Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about online therapy:

How does online therapy work? What if I’m not internet-savvy?

Our video program is very easy to use. At the time of your appointment, just click on the link that your therapist sends you, type in your name, and your therapist will join the video session shortly thereafter. If you need to do a phone session, just let your therapist know in advance so they know to call you at the time of your appointment.

But isn’t therapy supposed to be in person? Does it work online?

Online and telephone therapy is not new. People have been using it for many years. There is research that shows that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy.

What if I don’t have a private place to talk in my home?

Great question. With so many people at home right now, this is a common problem. Some helpful solutions:

• Use headphones or earbuds.
• Go into your car.
• Do walk-and-talk therapy by wearing earbuds or headphones and walking through your neighborhood. This also provides you with an opportunity to get out in the fresh air, which is helpful for your mental health.
• Ask your therapist to schedule your appointment at a time when the other people in your house will be working, out for a walk, or asleep.
