5 Reason to pursue Online Counseling Services
Have you ever thought about seeing your counselor online? There are so many reasons to consider online services….things like convenience in that you don’t have to deal with traffic - which saves your time and energy. Utilizing online services is also better for the overall carbon footprint.
And like traditional in-office counseling, your privacy will be protected by me and offered via a convenient HIPAA compliant platform. But, the most important reason for online counseling services is - it works!
I have to admit that originally, prior to the pandemic, the idea of working with a client remotely was foreign to me.
I couldn’t fully imagine how it might feel. Would the interpersonal ‘connection’ that puts the magic in therapy that happens in office really be there? Would we be successful in focusing on the clients concerns and work together to help the client move forward? Despite these concerns - In light of the virus- I made a quick decision in the interest of public health to immediately offer all services remotely.
Now, I'm so glad I did!
The first time I held an online session with a client resolved those “connection’ concerns for me! I was delighted to find that through online therapy not only was the connection between us, but both the client and I felt great about the outcome!
She loved the convenience of being able to fit the therapy into her busy schedule, not having to deal with traffic, and she did not feel so rushed trying to get to and from my office. Like therapy in my office, we were able to discuss her life concerns, establish next steps for her to keep moving forward in her life, and to create a plan - helping her to identify and utilize her resources. In her experience, she said she hoped that I would always offer remote counseling - even after the virus was over. We ended the session with some action items in her hand to focus on through the next week.
EMDR therapy also works extremely well online. I've had clients who had previously done EMDR therapy in office find that they much prefer it online, and they like that they don't have to drive afterwards if they've had an emotional session.
