Florida Therapists & Online Counselors

Online Counseling in Florida, Arizona

Offering video sessions at the comfort
of your own home

No Matter where you
live in Florida, Therapy
Can Come to You

Working with people via telehealth is different from sitting across from them, but our clients find online therapy just as effective and appreciate the convenience. Whether you are in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Naples, Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville, or anywhere in between, you can benefit from telehealth therapy sessions in the comfort of your own home.

You can benefit from online counseling if any of this
sounds familiar to you:

  • Traffic congestion would consume time before and after your sessions.

  • You live in remote areas.

  • Driving already takes a lot of time during your week.

  • Your partner is currently out of town. (You still can benefit from couple therapy!)

  • You are in a long-distance relationship.

  • Your childcare options are presently limited.

  • You utterly feel better at home.

How does an online therapy session work?

Your online counseling sessions will be much like traditional therapy but held via a HIPAA-certified telehealth platform. HIPAA-certified means that all the information you share during the session is fully protected. You will receive a link before your first session that will take you to our telehealth office with just one click. If your partner’s location is different, you both will still be able to join the same session together for couples therapy.

Online sessions are 50 minutes and available weekly or according to your goals, needs, and preferences. About 98% of our clients revealed that online therapy was more convenient than traditional therapy.

Online therapy has two great benefits: you don’t have to waste time commuting, and you can unwind in the privacy of your own home. Online therapy is all about offering you much-needed support, flexibility, and accessibility.

What do I need for online therapy?

Teletherapy requires technology, so if you can stream a video or a movie on your device, your internet connection should be suitable for an online therapy session. Before we begin, find the most private and appropriate space for an interrupted session. (Often, my clients choose their bedroom, backyard, or even a car for additional privacy!) Check your phone’s camera and microphone to see if they work correctly. If you are outside your house, ensure you are still connected to your Wi-Fi. For the best uninterrupted experience, turn on Do Not Disturb or Silent mode on your phone.

 

Is online therapy as effective as face-to-face therapy?

Scientists have proven that you can achieve an equally successful outcome via telehealth. The connection between the therapist and the client plays a major role in therapy’s desired outcome. Virtual counseling is capable of establishing this connection just as much as in-person sessions. Studies show that online therapy reduces the stigma associated with getting therapy for mental health, eliminates stress related to a commute, and helps to save time.

Many of my clients find online therapy even more effective because of its accessibility and because familiar surroundings help them open up faster. If you still find yourself debating online therapy versus “in-person,” schedule a free 20-minute consultation with me to explore whether telehealth would work for you. I will help you decide what format would suit your needs in the best possible way.

Online therapy is an excellent and effective way to treat symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationship issues. However, online therapy services are not appropriate if you are actively in crisis. If you have suicidal thoughts or feel that you might hurt yourself or someone else, please call the national suicide prevention suicide Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

 

Online therapy can help you rebuild your self-esteem, reduce worries and sadness, increase motivation & make peace with the unknown.
