I exclusively provide Teletherapy services to those who are a resident of Texas. Teletherapy is therapy via a webcam instead of in the therapist’s office. Teletherapy is helpful when you cannot make it to the therapist’s office or do not live within driving distance of the therapist. Besides driving costs and time, teletherapy is also easier to schedule.
However, teletherapy is not without its downside. As we are not face-to-face, communicating and understanding each other may be harder. Body language is more difficult to read, and technical interruptions may sometimes occur. Also, it is riskier than face-to-face therapy as someone could eavesdrop on the session, even if security is in place.
For all teletherapy sessions, I use a service called Psychology Today Sessions. This service is HIPAA compliant and encrypts the video and audio feed. This means it would be extremely difficult for our sessions to be viewable by others; however, it is not foolproof. Unlike therapists who use Skype, I use Psychology Today Sessions to protect your confidentially.
