ONLINE THERAPY

I also offer online therapy, also known as teletherapy or telehealth, which has the benefit of allowing individuals or couples to access therapy from the comfort of their own home or any location with internet access. Sessions can be scheduled at times that are convenient for the client, potentially reducing conflicts with work, childcare, or other responsibilities. Online therapy eliminates the need for travel time and can be more flexible in terms of scheduling. Some individuals feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or personal issues in their own environment. Online therapy provides a private space where clients can feel more relaxed and secure, potentially enhancing the therapeutic experience. For clients who travel frequently or have irregular schedules, online therapy offers continuity of care. They can continue working with me regardless of their location, ensuring consistency in their therapeutic relationship and progress. Online therapy may be more cost-effective for clients, as it eliminates travel expenses associated with traditional in-person therapy. Video platforms used for online therapy allow for face-to-face interaction, which can facilitate effective communication and helps maintain a sense of connection and understanding. Online therapy was particularly helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be a critical means for individuals to access mental health support.

Overall, my online therapy services provide a flexible, convenient, and effective way for individuals to receive therapy that meets their needs and preferences. It can be particularly beneficial in improving access to mental health care and supporting ongoing mental wellness.

I use a secure online platform that integrate scheduling, video conferencing, and payment processing. Like in traditional therapy, the first session often involves an initial assessment where I gather information about your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This helps me understand your needs and tailor the treatment plan accordingly.

​

Online therapy sessions are conducted through secure video conferencing platform that comply with healthcare privacy regulations (e.g., HIPAA in the United States). This ensures confidentiality.

During the session, we interact in real-time via video, like a face-to-face session. I use techniques such as active listening, empathy, and therapeutic interventions to facilitate discussions and address your concerns. I have adapted traditional therapeutic techniques to the online format, utilizing tools such as screen-sharing for worksheets or visual aids, chat functions for instant messaging, or digital whiteboards for interactive exercises.

Between sessions, I may assign homework assignments or recommend activities to help you practice skills learned in therapy.

Payment for my online therapy sessions is handled through a secure online payment system. I also accept some insurance programs for online therapy, depending on the provider and your coverage.

Overall, I believe online mental health therapy provides a flexible and accessible option for individuals to receive professional support and treatment, utilizing technology to bridge geographical barriers and enhance convenience without sacrificing the quality of care.
