Teletherapy benefits for new and existing clients include:
1: Improved access to mental health services, regardless of location
If you happen to live in an area that doesn’t have clinics within a comfortable driving distance or don’t have a means of transportation. Utilizing teletherapy is a great way to get the help you need without having to worry about how you are going to get there.
2: More convenient scheduling options
Making it to an office can be tough for some people. While you’re scheduled for 45-60 minutes. The commute and waiting time can add a couple more minutes to that. Luckily with virtual counseling, you can sign on at the exact time you’re scheduled and be done without having to add on extra time for the commute.
3: Reduced stress and anxiety associated with in-person visits
Telehealth counseling can be stressful. If you are worried about meeting a bunch of new faces or running into someone you might know in person, then teletherapy is your best option. While we always keep things completely confidential. We know that this is a concern for our new clients.
4: Increased privacy and confidentiality
With teletherapy, you will gain the benefit of increased privacy. All your sessions with us will be done over a secure and confidential portal. You can wear a headset, and you can also request that your therapist wears a headset so you both know that no one can hear you.
What is teletherapy?
Teletherapy is a form of counseling that uses the internet or other electronic means to provide mental health care. Patients can receive counseling from a remote therapist through email, chat, or video conferencing.
Why use teletherapy?
There are many reasons to use teletherapy. For example, remote therapy can help patients who cannot travel to a therapist in person. It can also be helpful for people who are unable to visit a therapist because they are too busy or they live far away from their doctor. Telehealth counseling is especially useful for people who have difficulty accessing mental health services due to illness or disability. Finally, virtual counseling can be an effective way to treat anxiety and depression in adults and children.
