Question 1

How does online therapy work?

Accepted Answer

Online therapy (also called teletherapy) lets us meet through a secure video platform instead of in person. You’ll receive a private link before each session. Just click to join from your computer, tablet, or phone. Sessions feel much like in-person therapy: we talk, explore what’s going on, and work together toward your goals.

Question 2

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Accepted Answer

For many people and concerns, online therapy can be highly effective and comparable to in-person work. Outcomes often depend on fit, consistency, and the quality of the therapeutic relationship. We’ll also make sure teletherapy is appropriate for your needs and discuss alternatives if a higher level of care or in-person support would be a better match.

Question 3

What do I need for an online therapy session?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone (computer, tablet, or phone), and a private space where you can speak freely. Headphones can help with privacy and sound quality. Before we begin, I’ll share simple steps to access the secure video link and what to do if there are any technical issues.
