TELEHEALTH & ONLINE THERAPY
Telehealth & Online Mental Health Therapy Services in Boca Raton and Anywhere in Florida
I offer Telehealth and online therapy sessions. I've created the Q&A below to help answer any questions you may have about my online therapy services in order to help you feel more comfortable with this option. Please contact me with any additional questions, if you would like to schedule a consultation, or if you would like to schedule an upcoming session.
​
What is Telehealth?
Simply put, Telehealth means having therapy sessions take place remotely, either on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. You and I would meet "face to face" via an online platform for each of our scheduled individual sessions.
​
Am I eligible to do Telehealth/online sessions with you?
I am licensed to provide therapy in the state of Florida, and am able to hold Telehealth sessions with anyone who is a resident of Florida. I provide online therapy services in the following areas:
​
-
Anxiety therapy and treatment
-
Depression therapy
-
Older adults and seniors
-
Couples therapy
-
Grief Counseling
-
Maternal Mental Health
-
DBT Therapy and Skills
​
I have Medicare. Will my online sessions be covered via Medicare?
Yes, Medicare currently covers telehealth and online therapy services for psychotherapy and counseling, so your sessions will be covered. Please note, you will still be responsible for payment of your copay.
​
Is Telehealth effective?
Absolutely! There can sometimes be a misperception that online therapy sessions will be more impersonal or awkward than face to face sessions. Rest assured that it is possible to develop a connection with your therapist online and that you will be able to successfully move towards achieving your mental health goals via Telehealth.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, online therapy has become a common way for people to receive therapy. I have now conducted hundreds of sessions online, and have been able to establish the same deep connection with clients that I meet with online as the clients I see in person.
​
Additionally, online therapy offers a level of comfort and convenience that is hard to beat. You can meet from the comfort of your own home and do not have to factor in travel time in order to receive therapy - factors which many clients have come to appreciate. I also provide hybrid services, meeting with clients both in person and online
​
I invite you to reach out to me with any questions you may have or if you are interested in setting up a Telehealth session. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where you can learn more about me, my services, and whether we are a good fit for therapy. I look forward to hearing from you!
