Online Counseling
(also called, telemental health, telehealth or telemedicine) allows the facilitation of health-related services to patients via live video conferencing. This ease of access to make video calls has revolutionized the health industry, allowing medical professionals to interact with patients through a convenient phone call.
Thanks to modern technology, just about everyone in the U.S. has a smart phone or tablet capable of video chat. Using your smart phone, computer, or tablet, you can attend counseling sessions from your home.
Online appointments can be very beneficial if getting to an in-person appointment is difficult. If you lack the time or resources to use public transportation, are physically disabled or live in a remote area, online appointments can help by removing the need to leave your home to attend an appointment.
In the United States, approximately 80 million people have inadequate health insurance, or no health insurance at all. Online counseling can be more affordable for clients paying out of pocket.
So if this sounds like you:
- You don’t have the right type of medical professional nearby
- You lack the time or resources to get to an in-person medical appointment
- You want the ease and convenience of a video conference appointment
… then online services may be just what you need.
The convenience of scheduling an appointment through a phone app cannot be understated. Quickly pick a date and time, and you’ve scheduled your online appointment. There’s no need to get ready, or even leave your bed or couch. If you have social anxiety or phobias that cause you to avoid social interactions, online counseling makes it easier for you to get therapy or medication.
