Telehealth Therapy Services In Springfield

Telehealth therapy is a groundbreaking alternative to traditional counseling, allowing you to start 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 formats. Online therapy sessions can be the ideal solution for clients who feel less inhibited at home or have minimal free time.

Northeast Family Services in Springfield ensures that you will receive the same level of quality service from our virtual therapy as you would from an office appointment. Our team will assist you whenever you’re ready and answer any questions you may have.

Who Can Online Therapy Help?

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. While many people benefit greatly from meeting with a therapist in person, that route is not optimal for everyone. Telehealth therapy is recommended for clients with the following considerations:

  • Anyone seeking a convenient way to start addressing trauma, depression, relationship struggles, grief, work/life balance, eating disorders, OCD, and more.
  • People who enjoy the comfort of remote sessions, whether due to anxiety, social-distancing concerns, or personal preference.
  • Individuals with a busy schedule who only have a few minutes during the day for therapy and would not be able to receive treatment otherwise.
  • Those facing chronic illnesses, physical disabilities, a lack of available childcare, or other issues that make travel difficult.
  • Clients looking to save money, as teletherapy typically costs less than traditional therapy methods.

How It Works

Step 1:
Getting Started

One of the best aspects of online therapy is that it’s easy to set up and begin sessions, even for those with minimal experience using audiovisual software. After you complete an initial questionnaire, we will match 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. We provide flexible appointment times, including after-work or school options, allowing you to choose a time that works best for your schedule. 

Step 2:
What To Expect

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 joining the call. Your therapist will begin 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 the duration of the scheduled session. It’s exactly like an office visit, carried out remotely from home or a location of your choosing.

Step 3:
How To Prepare

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 getting cozy in your bedroom or office, using earbuds so only you can hear the therapist, or even going to the park and finding a secluded spot. What’s important is creating an environment where you can feel at ease and avoid being interrupted. What works best will differ from client to client. 

Benefits of Remote Therapy

The advantages of teletherapy cannot be understated. This innovative method of mental health support breaks down barriers and provides a viable option for people who feel unrepresented by traditional therapeutic options. Reasons to consider virtual therapy include:

Online therapy removes geographical constraints, enabling people to access therapy services from anywhere with an internet connection, including remote or rural areas.

Clients can schedule therapy at times that suit their needs without commuting to a physical office, making it easier to integrate sessions into busy lifestyles.

Telehealth therapy offers incredible flexibility in session lengths and methods of contact, including video calls, phone calls, or messaging, so clients can choose what feels right for them.

Virtual therapy means that clients can experience therapy from the comfort of their own home, fostering a low-stress and familiar environment, encouraging openness and emotional honesty.

Teletherapy allows clients to reach out for support between sessions through various communication channels, offering timely assistance during difficult moments.

Online therapy eliminates transportation and office overhead costs, making it more cost-effective than traditional in-person therapy.

Telehealth therapy provides access to a broader range of therapists with unique specialties, approaches, and backgrounds, allowing clients to find the perfect match for their needs.

For individuals who travel frequently or relocate, online therapy ensures continuity of care by allowing them to continue sessions with the same therapist, no matter where they are.

 

Virtual therapy platforms often integrate interactive features, resources, and multimedia elements to enhance engagement and enrich the therapeutic process.

Some patients may find it easier to discuss sensitive or stigmatized topics online, where they can maintain a higher level of anonymity compared to face-to-face conversations.
