Telehealth therapy is a revolutionary alternative to traditional counseling, allowing you to begin treatment from the comfort of your home. Our network of certified therapists will help you address a wide variety of mental health concerns through video chat and other methods. For clients who feel more comfortable at home or have limited free time, online therapy sessions can be the perfect solution.
Northeast Family Services in Chicago guarantees that you will receive the same high-quality service from our virtual therapy as you would from an office appointment. Our team is ready to assist you whenever you’re ready and to answer any questions you may have.
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all undertaking. While many people greatly benefit from meeting with a therapist face-to-face, that route is not optimal for everyone. Telehealth therapy is recommended for clients with the following considerations:

The beauty of online therapy is that it’s easy to set up and begin sessions, even for those with minimal experience using audiovisual technology. After completing an initial questionnaire, we will math you with the ideal therapist on our staff who is best equipped to meet your needs. All of our certified therapists are experts in their field and come with various master-level specializations. From there, we provide flexible appointment times, allowing you to choose a time that works best for your schedule. After-work or school options are available.
On the day of your appointment, you will connect with your therapist via a virtual-conferencing platform or on your phone. It’s as simple as following the provided links and entering the call. Your therapist will start by getting to know you, listening to your concerns, and creating a treatment plan to support you in your daily life. This will continue for however long the session is scheduled to last. It’s just like an in-office visit, only done remotely from your chosen location.
Where you take your therapy call is ultimately up to you. However, we suggest finding a location that is private and comfortable to get the most out of your treatment. This might mean closing yourself off in your bedroom or office, using earbuds so only you can hear the therapist, or even going to the park and finding an isolated spot. What’s important is creating an environment where you can feel at ease and avoid interruptions. What works best for one client may differ for another.
Online therapy breaks down geographical barriers, allowing individuals to access therapy services from anywhere with an internet connection, even remote or rural areas.

Clients can participate in therapy from the comfort of their own home, creating a more relaxed and familiar environment. This can lead to increased openness and honesty during sessions.
Online therapy offers the flexibility for clients to reach out for support between scheduled sessions via messaging or other communication channels, providing timely assistance during challenging moments.
Online therapy can be more cost-effective than traditional in-person therapy, as it eliminates expenses related to transportation and office overhead.
Online therapy provides access to a wider range of therapists with various specialties and backgrounds, allowing clients to find the best match for their needs.
Online therapy can provide continuity of care for individuals who travel frequently or relocate, allowing them to continue working with the same therapist regardless of their location.
Online therapy platforms often incorporate interactive tools, resources, and multimedia content to enhance engagement and support the therapeutic process.
Some individuals may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or stigmatized topics online, where they can maintain a greater degree of anonymity compared to face-to-face interactions.
