Online counseling is pretty easy. Upon calling for an initial appointment, just inform me that you prefer Telemental Health sessions. Then we will discuss whether Telemental Health is the right fit for you and your next steps.
Yes, it is, just like an in-person session! The Telehealth platform used is encrypted and HIPAA-compliant.
Maybe. Since Telehealth (i.e. online counseling) is still evolving, some healthcare insurance companies haven't caught up yet. Some do and some don't. It is recommended that you call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to ask if your policy will reimburse for out-of-network Telehealth sessions with a psychologist.
