Online Therapy for Individuals
You may have heard of it by other names…
“Telehealth,” “e-therapy,” “telemedicine”… they’re all just different words for the same thing.
It means that we’ll meet online, using either a computer or smartphone, from wherever you are.
Now, you have the flexibility to get therapy from your living room couch, your car, your kitchen table, your office, or your bed. . . if it works for you, it works for me.
If you live in California or New York, distance is no longer a barrier to getting the support you need!
There are SO many benefits to working together online…
It’s comfortable…
You pop open your laptop or phone while you’re sitting comfortably in whatever environment works for you. Plus, you can wear comfy clothes and have your favorite beverage right there beside you.
It’s convenient…
Eliminate the stress of rushing across town in traffic to get to your session on time.
It’s confidential…
I use HIPAA-compliant video technology with special security around it to protect your privacy. Online therapy also removes any concern of someone you know seeing you in the office waiting room.
It’s cost-efficient…
Forget about transportation costs, parking meters, and the time you’re wasting while traveling.
And it’s just as effective as in-person therapy!
Numerous studies have established that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy.
Not only that, clients reported being just as satisfied with online therapy as with in-person.
Online therapy is essentially the same as in-person therapy. However, some people report being able to open up even more because they’re more relaxed than they would be in an office.
Here’s how it works…
Before our appointment, I’ll send you an email with a link to easily join our meeting. We’ll be meeting on a private and secure HIPAA-compliant platform.
You’ll use your phone or computer so that we can video chat and see each other’s faces. It’ll be like we’re in person, but you get to be in the comfort of your own space!
You’ll use the same link to connect for every session.
Tips for making the most of your online experience…
Make sure you have a strong Internet connection.
Find a quiet, private space.
Prop your device up so that you don’t have to hold it. When you’re hands-free, you’ll be able to focus more on the session.
Some clients sit in their vehicle as a way of getting privacy. If you are in your car, please make sure you are parked, not driving.
Are you ready to get started?
You might be nervous to try online therapy. You might worry about the technology or finding a good, private space. These concerns are usually easily resolved – the platform is very user-friendly, and any space with an Internet connection can work.
If your life is busy and your time is precious, online therapy is the way to go. Let’s carve out a space and time to focus on YOU.
