Online Therapy in Ohio
Prior to the COVID pandemic, many of my clients were unsure about the idea of receiving online therapy because they were concerned that therapy in this format would feel impersonal or be less effective. Due to COVID, however, the popularity of telehealth services has exploded, with many individuals being pleasantly surprised to find out that it is a lot more helpful than expected. The truth is that online therapy treatment offers a number of advantages.
Benefits of Telehealth
Access to online therapists throughout the entire state rather than just those available locally (I have worked with clients all throughout the state of Ohio)
Easy access to a clinician from the comfort of your own home, saving you the time of driving to and from appointments
Access to a clinician even when a babysitter is not available (I have done many online therapy appointments in which a little one makes a cameo appearance in the background.)
Having the ability to see an online therapist more easily throughout the workday, as clients need to take only a single hour off to accommodate an appointment. Lunch breaks are often ideal for such meetings.
Access to a clinician even when you are ill or unable to make it physically for an appointment

Online Therapy in Ohio is Safe and Accessible
The way that a telehealth appointment works is very similar to a Zoom or Skype call, except that the technology being used has enhanced encryption and is HIPAA-compliant. In addition to video conferencing, telehealth software allows both the therapist and client to share their computer screens with the other, making it simple to review materials together. A simple link, requiring just a single click of the computer mouse, is provided to clients prior to sessions.
Often, clients making use of telehealth services still prefer meeting in-person when possible, but have certain weeks in which they need to meet virtually instead. Having this option helps ensure good continuity of online therapy services and can help prevent missed appointments from slowing therapy progress. Also, because it requires the mere click of the mouse on my end, switching from an in-person to a virtual meeting, even at the last minute, is very easy to accommodate.
