WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING TREATMENT FOR?

Online therapy is a great option if  you are seeking support for:

  • Depression and Anxiety
  • Navigating Relationship Concerns
  • PTSD
  • Excessive Stress (family or career-related) 
  • Significant life-changes

While not an exhaustive list, the above concerns are frequently addressed with online therapy. Mental health concerns are part of overall well-being and are often covered by insurance providers. Online therapy and in-person therapy can be equally successful. One of the biggest hurdles many people face is simply going to therapy; having a more flexible option can alleviate that obstacle.

 

WHAT IS THE MAIN ROLE OF THE THERAPIST

A therapist is a licensed healthcare professional. Therapists can specialize in working with different mental and emotional health concerns. As you work with a therapist, they will listen to what you have to say and provide effective tools to help manage your emotional and mental health. They may also make recommendations regarding additional treatment or providers to aid in your support.

 

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE BEST PROVIDER

As with any healthcare professional, it is important to do your research. Therapy is a very personal experience, and you want to ensure that you and your therapist are a good fit together. Shop around for your needs. Check for testimonials and schedule a free phone consultation where you can ask questions and get a feel for your therapist to ensure they are a good fit for your needs. Go forward with the individual who makes you feel the most comfortable. 

 

WILL MY INSURANCE COVER THERAPY AND IF NOT, WHAT ARE THE COSTS?

Depending on your insurance provider, you may require a referral from your PCP. However therapy for a myriad of mental health concerns is regularly covered. In our post-COVID world, online therapy and in-person therapy are often covered equally by insurance. If you do not have health insurance, reach out to your therapist. You can work together to come up with a payment plan if possible.

 

WHEN AM I GOING TO FIT ONLINE THERAPY INTO MY SCHEDULE?

Have you put off therapy because of time constraints? We are all so busy, that scheduling one more thing seems impossible. With online therapy, making time for yourself is easier than ever. You can schedule a session during your lunch break, evening hours, a weekend, or somewhere in between. You no longer have to miss appointments if you are sick, out of town for work, or on vacation. With therapy, consistently showing up is one of the hallmarks of success.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ONLINE THERAPY?

Many people who would benefit from therapy struggle to prioritize their mental health. While lessening, there is still a stigma associated with going to therapy. 

Maybe you, your spouse, or your family members do not think therapy is important.
Living in a rural area can make finding a therapist more difficult.
Working long hours makes it a struggle to find any time for yourself.

Seeking therapy is nothing to be ashamed of. Anything that makes you healthier and happier is worth pursuing. However, not everyone has a strong support system, so the anonymity and flexibility of online therapy can be appealing. If you are unsure about starting therapy, trying online therapy is a great first step.
