TELEHEALTH VIRTUAL COUNSELING
A Look Into Telehealth
There are many pros and cons to receiving mental health therapy in person versus via telehealth. Often times, telehealth is not the client’s first option, which is mostly due to them not understanding the process or there being concern that the telehealth option isn’t as personable as an in-person session would be. So, we hope to answer any questions or concerns you may have via the FAQs listed below.
What is telehealth?
It is the use of telephone/cellular device or videoconferencing technology to provide the same mental health services you would receive in person. It can be completed with or without video. However, the preference would be with video as non-verbal’s are important to the therapeutic process. It is a decision you and your clinician would make based on the overall effectiveness of therapy.
What are the benefits of telehealth?
Improved access to counseling as it can virtually be done anywhere where privacy can be upheld. This is also a plus for areas in Tennessee that don’t provide a lot of counseling services within a reasonable distance.
HIPPA compliant software (this means that as long as you are in a private, confidential space that your sessions will uphold the same confidentiality and in-person session would have).
More options in terms of scheduling as you do not have to factor in things such as drive time/traffic etc. and can even be scheduled during lunch breaks at work etc.
Continuity of care (as in the pandemic that affected us all when Covid began, telehealth still allows services to continue).
Reduction of exposure to infections such as the flu, covid, strep throat etc. By doing telehealth, you reduce the potential to spread illness or becoming ill from others.
