Teletherapy

Therapy from the comfort of your own home or office!

Overview

We were doing teletherapy before the pandemic began! While we see the benefits of face-to-face sessions, we also recognize that an increasing number of individuals are opting to receive therapy online. Within the past few years, insurance companies have caught up to this trend and many are now covering teletherapy the same way they cover face-to-face sessions. So, whether you are geographically further away, in a pinch for time, or simply prefer to communicate online, we offer a HIPAA-compliant platform that ensures secure communication. Individual, Family and Group sessions are available via teletherapy.

When Teletherapy May Not Be Ideal

  • Severe crisis situations may need in-person care
  • Privacy at home isn’t always guaranteed
  • Some people feel less connected over video
  • Somatic or experiential modalities can be harder virtually
  • Some people are already socially isolated and getting out of the house and out of their comfort zone can be a significant benefit

Teletherapy (online therapy via video, phone, or messaging) has become widely used — and for many people, it’s not just a backup option but actually preferable. Here are the main advantages:

 

1. Convenience & Accessibility

  • No commute time
  • Easier to fit into busy schedules
  • Accessible from rural or underserved areas
  • Helpful if you have mobility or health challenges
  • Allows for continued therapy even in inclement weather

You can attend from home, your office, or even your car (parked safely).

 

2. Comfort & Safety

Being in your own space can:

  • Reduce anxiety
  • Increase openness
  • Feel less clinical or intimidating
  • Support neurodivergent or sensory-sensitive clients

Some people feel more emotionally safe in familiar surroundings.

 

3. Supports ADHD & Executive Function Challenges

Teletherapy can:

  • Reduce the activation energy required to attend
  • Eliminate travel-related overwhelm
  • Make it easier to show up consistently

For many clients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, fewer logistical steps = better follow-through.

 

4. Wider Choice of Therapists

You’re not limited to providers in your immediate area. This can help you:

  • Find a specialist (e.g., trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence-affirming)
  • Work with someone who matches your identity or cultural background
  • Continue with your therapist if you move (depending on licensing rules)

 

5. Lower Social Pressure

Some people find it easier to:

  • Make eye contact on screen
  • Control visual input
  • Use chat features if verbal processing is hard
  • Regulate sensory input (lighting, sound, fidgeting freely)

 

6. Continuity During Life Changes

Teletherapy works well if you:

  • Travel frequently
  • Have caregiving responsibilities
