At Anytime Anywhere Therapy (AAT), we believe mental health support should be flexible, accessible, and deeply personal. While psychotherapy is at the heart of what we do, many of our clients have also found meditation to be a valuable companion to their Online Sessions. Whether practiced before, during, or after therapy, meditation helps ground the mind and body, creating space for reflection and healing.
Why Meditation Works
Meditation is more than just “sitting quietly.” It is an intentional practice that trains attention, promotes relaxation, and encourages awareness of the present moment. Research has shown that consistent meditation can reduce stress, improve focus, and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. For many, it also supports emotional regulation, helping them approach challenges with greater clarity and calm.
Integrating Meditation into Therapy Sessions
Some of our clients choose to begin or end their online therapy sessions with a short meditation. Even just a few minutes of mindful breathing can help them feel more settled, making it easier to open up during therapy. Others find post-session meditation helpful for processing emotions, reinforcing insights, and gently transitioning back into daily life.
At AAT, we encourage clients to explore these practices as part of their therapeutic journey. Our therapists often guide simple grounding exercises—such as focusing on breath or observing bodily sensations—to reduce tension and enhance connection during virtual sessions.
Daily Practice and Reported Benefits
Beyond the therapy room, many of our clients dedicate 40 minutes to an hour each day to personal meditation. They often share inspiring progress: greater resilience in stressful moments, improved sleep, and a deeper sense of balance. Consistency has proven to be key—turning meditation into a daily ritual helps reinforce the benefits they begin to notice early on.
““Meditation is not about escaping your thoughts, but about finding the calm space within them. At Anytime Anywhere Therapy, we see it as a bridge—helping clients ground themselves, heal, and carry that balance into everyday life.” 🌿”
