Online therapy, virtual therapy, and telehealth mean meeting with a therapist through the internet rather than in-person. Online therapy is a convenient and accessible way to get support you need and deserve

What is online therapy?

Online therapy works much like in-person therapy, but instead of visiting your therapist’s office, you meet them online. Sessions are typically held face-to-face through a secure video platform that meets healthcare privacy and security standards.

Online therapy can be life-changing. It gives you convenient and effective support that helps you improve your mental and emotional well-being, all from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

6 Benefits of Online Therapy

Convenience

Instead of having to drive to the office, leave work early, or sit in traffic, you can log on to our secure teletherapy platform to meet with your therapist. This saves you a lot of time and hassle if you have a busy schedule.

Accessible

While our office is located in Durham, our therapists can meet with anyone in North Carolina. That means anyone, including those living in rural communities, can work with our highly skilled therapists. From Wilmington, to Asheville, from Charlotte to the Outer Banks, we are here to support you!

Comfort

Online therapy allows you to work with your therapist from the comfort of your home. Some people find that being in a familiar location helps them to feel at ease and open up with their therapist.

Choice

Online therapy provides access to more therapists compared to traditional in-person therapy. Most therapists work online or hybrid, not just in-person. This means you have more options and greater flexibility to find the therapist who best matches your specific needs and preferences.

Flexibility

Virtual therapy gives you more freedom to choose what works for you, like having an appointment during your lunch break or in-between classes. Our online booking site also makes it easy to find a time that works for you

Inclusive

Without physical barriers in the way, online therapy is accessible to people with physical disabilities, mobility issues, or those who feel anxious about leaving the house. Additionally, online therapy is a great choice for caregivers, like mothers of small children. If you have a lot of responsibilities and demands already, online therapy saves you from the additional labor of having to come into the office.

How to have the best Online Therapy experience:

1. Find a quiet and comfortable space

Set up your space in a quiet and private location where you won’t be disturbed. Minimize distractions, including turning off notifications and closing extra tabs. Disable smart devices that have voice activated features, like Siri, Amazon Echo or Google Home. Confidentiality is important, so make sure you feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly.

2. Get familiar with the tech

We use HIPAA compliant and secure software for phone and video sessions. Before your appointment, you will get an email with a link where you can sign in and meet with your therapist. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and your mic and camera are working to avoid interruptions.

3. Collaborate with your therapist

Your therapist is here to support you every step of the way. Feel free to ask questions and talk about what feels helpful or what doesn’t. Honest communication allows your therapist to customize the sessions to fit your unique needs. Even online, therapy is always a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself. While being open might feel challenging at first, it fosters trust and creates a strong foundation for meaningful progress in your therapy journey.
