Online sessions, or telehealth, offers significant advantages, making mental health support more accessible and flexible. By removing geographical barriers, you can connect with your ideal therapist regardless of location. This flexibility suits busy schedules, as sessions can be arranged without travel. Privacy is ensured with HIPAA-compliant platforms, requiring you to be in Maryland or Pennsylvania during therapy sessions.
Additionally, online sessions reduce stigma by allowing discreet participation from home. Unsure? Contact us for a 15-minute consultation.
Online sessions mirror in-person sessions, providing the same level of support but in the safety and comfort of your own home. You have the flexibility to take sessions anywhere, whether it's on your porch, using your smartphone in the living room, or even while on a walk.
Research indicates that online sessions are equally effective as in-person sessions, allowing you to achieve the same progress without the need to travel. We utilize a 100% secure, HIPAA-approved video platform. When it's time for your scheduled session, simply log in using the link provided via email/text and we will be there just as we would in an office setting.
Make sure your laptop, desktop, or tablet is fully charged and equipped with a webcam and audio. Ideally, keep it plugged in during the session or ensure it's fully charged beforehand. Have your phone fully charged as a backup in case of technical issues and disable notifications to avoid interruptions during your session.
Using earphones can minimize sound echoing and help you concentrate on your conversation with the therapist.
