Teletherapy

Travel time: Depending on the size of your city, and the location of your home or work, commuting to therapy can be an extra 15, 30, 60, or even 90 minutes to your day. In an ever-busy world, we know just how precious our time is. This added commute can sometimes lead to compromising other parts of your day, like self-care or time with family. With online therapy, there is no commute. It can be done wherever you are; in the office, in the car, at your camp, or in your living room!

Confidentiality: Unfortunately, therapy still carries a stigma; some are fearful of being seen coming and going from a marked office door that reads something along the lines of, “Counseling Services”, or “Alicia Murray, licensed mental health therapist”. With online counseling, there is complete confidentiality; no one will see you coming and going from therapy. Therapy can be as sacred as you want it to be. We would hope you share the wonderful changes you are working on with your loved ones, but if you choose to keep this to yourself, online therapy will allow you to do so, completely.

Childcare: Some clients struggle with coordinating childcare, or having to cancel or reschedule appointments when childcare falls through last minute. With online therapy, there is flexibility in scheduling your therapy sessions around naps, bedtimes, babysitters, or other creative measures to allow yourself 30-45 minutes of alone time to engage in your session.

Missed sessions due to work or other things: With traditional therapy, you would need to be able to physically show up to your therapist’s office at your designated appointment time. But, life happens. With online therapy, we are able to meet with you so long as you are anywhere within Connecticut. Let’s talk!

You can see the immense benefits of online therapy; it is flexible, there is no travel time, it is confidential, and can be done in nearly any location you find yourself in. It truly allows you to fit it in your schedule. Your wellness is priority.
