Online Counseling in Florida
Experience the convenience and comfort of virtual counseling through a secure, Zoom video platform. You may be located anywhere in the state of Florida to work with me. Let’s begin!
Online counseling, telehealth, virtual visits.
It used to be that you had to find time to drive to an office to see a therapist.
But times have changed. Online counseling (also referred to as telehealth or virtual visits) has proven to be a safe and effective way for clients to attend therapy sessions.
Why should I do therapy online instead of in-person in the therapist’s office?
Doing therapy online is more convenient. If you work full time and have family responsibilities, it may be difficult to find the time to drive to and from a therapist’s office. You can do sessions on your lunch hour at work. You can even do the sessions in your car (as long as you are parked).
Doing therapy online may feel more comfortable. When you are in the comfort of your home, you may feel more at ease during the sessions. You can even sit outside in your garden or backyard.
How do I sign on to the online therapy session?
Before the time of your scheduled session, I will send you a private link to the Zoom platform. I have a professional subscription that is compliant with privacy policies. You can attend the session via phone or computer. However, I recommend that if you are doing EMDR sessions that you use a regular laptop or computer.
Do I have to be home to do the online therapy session?
No. You can be at work or even in your car. The main thing is that you have privacy. So if you are at the office, please be in a private office with a closed door. If you are in the car, please make sure you are parked in a secure place. I will ask you for your exact location in the case that you are not doing the sessions at home.
Can I do the therapy session if I am on vacation in another state?
No. You must be located in the state of Florida when doing your online counseling session.
Is online counseling just as effective as doing a therapy session in person?
Yes! Many studies have shown that psychotherapy sessions online are just as effective as doing counseling sessions face-to-face. Personally, I feel that they can be even more effective. Clients are generally more relaxed. Additionally, many clients like to take notes and find it easier when they are sitting at their computer desk.
