What is online therapy?

Online therapy is talk therapy over video chat or telephone. Online therapy is a lot like therapy conducted in person. Before your first appointment you will receive a link that will take you to your individual therapist’s virtual waiting room.

 

Does it work? Is it effective?

Yes! Therapy in any form is reliant on the relationship between the therapist and the client. Though the medium is different, the relationship can still thrive and the therapeutic process can still be effective.

 

How does online therapy work?

Online therapy is very similar to therapy conducted in person. In your initial intake session, you will go over what brings you to therapy and our policies, and begin developing a relationship with your therapist. Any questions you have will be answered, and we will establish together how therapy will progress, meeting on an agreed upon schedule.

 

Is now a good time to start therapy?

Yes! Anytime you feel curious, ready, or invested in making a change is an excellent time to start.  

 

Is online therapy private? How do you manage my privacy?

Yes, online therapy is private. We use HIPPA compliant video programs to ensure the privacy of all sessions. We follow confidentiality laws and vet our video programming, and continue to maintain securely managed electronic health records.

 

Will it be covered by insurance?

Many insurance companies are waving in person requirements and allowing online therapy to be covered. To be 100% sure, we encourage you to contact your insurance company directly if you have additional questions.
