Telehealth or “online counseling” helps to address some of the roadblocks that get in the way of starting or continuing counseling.

Maybe mental health support is limited where you live, maybe your schedule doesn’t allow you to make it for an in-office session, or maybe you can’t find anyone who specializes in the issues you are dealing with. Online counseling offers a solution.

Telehealth itself is similar to in-person counseling except that it provides the convenience of doing sessions without all the legwork of getting to a physical office. Instead, sessions are facilitated over a secure video-conference platform and you can participate from home, school, work, vacation and more.

In addition, you get the added benefit of working with a therapist who is the best fit for you even if they aren’t located nearby. As a clinician licensed in Montana, I am able to offer services to clients located anywhere in the state. All you need is a smartphone or laptop/computer/tablet with a video camera, audio/microphone capabilities, and internet access.

I use Doxy.me to provide HIPAA compliant telehealth service. If you choose teletherapy I cannot guarantee the same privacy as I can for in-person settings. I offer teletherapy from my office, but confidentiality may depend upon where you choose to have the session.

When you verify your insurance coverage be sure and inquire about telehealth coverage for behavioural health. Most of the large companies have continued to offer this since Covid-19.
