With the onset of COVID-19 two years ago, and the inability to meet psychotherapy clients in person, the business of providing care to clients has gone through a major change with the use of online counseling. Born out of necessity and the need for assuring a healthy environment, therapists have had to adapt to this technology that has been used in the business environment (and in rural areas) for many years. On-line telehealth can be used for diagnosis and treatment of most types of disorders, and include effective therapies/treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), among others.
With the help of these modern tools, Heart and Mind Counseling has also made it the goal to offer its clients accessible and convenient telehealth counseling in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan. We are not just seeing an interest in this type of service from our clients, but indeed, a preference. Why is this? Let me explain:
Convenience!
Therapy in the comfort of your home, office, (or even your car).
This is obviously the most cited reason for the desire for tele-therapy. The same can be said for many healthcare services like office visits and consultations. Whether a client has a busy schedule, limited mobility, lives in a rural area with a long drive to a provider’s office, or just wants to continue to be diligent about ongoing health concerns, Telehealth provides hassle-free, convenient accessibility where previously there was none (or was limited). This process allows a client to see a licensed professional, get the care they need, even if separated by long distances. Heart and Mind Counseling is licensed to serve clients in all over the states of Florida, Michigan, Alabama and Georgia.
In uncertain times, taking care of your mental health is as essential as taking care of your physical well-being. They are often intertwined and a therapist at Heart and Mind Counseling in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Michigan can help.
Privacy!
Complete HIPAA Compliant Privacy, Using Face-to-Face ZOOM Technology
One of the best key features of our telehealth counseling is that our sessions are HIPAA (a federal Health Privacy law) compliant for privacy. Your confidentiality is safe and equivalent (perhaps even better) that face-to-face sessions in a publicly available office space. There are clients that do not want the “stigma” or embarrassment” of entering a therapy office. Teletherapy alleviates this issue. Heart and Mind Counseling uses Zoom (https://zoom.us), an online service trusted by major health systems such as the Mayo Clinic to conduct telehealth counseling in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan.
It Works!
As Effective as Office-Based Therapy
It is estimated that over half of people who need therapy, do not receive it, for myriad reasons. Studies show that on-line therapy is as effective as in-person, and indeed, the expanded access allows more clients to be served. Well trained therapists are skilled at cueing your facial expressions, mannerisms, and tone of voice when meeting on camera. We also have the skills to listen to your voice’s tone and inflection even without the camera to understand how you feel. And perhaps most importantly, if a client feels at ease with the setting, the overall treatment can be more effective, as the client may be more inclined to open up about issues of anxiety, depression or trauma.
