Yes, you can confess your sins to the Almighty God by prayer, it is not necessary to confess your sins out openly at home, you can only if you choose to. But confessing your sins is not all you need to do. In order to be forgiven of your sins, you need to turn away from them, and work on not returning to them. ( Psalms 43:14; 1Peter 3:11; Proverbs 3:7; Ezekiel 18:23; Job 28:28). Please take the time to look up the Scriptures.

sin is a man-made concept describing an offense against god(s). If gods don't exist then it doesn't matter if you confess to a priest or box of cheerios. If you plot answer to prayer alongside chance, w/o labels you would not know the difference.

“confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.” – James 5:16
As you can see the verse says sins must be confessed to another person. Does it say confess straight to God? No it doesn’t. This is the way Christ has established to forgive sins. James was a priest (an apostle) describing how they have to confess to other priests. Honestly I would say you need to move to an area with priests. That’s why Catholics evangelized into all parts of the world so people could have access to the sacraments. Deliberately moving to an area with no Catholic Church and no priests puts you in a bad situation
