Online mental health benefits
Online mental health services are more convenient, comfortable, and affordable than in-person counseling services. Here are just some of the substantial benefits that online counseling offers:
Affordability
Mental health services can be costly, and some health insurance plans don't fully cover therapy or medication costs. Most online therapists in private practice charge the same fee for in-person or online sessions. Our online counseling services are much more affordable than in-person therapists.
We offer a rate of $169 for a single therapy session or $149 for weekly sessions. Please note that our online therapy services vary between states, so make sure to check to see what's available where you live.
Convenience
With mental health counseling online, you can speak to a licensed therapist whenever and wherever you are most comfortable.
Traditional therapy has limited appointment availability, and there is often a wait before your first appointment. If you are seeking emotional support during a difficult time, availability and timeliness are crucial. Our online therapy programs allow you to find a licensed therapist and get the support you need as soon as today.
There is no need to take extra time off of work to travel to an in person therapy appointment. With travel time not being an issue, it is easy to get mental health care that fits your schedule.
Accessibility
If you live in an area where nearby therapy options are scarce, you can easily access our online therapy from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Our online therapy program lets you see a licensed therapist who practices anywhere in the state you live in, so you’re not limited by geography.
Reduced stigma
Fortunately, the stigma surrounding mental health and getting care for mental health issues is decreasing. However, with online therapy platforms, your sessions are simply between you and your therapist.
Online therapy makes it easy to treat mental health conditions with complete privacy if you choose to. The ease of access and scheduling flexibility that comes with online counseling makes it even easier to keep therapy sessions private.
Comfort
In a survey by the American Psychological Association, 98% of patients rated their online therapy sessions as more convenient and comfortable than traditional in person therapy.
It can be easier to open up to somebody on a screen from the comfort of your home, than in-person in a therapist's office. You also might feel less self-conscious when you're not in the same room as someone.
Frequency and consistency
Since you can fit online therapy sessions around your schedule and don't have to worry about a commute to in office therapy, you can increase the frequency of your sessions. Online therapy allows you to see a licensed mental health professional more consistently so that you can start to feel better faster.
Since you can select a time that works for your schedule, it's easier to stay consistent with your online therapy. More frequent and consistent therapy sessions have been shown to correlate with more meaningful and lasting changes.
Diverse therapists
With online therapy, you have access to a diverse selection of licensed therapists, so you can find the one that best fits your needs.
Our online therapists have a wide range of expertise in various specialties and treatment modalities within various types of communities. You can chat with an online therapist to see if they're a good fit, making it even easier to find the perfect match for you and your unique needs.
Medication management
If one of our licensed therapists recommends medication for you, our care team makes it easy to get in contact with one of our board licensed medical doctors. Our physicians can assist with a mental health diagnosis and prescribe medication. This can save you the effort of having to be referred to a physician outside of the therapy practice and wait a longer time before your first session.
If you or your therapist think you could benefit from a mental health prescription, it's easy to get in touch with our doctors. If the doctor decides that you qualify, they can prescribe medication and send the electronic prescription to your nearest pharmacy for pick up.
