Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Online Therapy Cost in South Dakota?

Can Therapy Be Done Online?
Yes. Therapy conducted online is also known as online therapy (or teletherapy). Similar to a private in-person session, a South Dakota licensed therapist or counselor interacts with the patient through the use of devices such as a computer or smartphone.
What Do Therapists Use For Online Therapy?
Since the pandemic, more therapists are connecting with their patients through established online therapy platforms such as PlushCare. These platforms are set up with functionalities such as live chats, video conferencing, and messaging. They allow licensed South Dakota therapists to conduct sessions with their patients securely online.
Is In-Person Therapy Better Than Online Therapy?
It depends. In most cases, patients find teletherapy to be as effective as in-person sessions for a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression. In addition, online therapy has benefits such as helping you save time, save money, and remain COVID-19 safe.
However, online therapy is not for those with serious mental health conditions who need to meet with a mental health professional in person. Online therapy may not be a good fit for those without access to reliable internet access or supporting technology.
What If I Can’t Afford Therapy?
It is always wise to do some research and shop around for therapy that fits your budget before you start your therapy journey. Always check if your insurance carrier covers therapy. Other affordable options to consider are community mental health centers and online therapy apps. Online therapy may be a more affordable option than in-person therapy.
