What is Teletherapy?

At Vibrant Health Counseling we offer teletherapy, but what exactly is teletherapy? 

Imagine receiving counseling services right where you are with no driving across town.

Access to many treatment services have expanded over the last few years thanks due to the ever-expanding evolution of online services. In particular, the Covid-19 pandemic created a unique situation for therapists and the community to become more comfortable receiving services virtually. 

Teletherapy is treatment provided by a licensed and certified therapist through a secure audio and video connection. Clients can interact with their therapist the same way they do during in person sessions, but just from a distance.

Some pros of teletherapy include: 

Increased convenience (fitting into your busy schedule)

Cost savings (decreased fuel expense, lower rates)

Comfort level (opening up more in the comfort of your own home)

Social distancing for health reasons 

Greater accessibility (broader list of providers through the state)

More privacy in some instances (no busy waiting rooms, more confidentiality)

Teletherapy may be beneficial for you in many ways. It’s worth looking into a local provider and seeing if it might be right for you.
