Online counseling, also known as telemental health is a growing field. Telemental health is here to stay and recent research shows it is as effective as traditional counseling, in most cases. Online counseling can save you time and also allows for greater availability for sessions.
It means that you can be certain that the same principles that make traditional counseling effective are present in online counseling. Online counseling is regulated by the state and my counseling license is valid, and will be for years to come. You can know refer anyone that resides in the state of Ohio for counseling, regardless of their physical location. Online counseling allows you to go to counseling from the comforts, security and privacy of your own home at times when an office would normally be closed.
Since we take serious the call to infuse the counseling process with hope we know this format will also be one dripping with hope from beginning to end. The internet and social media so often becomes a play of hopelessness that this is one area online counseling can turn this medium around for hope and healing, all with you in mind.
Online counseling helps you to refer those close to you without the need to travel distances, get caught in traffic, be concerned with questions about what office you are going to. It also helps to bridge the gap between services available and those who can receive them. This move also means that you will have another option in regards to mental health and we will be able to expand our services in different directions, more on this in another post later this week.
The environment, care, comfort, and professionalism that clients have enjoyed from our office setting will still be the same online as regardless of where we help others my values and mission is still the same: instilling professional counseling with hope so you can begin the healing journey.
