Anxiety
Worry that never quite switches off, treated with practical CBT so your days feel steadier.
Online Therapy in Wisconsin
From Kenosha to Eau Claire, whatever the season is doing to the roads, a licensed psychologist sees seniors, couples, adults, and families, including children and adolescents, over secure video without anyone leaving home.
Currently accepting new clients
Request a Wisconsin appointmentWisconsin clients reach us for two quite different reasons. In Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, and Green Bay the difficulty is usually finding an appointment that fits around work and school. Farther out it is finding a psychologist at all, particularly one who works with children or understands the transitions of later life. We see people across the lifespan by secure video: young children with a parent taking part, adolescents, adults, couples, whole families, and older adults who prefer not to drive in winter.
The practical effect is a schedule that holds. A weekly hour taken from home does not compete with a commute, a shift, or a January storm, and a family or couple can be seen together without three people driving to the same building. What stays fixed is the requirement to be inside Wisconsin when a session begins, because the psychologist's authorization rests on your physical location rather than your permanent address.
Online Therapy Services in Wisconsin
These six areas account for much of our Wisconsin caseload. Your clinician will discuss with you at the outset whether a video format is right for the concern you are bringing.
Child & Adolescent Therapy
Younger clients are seen with a parent or guardian involved throughout, and sessions are built around what a child can manage: shorter stretches, concrete tasks, and a parent who leaves knowing what comes next.
Anxiety, Stress & Social Phobia
School refusal, test panic, and adult worry that has swallowed the evenings are all treated by mapping what keeps the anxiety alive and then dismantling the avoidance at a pace you set.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Sessions work on the observable side, meaning sleep, appetite, movement, and time spent in company, as well as on the private commentary a depressed month produces and then presents as the truth about you.
Learning Disabilities Assessment
Where school performance does not match a child's obvious ability, assessment can clarify what is happening and what support to ask for. Which components need an in-person session is decided individually.
Grief, Loss & End of Life Care
Sessions make room for bereavement, for a diagnosis that changes a family's future, and for the anger and relief that often arrive alongside grief and are much harder to admit to.
Self-Esteem & Body Image
Persistent self-criticism, comparison, and shame about appearance are examined for where they came from and what they cost, with practical work on how you treat yourself day to day.
Concerns We Help With
Whether you meet us by secure video or in person at our Flagstaff office, these are the concerns we most often help with.
Depression
Low mood that drains interest and energy, met with patient, structured care that rebuilds one step at a time.
Trauma
Careful, paced work for difficult experiences, with you in control of what you share and when.
ADHD assessment and coaching
Clear testing when you need answers, and practical coaching for the schedules and habits that follow.
Young adults
Support through the first years on your own: school, work, independence, and the relationships that come with them.
Burnout and stress
For professionals running on empty: therapy for the exhaustion, and coaching for the work habits underneath it.
How we work with Wisconsin clients
With families we are explicit about the ground rules before anything else: who the client is, what a parent will be told, and how a teenager's privacy is handled. With adults, professionals, and university students, our work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes understanding rather than instruction. We review the plan at intervals so that continuing is a considered choice, acknowledging from the outset that we do not offer a quick fix. Where a client needs something local, whether a prescriber, an in-person assessment, or a meeting at a school, the clinician will say so and help you arrange it instead of approximating it by video.
Your Wisconsin clinician
Dr. Lusk sees Wisconsin clients across the whole age range, and she does the intake, the therapy, and any evaluation herself, so the history does not have to be rebuilt by a second clinician.

Della S. Lusk, Ph.D.
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 Wisconsin.
Della S. Lusk, Ph.D., is the clinical director of this practice and a licensed clinical psychologist whose experience now exceeds twenty-five years. For clients in Wisconsin she takes on individual and family therapy, couples seen together, and groups. Where a school or medical question needs answering she also conducts psychological evaluation, with the in-person parts of testing done at our Flagstaff office. She works with people from early childhood through later life, and she is bilingual in English and Spanish.

How telehealth licensing works in Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a participating state in PSYPACT®, the interstate agreement covering telepsychology, and Dr. Lusk works with clients here under the interjurisdictional authority granted to her by its commission. The authority attaches to the clinician, which is what makes it possible for a family in Eau Claire or Green Bay to be seen by a psychologist whose office is in Arizona.
It does depend on where you are during the hour. Being inside Wisconsin as the session starts is the requirement; a weekend in Illinois or Minnesota on a session day means letting the office know in advance so that we can reschedule or check the other state's standing. Where a move is coming, raise it early. Whether the work continues depends on the destination, and where it cannot, we prepare a referral instead.
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.

Common questions from Wisconsin clients
Can young children be seen this way?
Some can, and some are better served in person; that is a judgment reached with you in the first conversation rather than a blanket rule. Children seen over video usually do best in shorter sessions with a parent present and involved, and part of the work is giving that parent something concrete to carry into the week.
Do you see whole families together?
Yes. A session might include two parents, a parent and an adolescent, or several adult siblings discussing the care of a parent. Everybody taking part needs to be in Wisconsin at the time. Where relatives live in different states, tell the office and we will work out what is permitted before the session is booked.
Can students at Wisconsin colleges use the practice?
Yes, and a fair number do. Campus counseling services are often stretched, and some students would rather see somebody who has nothing to do with their university at all. Because nothing here is tied to a campus, the same course of therapy continues over the summer, through a placement, and after graduation if the student stays in the state.
Your psychologist is in Arizona. Is that lawful in Wisconsin?
It is, under the interstate telepsychology compact in which Wisconsin takes part. Dr. Lusk holds the interjurisdictional authority that compact grants, and participation is published at psypact.gov should you like to confirm it. The corresponding requirement is that you be physically in Wisconsin for each appointment.
What do sessions cost?
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Any out-of-network questions you want to raise are answered by the office before a first appointment is scheduled, so that side of it is settled before treatment begins. The number for that conversation is (844) 774-7997, and staff will answer what they can about how the practice operates.
How to get started in Wisconsin
Most Wisconsin clients begin in our secure online scheduler, often choosing hours around a school or work day. The office confirms how the appointments work and sends the fee agreement.
