What is Online Counseling?

Health services provided through an online platform are often called telehealth or telemedicine. At Center for Mental Health and Wellness, we offer telehealth services for counseling, also referred to as online counseling. One of the benefits of online counseling is that you do not have to drive to a clinic or any particular location to attend your session. You can obtain counseling from the privacy of your own home through secure online video conferencing. No more wasted time driving or sitting in a waiting room prior to your appointment. Just hop online to speak with your qualified therapist. At Center for Mental Health and Wellness, session length and appointment experience will be relatively similar to office visits. Telehealth sessions have shown to be equally as effective as office visits. Some patients prefer a hybrid model attending in-person some sessions and telehealth for others based on their schedule and personal preferences. 

If you are interest in online counseling with Center for Mental Health and Wellness, please let us know that you prefer telehealth in your intake paperwork. When confirming your appointment, make sure the appointment location is listed as a telehealth video appointment. Prior to your online session, you will receive a link to connect you to your therapist via secure video conferencing. Schedule a telehealth appointment today.
