Online sessions: flexibility to meet you wherever you are

Online therapy (also referred to as teletherapy, distance counseling or remote therapy) is a convenient, secure, and effective solution for your therapy needs.  We meet from the privacy of your own home, office, or anywhere you are with access to your phone, tablet, or computer and a good internet connection.

 

Sessions will be conducted through a secure HIPPA compliant video conferencing platform. After we schedule your appointment time, I will email you an appointment confirmation that includes the forms you will need to fill out and sign electronically prior to your appointment.  At the scheduled appointment time, click on the link and follow the onscreen prompts.

 

Benefits:

• Online therapy sessions are convenient, all you need is a phone or laptop and strong internet connection.

 

• Practical solution for busy schedules/scheduling constraints

 

• Meet from the privacy of your own home, office, or when traveling.

 

• Great option for individuals living in remote areas.

 

• Reduction of late cancellations and fees due to stressors such as dealing with traffic, commuting, parking

 

"Research studies indicate that online/telemental health is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings and an acceptable alternative form of counseling." (American Psychological Association, 2017)

 

Limitations:

 

• Online counselors will not be able to respond to crisis situations.

 

• Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed to the same degree as in-person sessions due to limitations of technology

 

Please Note:

Clients with severe mental illness that may require emergency services are NOT appropriate for this form of therapy and need to see a clinician in the office for the safety of the client.
