Individual Therapy

My practice is 100% online. This means all sessions are done through a secure video platform, or by phone. There are many advantages to working together online, the most notable being the ease and flexibility of scheduling. I meet with clients when they are at home, at work, at school, in the car, anywhere! Most often, however, they are in the comfort of their own homes, which provides an added feeling of safety when addressing the tough stuff that therapy can bring up. They are also able to easily process sessions, without having to immediately distract in order to drive home from an office. The convenience is unmatched. Below find answers to some frequently asked questions regarding online therapy to assess if going online is right for you.

How does it work?

My online counseling platform uses secure video conferencing to enable face-to-face conversations. The video call is completely secure (HIPAA-protected) and confidential, and nothing is recorded or kept in any way. On the day of your appointment, I will send you a private, secure link via email, enabling you to connect by video at the time of your appointment. The video platform can be opened through a computer, tablet, or smart phone. You do not need to download an app to use it (it just opens right up).  

Is online counseling effective?

Yes, online therapy has been proven to be just as effective as in person sessions. This is why most insurance companies have chosen to include telehealth as a covered part of mental health benefits.

Will my insurance cover online therapy?

Most insurance companies now provide coverage for telehealth as part of their standard mental health benefits. All plans are different, however, so you may want to call your insurance company directly to know exactly what is covered for you.
