Northeast Family Services in Brooklyn is dedicated to offering virtual therapy that is just as effective as our in-person sessions. If you’re ready to begin, our team is here to answer any questions you may have and help you match with the perfect therapist.
Therapy is most effective when it’s personalized to the patient. While many clients benefit from face-to-face sessions, it may not be the best route for everyone. Telehealth therapy is recommended for the following clients:

Starting online therapy is straightforward and user-friendly, even for those unfamiliar with audiovisual software. After completing an initial questionnaire, we will match you with a therapist from our network who has the appropriate background or specialization for your unique situation. All our certified counselors are experts in their field. We also offer flexible scheduling designed around your availability, including after work or school sessions.
On the day of your appointment, you’ll connect with your therapist via an online conferencing platform or by phone. Simply follow the provided links or wait for our call. Your therapist will build a rapport with you, listen to your concerns, and gradually develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. These sessions play out exactly like an in-office visit but they’re conducted remotely.
Choose a location for your therapy call where you can avoid potential interruptions and speak candidly. This might be your bedroom, home office, backyard patio, or a spot at your local park or coffee shop that is relatively secluded. The goal is to create an environment that enhances your session. The optimal location varies from client to client and is ultimately a matter of preference.
Teletherapy is a life-changing service in many ways. This innovative mental health support method breaks down barriers and offers an effective alternative for those who feel excluded by traditional counseling models. The key benefits of virtual therapy include:
Clients have the freedom to schedule appointments whenever it’s right for them, eliminating the need to visit a physical office. This flexibility is perfect for those who may struggle to find time for traditional therapy sessions.
Telehealth therapy offers varying session lengths and contact methods, such as video calls, phone calls, and messaging. This allows clients to choose the format that best suits their needs and preferences, giving them more control over their treatment process.
Engaging in therapy from a familiar, comfortable environment helps reduce anxiety, promoting greater emotional openness and honesty. Clients are free to choose a private setting they believe will enhance the therapeutic experience.
Virtual therapy provides opportunities for support between sessions through a number of different communication channels. This ensures that clients can receive timely assistance during challenging moments or when they need to reschedule.
By cutting down on transportation and office-related expenses, online therapy becomes a more cost-effective option. Clients are able to save money while still receiving high-quality mental health services.
Telehealth expands the pool of available therapists, granting access to professionals with diverse specialties, approaches, and backgrounds. This increases the likelihood of finding a therapist who is perfect for the client’s specific needs.
Online therapy supports ongoing treatment with the same therapist, even if clients relocate or travel frequently. This continuity is crucial for maintaining steady progress and achieving long-term therapeutic goals.
Virtual therapy platforms often incorporate interactive features, tools, and multimedia elements that make the therapy process more engaging. These resources can enhance understanding and retention, making therapy more effective.
The online setting makes it easier to discuss sensitive or uncomfortable topics. This increased level of anonymity compared to traditional in-person sessions can help clients feel more secure and willing to open up.
We proudly accept most major insurance plans.
Online therapy has become an invaluable resource in recent years, allowing more people to benefit from counseling than ever before.
