HOW TELETHERAPY WORKS
Learn more about our Canonsburg-based teletherapy services.
What is Teletherapy?
Teletherapy is the online delivery of counseling via HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software. You can just log-on from your phone or laptop with webcam and attend your session from the comfort of your own home or office.
Why use online therapy?
This makes it really convenient for people with busy schedules and/or children and family responsibilities, who may have a hard time making it to an office appointment every week! There is no difference in the treatment you will receive. We specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy, strengths-based therapy, adolescent issues, mindfulness skill-building, trauma therapy, couples counseling and supportive counseling for multiple different types of issues (parenting issues, stress management, assertiveness skill-building).
Who is teletherapy for?
Teletherapy is appropriate for those that are not in life threatening situations or at risk for suicide attempts. If these are part of your issue, we recommend finding an in-person therapist.
How do I schedule an appointment for online therapy?
Appointments can be made through the contact form, where you can give us your phone or email for us to contact you directly. We will typically respond within 24-48 hours. Appointments will be conducted through the SimplePractice video conferencing (HIPAA-compliant, confidential program). This can be accessed directly from your computer with the unique code emailed to you before your appointment, or via the Simple Practice Telehealth app that can be downloaded onto a smartphone. You can also call 724-209-4970 although typically we are in sessions and may not be able to answer the phone, and will return your call as soon as possible.
How often will we have sessions?
We will decide together how frequently you schedule your sessions. Some people have weekly appointments, others do every other week or once monthly. We will tailor it according to your needs and adjust as needed.
How do I pay for teletherapy?
Most health insurances cover outpatient therapy, although may have co-pays or deductibles. You may also self-pay. Payment is due at the end of each session. We accept all major credit cards (payment processing through SimplePractice). HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
Prefer In-Person?
You can see us at our Southpointe location at 2400 Ansys Dr Suite 102, Canonsburg, PA 15317.
