Many people actually find online therapy – or teletherapy – preferable and there are valid reasons why:

Convenience – You can do therapy from the privacy and comfort of your home. Or if you’re at work, you can close the door to your office and have a session without incurring any travel time. Or if you’re on vacation, at a remote location, snowed in, or don’t have access to transportation, you can still obtain the therapy you’re looking for.

Access – Not everyone lives close to a city that has therapists or, more importantly, the type of therapist that you determine is best for you. Online counseling allows you to choose from a therapist anywhere in the state where you reside.

Ease while struggling – Some persons who may be experiencing extreme anxiety, depression, PTSD, or shyness will find it easier to engage with a therapist over video from a location where they feel comfortable. As progress is made, the client may then decide to venture into the therapist’s office.

To ensure an optimal experience, it is important that the following preparations be taken:

Please be in a quiet, private, comfortable space free of interruption from pets, children, family members, or co-workers (if applicable).

Please turn off ringers and notifications on all devices so there are no distractions.

If using a phone or tablet, please find a stable location for it so you have your hands free.

Please ensure that you have a reliable internet connection free from dropouts or freezing up.

Please know that our video or phone session are not recorded. All confidentiality protocols are strictly adhered to regardless of method of counseling.
