If you’re struggling with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or relationship problems, you’re not alone.
Many people have experienced excessive worry, fears, and sadness since the pandemic hit – even if they’ve never struggled with these issues before.
Whether your mental health or relationship problems are recent or have existed for years, online therapy can help.
However, online therapy is not indicated for those who have severe or complex mental health symptoms. If you’re unsure if you’re a suitable candidate for online therapy, contact me.
Why Choose Online Therapy?
Proven to Be Effective
Research shows that online therapy offered via video is just as beneficial as in-person therapy. Before attending online video therapy, some clients worry that it isn't as effective as in-person therapy but are surprised at how well it works.
Safe
You don't have to be concerned about coming into my office and risking your physical health due to the virus. You'll be safe talking to me from the safety of your home or office.
Secure and Private
I use a secure, private online video software to ensure our sessions are 100% private and confidential. The software is HIPPA compliant, which means it meets the state's highest standards for privacy and security.
Flexible and Convenient
Online therapy provides the flexibility and convenience to book sessions to fit your schedule. You may also be more comfortable in your home or office environment. You don't have to worry about running into other people in my waiting room.
Saves Time and Reduces Stress
Your life is busy with work, errands, exercising, and attending to children, etc. You can save time by not driving to my office or trying to fit in an appointment into your schedule. You also don't have to deal with the stress of traffic.
Zero Travel Costs
Online therapy saves money because you don't have to spend any on transportation or parking to attend sessions.
Easy Access if Living in a Remote Location
My therapist license allows me to see anyone for online therapy in the state of Tennessee. This is perfect if you live in a location with limited access to therapists of your preference in your area. Also, if you live in a rural area, you might be concerned about your privacy if you have to see a therapist with whom you also must interact within your community.
Suitable if you Have Health or Mobility Issues
If you have trouble getting around due to a health or disability issue, you won't have to miss out on seeing me to improve your mental health. You can be assured that you can book appointments with me at any time from your home if you live in Tennessee.
Online Therapy is Here to Stay
Now that I am set up to provide online sessions, and my clients are familiar and comfortable with the technology, I'll continue to offer online therapy as an option to in-person sessions when the pandemic is over.
How Online Therapy Works
You can book your appointment for online sessions the same as you would if you were doing an in-person session.
New and existing clients can request appointments here. Online sessions are the same length as in-person therapy sessions, 45-60 minutes.
After you book your appointment, I’ll send you information on how to access the secure video platform.
You’ll need a private and quiet place so that others can’t hear you and there aren’t any distractions (e.g., phones ringing, dogs barking, etc.).
You’ll also have to have fairly good lighting so that I’ll be able to see you clearly. If you have earbuds with a microphone or another microphone, it can be helpful to improve the sound.
As you can see, there are many benefits to online therapy.
If you’re concerned about whether it can work with you, schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We can discuss your concerns, and I’ll explain how I can help.
