What is Virtual Counseling?

Ally Hoffman, MA, LPC-Associate Supervised by Melissa Barton, LPC-S Have you ever experienced virtual counseling? Are you having trouble meeting your therapist in person due to time, financial, or other constraints? No problem – we are here to help! Teletherapy or virtual counseling is a convenient method of providing therapy to clients remotely via our HIPPA-compliant, online platform. Teletherapy is conducted by one of our licensed therapists with a secure internet and video connection. This method of counseling is adaptable and efficient, because it offers more options.

How is Virtual Counseling Beneficial?

TeleTherapy has many benefits and remains appealing for a wide variety of reasons. For example, virtual services offer a similar healing experience from the comfort of your own environment and can often prove more cost-effective given the elimination of travel costs. Further, this method of counseling appeals to a wide variety of populations for reasons such as:

Adaptability

Firstly, TeleTherapy Services can be held wherever you have access to the internet via cell phone, tablet, or computer! This enables our therapists to offer services over a long distance. Did something come up last minute but you do not want to cancel? Not a problem, our therapists can quickly switch to the online video platform.
