How does online therapy work?
How do online sessions work?
Each week you will be sent an email with a link to join the session that you can access on the device of your choice.
Are online therapy sessions effective?
Research has shown online therapy to be comparable to in-person mental health treatment. The online format can make it easier for clients with busy schedules to access treatment more easily and consistently, without transportation issues and commute time.
Is online therapy private?
Sessions are conducted using HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based software to ensure confidentiality. You will need to find a private, quiet space at your end.
Where should I do it?
You can participate in therapy sessions from any private, quiet space. It can be helpful to establish a dedicated place for sessions to minimize interruptions and ensure you’re in a spot where you feel comfortable sharing whatever you need to.
What if there is a technology glitch?
In the unlikely event that a technology issue is so significant that we cannot complete the session, you can opt to finish out the time in a telephone session or, depending on mutual availability, reschedule the missed portion as an online session for the same week. (If you plan to seek reimbursement for a telephone session with out-of-network benefits, check with your insurance company, as coverage may vary.)
Are online sessions appropriate for everyone?
If you would benefit more from in-person sessions or more intensive mental health care than I can provide in once-a-week online sessions, I will provide a referral to alternative mental health resources. Additionally, if you can’t be sure that you will have access to a private space with a strong internet connection, online health services are not the best fit.
