary tasks feel out of reach. We look at what maintains the pattern week to week and what can realistically shift it.
Panic, social fear, and the constant low-grade alertness that follows people home from work. Treatment focuses on facing avoided situations gradually while learning to settle the body.
For parents managing behavior at home, school meetings, or a household under strain. We often meet with parents alone first, then include the children when there is something useful for them to do.
Difficulty starting tasks, losing track of time, and the frustration that builds around it, in adults as well as students. Sessions build structure that suits your actual week.
Support during recovery and relapse prevention, including work with family members whose own lives have arranged themselves around someone else's drinking or use.
Evaluations for educational planning, employment screening, forensic questions, and neuropsychological concerns. Whether an assessment can be completed by video is decided in consultation, not assumed.
We work steadily and systematically to understand your situation before suggesting solutions. For Nebraska clients who have gone a long time without seeing anyone, we are careful not to overwhelm the early weeks of counseling. Our practice serves children, academics, and professionals, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to build functional, daily skills. We agree on written goals together, ensuring the plan fits the realities of your household and schedule. Since sustainable change is a gradual process, we do not offer a quick fix. Instead, we prioritize consistent, weekly contact that allows individuals and families to recognize their own progress. Our focus remains on fostering durable coping strategies that continue to serve you well after our work together concludes.
One clinician is available to Nebraska clients: Dr. Della S. Lusk, Clinical Director of the practice. She handles intake calls, so the person who first discusses your situation with you is also the person who will treat you.
Clinical Director · Bilingual Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Lusk holds the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT™) granted by the PSYPACT® Commission, which authorizes her to provide telepsychology to clients located in Nebraska.
Dr. Lusk has practiced as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist for more than twenty-five years and works in both English and Spanish. Her doctorate in Clinical Psychology is from the California School of Professional Psychology–San Diego, a program accredited by the American Psychological Association, and her undergraduate degree is from Smith College. She has been qualified by the State of Arizona as an expert witness. Nebraska clients see her for therapy across the lifespan and for psychological evaluation.
Request an appointmentFull biographies, training, and areas of expertise are listed on our providers page. You can also read Dr. Lusk’s licensure and credentials in full. You are welcome to ask any clinician directly about their qualifications and experience.
Yes, under a specific arrangement. Where a psychologist may practice is determined by the client's physical location at the time of the session. Nebraska is a member of PSYPACT®, the interstate compact for telepsychology, and a psychologist who holds the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology may treat clients located in any other participating state. Dr. Lusk holds that authority through the PSYPACT® Commission, and it is the legal basis for her working with you in Nebraska.
The rule cuts both ways, which matters if you cross state lines often. A few days spent in a neighboring state does not end your treatment, but it can change whether a particular session is permitted, so we ask clients to tell the office in advance when they will be away. The commission publishes the list of participating states and the terms of the authority at psypact.gov. None of this alters how a session feels; it governs only where you may sit for one.
Participating jurisdictions are published by the compact commissions and can change. You can review current psychology participation at psypact.gov, find the relevant psychology licensing board through the PSYPACT® board directory, or check counseling privileges at CompactConnect. If you are not sure which applies to you, call (844) 774-7997 and we will confirm before you schedule.
Nebraska has a dense mix of public universities, state colleges and small private institutions, and students move between home and campus several times a year. We see undergraduates, graduate students, staff and faculty from the schools listed below, and treatment carries across a break rather than stopping at the end of a term.
Clients join us from Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, Grand Island, Crete and Hastings, and from farms and small towns between them. What a session needs is a private space and a working connection, not proximity to any of these places.
Children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Some people come with a clear diagnosis from a physician; many arrive only knowing that something has been wrong for months. We also see people who are functioning well outwardly and privately struggling. If your situation turns out to need a level of care we do not provide, we will say so early and help you think about where to look.
You receive a link before the appointment and open it on a phone, tablet or computer in a room where you will not be interrupted. The session runs its usual length and looks much like sitting in an office together. The first meeting covers history, current difficulties and goals. Later sessions pick up where the previous one left off, with agreed work in between.
Many can, and some prefer it, since talking from their own room feels less exposed than a waiting room where they might be recognized. A parent or guardian is involved in the arrangements and, for younger children, in the sessions themselves. We discuss at the outset what will be shared with you and what the young person can keep private, so that expectations are clear.
No. Rural distance is one of the main reasons people contact us. The session comes to you, so the mileage that rules out weekly appointments elsewhere is simply not a factor. We will ask about the medical care available to you locally, because coordinating with a primary care provider matters more, not less, when specialists are far away.
Telephone (844) 774-7997 or email info@psychotherapy.com. The office will ask a few questions about what you are looking for and arrange a time. The fee agreement is sent when you schedule, and any questions about out-of-network arrangements are answered before you are seen. Bring any previous evaluations or medication information you have; if you have none, that is perfectly normal.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, and we gladly accept HSA, FSA, and HRA cards so you can use pre-tax dollars toward your care. Our practice generally operates out-of-network. This allows us to protect your privacy, keep care highly personalized, and avoid insurance-mandated session limits.
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Please check with your insurance company regarding your out-of-network benefits. As a courtesy, we will submit claims on your behalf upon request, and any reimbursement will be sent directly to the insured. Call (844) 774-7997 or email info@psychotherapy.com if you have questions.
Our services are by appointment only, during normal business hours. Evening, weekend, and early morning appointments are sometimes available for established clients.
Most people begin with a phone call. Reach the office at (844) 774-7997, or write to info@psychotherapy.com if that is easier, and say a little about the difficulty. Fees are discussed beforehand, and a time is set that works around a Nebraska working week.
We do not offer crisis, walk-in, or inpatient services of any type, and this page is not a substitute for emergency care.

This page provides general information about telehealth psychotherapy and psychological services. It is not medical or psychological advice, does not create a clinician–client relationship, and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Whether a particular service is appropriate for you is determined with a clinician during a confidential consultation. Telehealth authorization depends on your physical location at the time of each appointment; participating jurisdictions are published at psypact.gov and, for counseling, at CompactConnect.
