LET’S MEET AT YOUR PLACE…
online therapy has many benefits…
Convenience: virtual clients share that they love not having to commute to and from appointments.
Flexibility: Clinicians and clients may have more flexibility around appointment times when they no longer need to come into the office to do them.
Accessibility: Through virtual therapy we can work with clients who might not live close enough to be able to drive to my office or who routinely travel for work or pleasure.
Privacy: For individuals who are prominent in their community and are concerned about potentially knowing people in the waiting room-virtual therapy eliminates these concerns.
Being in your own space: You can do therapy from the comfort of your own home (maybe even with a pet nearby!)
Effective: In my experience, I have found virtual therapy to be as effective as in person therapy. Research also supports that virtual therapy can be just as effective (Hilty, et al., 2013, Maheu, 2015, Quashi, 2015).
online therapy may not be a fit…
If you don’t have a good internet connection (if you can stream Netflix or Youtube videos-that means yours is ok!)
If you are struggling with suicidality and are often unable to commit to safety.
If you are struggling with severe dissociation.
If you don’t have access to a personal computer or cell phone.
A NOTE FROM LISA…
In addition to in-person therapy, I have also provided online/phone therapy for years. I have seen it to be powerful and just as beneficial as in-person sessions, based upon my own clinical experience. If you have any questions about whether online therapy could be right for you, don’t hesitate to ask.
