Telehealth Counseling in Arizona — Frequently Asked Questions

What is telehealth?

Telehealth counseling offers an appointment with a licensed therapist virtually on a secure video platform — or in some cases via phone. There is no commute, no waiting room to sit in, and no need to hurry to get there on time. Therapy is coming to you, wherever you feel comfortable.

 

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Telehealth makes quality counseling more accessible than ever. By removing barriers like travel and geography, it’s easier for individuals, couples, and families across Arizona to get the care they need. Other benefits include:

• Convenience: Access therapy from home, your office, or even while traveling.

• Privacy: Sessions are private and secure, helping reduce the stigma some people feel about counseling.

• Flexibility: More appointment times mean therapy can fit into even the busiest schedule.

• Accessibility: Ideal for those in rural Arizona, those without reliable transportation, or anyone with mobility challenges.

 

How does telehealth counseling work?

Telehealth is nearly identical to in-person counseling, with the only difference being that sessions are via secure video conference. You'll meet with your therapist using your smartphone, laptop, or tablet, at the appointed time. 

As in person, you'll share your concerns, thoughts, and objectives and your therapist will offer guidance using evidence-based approaches to your unique situation.

 

How do I prepare for a telehealth session?

Preparing for your online therapy session is easy and quick. Here are some tips:

• Pick a quiet place with privacy and no distractions.

• Test your device's internet connection, microphone, and camera on your device or app.

• Make sure you sit in a well-lit area so you can be seen clearly.

• Feel free to use headphones if you would prefer more privacy.

• Be on time so you can start on time.

 

Is telehealth private and secure?

Yes. We take privacy and confidentiality very seriously. All of our telehealth visits are conducted using HIPAA-compliant platforms that have gone through rigorous privacy and security vetting. Clients are encouraged to join from a private space in order to add to confidentiality on their end.

 

Does online therapy work as well as in-person sessions?

Absolutely. Research has consistently indicated that online counseling is just as effective as in person therapy, especially when it comes to treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Plus, many clients prefer virtual therapy, as it is simply more comfortable and easier to stick with consistently.
