Telehealth Therapy Services

Telehealth therapy is a groundbreaking 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 formats. For clients who feel less inhibited at home or have minimal free time, online therapy sessions can be the perfect solution. 

Northeast Family Services guarantees that you will receive the same level of 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.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Online Therapy?

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: 

  • 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 just personal preference. 
  • Individuals with a busy schedule who only have a few minutes during the day for therapy and would not be able to undergo treatment otherwise. 
  • Those facing chronic illnesses, physical disabilities, a lack of available childcare, or other hardships that make travel difficult. 
  • Clients looking to save money, since teletherapy normally costs less than more traditional therapy methods.

How Does It Work?

Step 1:
Getting Started

The beauty of online therapy is that it’s easy to set up and begin taking sessions, even for those with minimal experience using audiovisual technology. After you complete an initial questionnaire, we will then match you with the ideal therapist on our staff who is best equipped to meet your needs. All of our certified therapists are masters in their field and come with different types of master-level specializations. From there, we provide flexible appointment times, allowing you to pick one that works best for your schedule. After-work or school options are available.

Step 2:
What To Expect

On the day of your appointment, you will be able to connect with your therapist on a virtual-conferencing platform or phone. It’s as simple as following the provided links and entering the call. Your therapist will then start getting to know you, listening to anything you want to discuss, and creating a treatment plan to support you through your daily life. This will continue for however long the session is scheduled to last. It’s exactly like an in-office visit; you’re simply doing it remotely at the location of your choice. 

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 so you can get the most out of your treatment. This may involve closing yourself off in your bedroom or office, putting on earbuds so only you can hear the therapist, or even going to the park and finding an isolated spot. All that’s important is creating an environment where you can feel at ease and avoid potential interruptions. What works best for one client may be completely different from another. 

The Benefits

Some have been alluded to so far, but the benefits of teletherapy cannot be understated. This revolutionary method of mental health support is breaking down barriers and providing a viable option for people who feel marginalized by traditional therapeutic options. There are many reasons to schedule virtual therapy, including:

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

 Clients can arrange for therapy at times that suit their schedule without needing to commute to a physical office, making it easier to integrate sessions into busy, on-the-go lifestyles.

Telehealth therapy provides 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.

Teletherapy allows clients to reach out for support between official sessions through a variety of communication channels, offering timely assistance during difficult moments or when scheduling problems arise.

Online therapy eliminates the expenses related to transportation and office overhead, making it more cost-effective than traditional in-person therapy. 

Telehealth therapy grants 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 can ensure continuity of care by allowing them to keep having sessions with the same therapist, no matter where they are.

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

Some patients might find it easier to broach sensitive or stigmatized topics online, where they can maintain a higher level of anonymity compared to in-person conversations.
