Life gets busy and we can’t always fit everything in, the way that we plan to, or want to. Teletherapy has made counseling more accessible to many people across the state of Pennsylvania and the country.

Recently, we all learned a few valuable lessons.

1) That we need to be more flexible and find new ways of doing things.

2) Change is hard but can have benefits.

3) We can all use a little more support in our lives.

I know you are probably wondering what all of this has to do with providing teletherapy. Well here it goes. Teletherapy is a way to get counseling from a variety of locations. If your schedule is busy in the evenings with running errands and various outings, you can attend counseling during the day during your lunch break or before you go into the office. Transportation may be difficult to consistently obtain so now you can attend counseling appointments from your home, porch, or any other private location within the state of Pennsylvania.

This isn’t too good to be true, in fact it gets even better. I use a HIPAA compliant platform for your documentation, communication, and the video sessions to provide as much security for you and your information as possible.

Teletherapy is not that much different than the traditional in office experience. You will still get to see the therapist in real time over the video screen. You will get to use the office environment and have the confidentiality that you would in the office.

Do you need support, but can’t make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don’t have the time to drive across town for an appointment? Do you live in Maryland and want someone different or out of the area? Do you want to find the right fit even if they aren’t in your exact location?

What if teletherapy is the answer for you. Teletherapy aka online counseling allows me to provide counseling to clients via live video conferencing. This can be done anywhere you have a computer or smartphone. The platform that is used is designed for therapy and HIPAA compliant. All you need to do is schedule a time that works with both of our schedules and be in a location that provides you with the confidentiality that you deserve. You get control of your end of the session. I will keep the same level of privacy and confidentiality, online that I do in my office.

Teletherapy appointments can be beneficial if getting to a traditional in-person appointment is not convenient, or you simply just don’t want to. Some clients don’t want to be seen walking into a counseling office. They aren’t comfortable being treated by a person they may see again in their local area. Even though we have professional ethics to follow to protect you, maybe that doesn’t feel like enough, and that’s okay.

You get to have your own reasons to seek counseling outside of your area and even outside of your state. I have been licensed to provide counseling in Maryland for several years now because of the previous work I have done. I have kept the licensing in order to provide online counseling to Maryland residents that need it. Please continue looking through my site and reach out to schedule your consultation.
