You Didn’t Know You Could Do Online Therapy and You’re Worried It’ll be too Weird
It may seem odd to think about doing some of the most personal work of marriage counseling or individual therapy online, but we’ve found it works really well (sometimes even better than in person)! Online therapy can feel different than in-person work for sure, and it may not be the best fit for everyone.
However, many people find it easier to connect and share on video or phone and are more willing to explore parts of themselves quicker than sitting in a room with someone. We admit, it may feel a little weird at first, but weird is good as far as we’re concerned.
Therapy is All About Connection, You Can Still Connect Through a Computer Screen
Marriage counseling is all about creating a connection between you and your partner, but also a connection with your therapist. We can absolutely accomplish that online as your therapist is trained in how to work virtually, understands the differences between traditional therapy and working online, and is skilled in how to do meaningful work by thinking about teletherapy as a different kind of therapy.
We’ve viewed our work with clients online through this lens, we’ve maintained successful therapy outcomes through the necessary transition of seeing clients during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We Didn’t Stress About Transitioning Online Because we Already Provided Online Therapy!
Many therapists were stressed about figuring out how to move their practices to a virtual space when social distancing orders were put in place. For us, the transition was easy.
We’re confident in the systems that we use and how to implement an effective plan to start or continue therapy. Not only are you able to get your life-changing work done with your therapist, but you can do it without the drive time or wearing real pants.
The Basics of Doing Online Counseling
There are really only a couple of things you need to know about doing therapy online. First, we will take care of the logistics for you, all you’ll need to do is click a link at the time of your appointment. We use HIPAA-compliant software to provide the most protection possible. Second, you don’t have to be in the same physical location as your partner, so if you’re both at work, traveling, or in long-distance relationships, we can do sessions during your lunch breaks.
Next, you’ll need a computer, tablet, or phone with an internet connection and you may want to consider a private location for sessions. Lastly, to utilize online services you (or both of you for marriage counseling) need to be residents of Texas. Other than that, you can visit our FAQs and specialty pages to learn more details about our work.
