Online therapy that takes insurance is available at Serenity Space Therapy and we accept various types of insurance for the maximum convenience of our clients. Of course, private payment is also an option if you don’t have or want to use insurance.
Virtual couples therapy or virtual individual therapy is a great option for anyone looking to work on becoming their best self with science-based methods. It is especially beneficial for people who live in remote areas, have tight schedules, or face limited childcare options.
Online mental health counseling is more than a great alternative to in-person sessions at our Fort Lauderdale or Naples locations—science has found that it can lead to an equally successful outcome and help people embrace tranquility and joy by helping them adopt effective coping mechanisms and fresh perspectives.
At Serenity Space Therapy, we believe it’s never too late to start working on your well-being. Schedule a telehealth appointment with our experienced counselors and therapists today. The first consultation is free!
Telehealth Is Beneficial
Scientific evidence indicates that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person counseling for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. The rapid advancement of telehealth happened during the COVID-19 pandemic when doctors' offices, hospitals, and mental health centers reduced their in-person visits and increased their virtual health services to comply with the proposed measures for distancing and isolation.
Telehealth psychotherapy was particularly in demand due to the higher number of people who had negative mental effects from being in quarantine, experiencing increased loneliness, and struggling with the sudden loss of loved ones. Today, the pandemic is behind us, yet online counseling remains an incredibly beneficial form of therapy.
You can benefit from online counseling if any of this sounds familiar to you:
● Traffic exhausts you
Dealing with congested traffic before or after counseling can get stressful and draining. You can easily prevent this by choosing online counseling. Skip the commute and focus on what truly matters: your mental and emotional well-being.
● You live in a remote area
Living in a remote area doesn’t mean you should miss out on good health care. Online counseling is a great way to connect to experienced counselors and therapists no matter your location, accessing the needed support without driving for hours.
● You already drive a lot
Between family, work, and everything else that could happen in 24 hours, it may seem impossible to fit an in-person therapy session in our Fort Lauderdale or Naples offices. The good news is that we offer online counseling to ensure you never skip a session on your healing path.
● Your partner is away
If you’re attending couples therapy online and your partner is currently out of town or you’re in a long-distance relationship, online counseling is a great way to keep up the progress during your sessions. Work on your relationship enhancement and communication no matter your location!
● You can’t arrange childcare
If you have children and can’t find time away from them, virtual therapy is a great way to care for yourself and your mental health without having to be away from your family. Sounds like quite the plan, doesn’t it?
● You feel the safest at home
If a familiar surrounding helps you open up, allow us to guide you during online counseling and discover meaningful insights for a more confident and fulfilled life from your home.
Online counseling has many benefits to offer, here are the best ones:
● You won’t need to fight traffic after a long day to get to your session. Our team of highly-rated therapists and counselors is at your disposal regardless of location via our secure and safe telehealth Florida platform, saving you precious time and money.
● You can stay consistent easily if you attend the sessions from the comfort of your home. Consistency in therapy is a major contributing factor to success and management of symptoms. So, wherever you are in Florida or Arizona, we’re here to meet your therapy needs!
● You won’t need to arrange childcare for your kids as you and your partner can participate in therapy without leaving home.
● You can easily find a therapist or a counselor specializing in a specific area of concern. Serenity Space Therapy’s team of dedicated therapists and counselors is at your disposal for anxiety, depression, narcissistic abuse, relationship issues, anger management, trauma, etc.
● You can avoid spending long hours in the waiting room which often adds up to the stress and anxiety and cause you to have an overall unpleasant experience.
● You don’t need to compromise your health to get to therapy. You can continue your sessions from the comfort of your home, even when you’re feeling under the weather.
Online counseling is an effective and convenient method to address problems like anxiety, depression, panic attacks, relationship struggles, or recovery from narcissistic abuse. However, online therapy isn’t appropriate for people in active crisis! If you or your loved one have suicidal thoughts or feel that you may hurt yourself or someone else, please call the national suicide prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, call 911, or visit the nearest emergency room!
How Does an Online Therapy Session Work?
Online mental health counseling sessions at Serenity Space Therapy are designed to replicate the traditional counseling experience of our cozy offices in Fort Lauderdale or Naples but with the added convenience and comfort of participating from your own home. Our clients join sessions using our secure and HIPAA-certified telehealth platform ensuring that every conversation is private and confidential.
Nearly all of our clients (75%) find online therapy more convenient than in-person sessions.
Before the first session, we send you a link to enter our virtual office. If you’re joining with your partner and they’re at a different location, you can both access the virtual office with one click.
Virtual therapy sessions with our experienced therapists and counselors generally last 55 minutes and we schedule them weekly or otherwise, depending on the client’s needs, goals, and lifestyle. Payment is required for all subsequent sessions, except for the initial free consultation. Even with full insurance coverage, our policies require submission of credit card information. Credit card information must be submitted when the rest of the paperwork is completed. Fees are due at the beginning or end of each session unless other agreements have been agreed upon.
What Do I Need for Online Therapy?
Getting ready for therapy online with Serenity Space Therapy is so easy! If you can stream a movie or a video, your internet connection is likely enough. We asked our team to share their firsthand tips to ensure a seamless session and a great first experience:
● Find a cozy, private spot
Pick a place in your home where you have privacy and feel safe, for example, the bedroom or a quiet cozy spot in the backyard.
● Working camera and microphone
Most phones, tablets, and laptops today are perfect for telehealth platforms. Before the session, check your microphone and camera so that we can hear and see each other.
● Good Wi-Fi
Stable Wi-Fi is essential for seamless virtual therapy sessions. Choose a spot in your home where the Wi-Fi works the best for a steady connection.
● Get some peace
Set your phone on Silent or DND to avoid interruptions. This is time just for you so make the most of it.
Is Online Therapy As Effective As Face-to-Face Therapy?
A growing body of research emphasizes that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy and an increasing number of people are exploring this format. Online counseling from the comfort of your home is also a great opportunity to nourish the client-therapist connection which is essential for a positive therapy outcome.
Online counseling also helps reduce the stigma associated with seeking mental health support, eliminates commute-related stress, and saves precious time. We have noticed that many of our clients find online therapy to enhance their experience because they are meeting us from the comfort and familiarity of their homes. This environment often allows them to open up more quickly, easily, and calmly, leading to breakthroughs sooner than expected.
To learn if online therapy is a good fit for you, we invite you to schedule a free consultation. We’ll discuss any questions you may have, and we’ll work to determine the best format for you.
Virtual therapy is a great way to invest in your personal growth and better mental health by addressing your anxiety, depression, relationship issues, etc. However, we want to emphasize that online therapy is never an option for people who are currently in a mental health crisis. If you or your loved one have suicidal thoughts or feel like you might hurt yourself or others, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
