Teletherapy – Online Counseling
Teletherapy – An Alternative to In-Person Sessions
Teletherapy simply means therapy services that are provided through live video streaming over the Internet.
It allows clients to practice and sustain good mental health when various issues interfere with an in-person session.
At Jeremy Frank & Associates, we use secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing services such as Zoom, doxy.me, and others so you can easily connect with a therapist from anywhere.
In some cases, we can use video streaming apps like Skype, FaceTime, and Google Hangouts if you’re more comfortable with those or any other platform.
Learn about teletherapy below to see if it’s right for you! For more information, please call 215-356-8061 or contact us online.
About Teletherapy
Teletherapy is a type of online counseling where you connect with a therapist who is right for you no matter where you’re located via remote video conferencing.
You receive the same treatment as you would in-person, but it’s through a computer, smartphone, or tablet instead.
Benefits of teletherapy include:
- Safety: Illness won’t spread between clients and therapists which protects everyone.
- Access: It’s easier for clients who live in remote areas or have limited mobility or access to transportation.
- Reduced cost: It eliminates the costs associated with travel time and gas.
- Flexibility: Clients have access to more therapists and can select a therapist who can work with their schedules.
- Consistency: Clients can schedule sessions more frequently because they don’t have to commute or miss sessions due to poor weather conditions or sickness.
- Comfort: It offers more privacy than going to a therapist’s office which helps eliminate the social stigma of receiving treatment.
