Online counseling in Wisconsin
Can I do therapy from home?
I offer telehealth throughout the state of Wisconsin for both adults and teens. I do all of my free consultations via video call so you can see exactly what being in therapy with me might be like. If you have any questions or concerns about using telehealth for counseling, or if you have concerns about your internet connection or how to choose an appropriate location, then please feel free to reach out. Of course, you can always schedule a free consult to see what you think!
FAQs about virtual counseling:
Will my session be confidential and secure?
I use a secure and HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, Doxy.me. You can read more about their security standards on their website. I go to the same lengths to ensure confidentiality online that I would for an in-person session. Your privacy matters to me, and on my end, no one will have access to our session except for the two of us. However, with telehealth, some of the responsibility of ensuring a private therapy session will rely on you - you must ensure that you are in a secure and private location in order to be sure that your therapy session is confidential.
What are the benefits and risks of online counseling?
Online counseling has been found to be just as effective as in-person counseling. Some of the benefits of online counseling include convenience and flexibility, while some risks include technological difficulties or interruptions in service. You can read The American Psychological Association’s guide to online therapy to help determine if telehealth is the right option for you. I also welcome questions and would love to help you decide if online counseling is a good fit!
What happens if we get disconnected?
If we experience connectivity issues for longer than two minutes, and we are more than fifteen minutes into our session, then I will call you so that we can continue the session via phone. If we are less than fifteen minutes into our session and our connectivity issues are a barrier to us continuing the session, then we will reschedule and you will not be charged.
