Benefits of Virtual Counseling in West Bloomfield

There are many advantages to online counseling. Here are a few ways teletherapy can benefit you.

Getting out is a challenge. Perhaps it is difficult to leave home because of a physical disability, young children to care for, or you are at high risk for health complications. Online counseling can simplify your life. 

No commuting. Travel time and dealing with traffic can be a hassle. If you don’t have transportation, going to therapy can be an even more significant challenge. Telehealth counseling does away with these problems.

Save money. With online counseling, you can save on transportation costs.

Privacy. Suppose you have been avoiding therapy because you fear running into someone you know. In that case, online counseling can provide you peace of mind.  

How to Choose a Virtual Therapist in West Bloomfield, Michigan

Choosing a telehealth counselor is very similar to selecting a therapist for in-person counseling with a couple of additional considerations. When selecting an online counselor, following these guidelines will help ensure a safe, positive experience.

1. Whether you meet in-person or virtually, your therapist should be licensed, which state law requires of therapists.
2. Also, your therapist must be licensed in the same state in which you reside. Every state has specific licensing criteria for mental healthcare professionals. Whether practitioners offer virtual or in-person sessions, they may only practice within the state(s) in which they are licensed.
3. Make sure the app or website for your counseling sessions is secure and HIPAA compliant. Ask your therapist or do some research online to determine if the app or website has the necessary measures to protect your privacy and identity.
4. Does the online counselor you are considering accept your preferred payment method? If your insurance provides behavioral health coverage, talk to your therapist and insurance company to determine if virtual therapy sessions are covered. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many insurance companies now cover virtual therapy.
