Yes! Multiple research studies confirm that virtual therapy leads to equivalent or better outcomes than in-person therapy. Clients often enjoy the convenience and comfort of accessing therapy from home. Virtual therapy is not for everyone, however. If you have an active substance abuse addiction or a more complex mental health condition, more intensive in-person treatment may be recommended.
I conduct virtual sessions in a private, and secure space. I use a fully HIPAA-compliant tele-health platform, which means the software I use meets the strict legal standards set by the U.S. government to protect sensitive patient health data from being leaked, stolen, or seen by anyone unauthorized. That said, with anything at all that is done online, there is a small level of risk.
You will need access to a phone, computer, ipad/ tablet that has audio and video capabilities, as well as a reliable internet connection for tele-health sessions. It is also very important that you a secure and private location to ensure that you are comfortable and safe.
