VIDEO/PHONE-BASED THERAPY
Mental health therapy for people in remote areas of Tennessee, in home-bound situations, or in need of portability of services.
WHAT IS VIDEO/PHONE-BASED THERAPY?
Video/Phone-based therapy refers to therapy that is provided through the use of either a telephone conversation or video call. This specific offering of therapy can be beneficial for individuals who have difficulty making it to the office for a face-to-face session.
Reasons for this option are as varied as the individuals themselves. Some people live in remote locations of Tennessee and are unable to find a practitioner close to them or a therapist with a similar approach to my way of conducting therapy. Others might live in a small town and feel that they want a therapist outside of their area to provide services without having to drive a long distance. Still others may be unable to leave their residences due to health concerns or agoraphobia.
If you feel you are in a similar situation or you have a reason for needing these services, feel free to reach out so that we can discuss your options. I strive to provide services that are adapted to individualized experiences.
Video-based sessions are done through Doxy.me, a HIPAA compliant video conferencing tool that feels similar to FaceTime or Skype. All that is required is access to internet and a camera, and I simply send you a link. Clients report that this software is incredibly easy to use. Phone-based sessions are done simply through auditory telephone conversation. While phone sessions can be limiting in terms of observing non-verbal communication, some individuals find it helpful for check-in sessions that do not require a drive to the office.
Please note that this therapy style does come with limitations. I am only able to provide these services for residents of the state of Tennessee, due to national licensure issues within the mental health counseling field. Additionally, some clients find a certain connection is lost when not in a face-to-face session. and Some practices require in-person appointments, such reiki and nature-based therapy. That being said, certain other styles of therapy also lend themselves to this approach, such as traditional talk or integrative psychotherapy.
