Telehealth involves the delivery of counseling services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a mental health clinician and a client who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth is just like an in-person session with a therapist, only using video conferencing. There are many benefits to having sessions with a Bridge to Well-Being therapist using telehealth:
- It can be easier and more efficient for you to access mental health care
- There may be more flexibility to schedule a time convenient for you.
- You can talk to a therapist without physically coming to an office.
Here is what you will need to meet with one of our therapists using video therapy:
- A computer or tablet with a microphone and a camera
- A private space without distractions
- A secure internet connection
Though telehealth sessions have similar outcomes to in-person sessions, they may not be effective for everyone in every situation. If you are interested in learning if telehealth is an appropriate option for you, contact us at 412-778-8660.
