Online Mental Health Treatment FAQs
What is virtual therapy?
Also referred to as telehealth counseling or online therapy, virtual therapy enables you to connect with a licensed, professional therapist via a mobile app, desktop, or other online connection. Using an app to connect through secure video, text, or messaging enables you to receive the mental health care you deserve from the convenience of your own home. Forget long commutes and waiting for an available appointment that fits your busy schedule! Instead, plan on meeting your therapist or support group online through a safe and private online connection.
Will online therapy work for me?
Many clients have questions surrounding the efficacy of an online or virtual program for mental health treatment. After extensive research, scientific studies have indicated that virtual therapy is as effective as in-person mental health treatment programs. Due to the convenience of the program, many people are better able to maintain consistent contact with their therapist or support group, which leads to more successful outcomes. Psycamore at Home upholds a commitment from each of our members, so everyone will reap the benefits of consistent and regular groups or individual mental health therapy sessions online.
