Teletherapy in Holly Springs and Raleigh, NC

Telehealth (Online Therapy)

One moment life can be sailing along beautifully, the next we are dealing with grief, a mental health issue, an anxiety disorder, family conflict, etc.

One of the services Reframe Counseling provide for their clients is online therapy.

How Does Online Therapy Work?

There are plenty of reasons why people may be hesitant about face-to-face therapy. Currently, we are still in the grip of a global pandemic and for many people, opting for online choices is preferable where possible.

For others, the pandemic has little to do with their desire to find online therapy. Instead, they may find it challenging to actually go to a therapist's office, either because of their schedule or their circumstances. Other reasons can include living in a location where few reputable counselors are in the local area or requiring a more flexible approach to therapy sessions. All of these are valid reasons and certainly make online therapy an attractive option.

Compared to traditional therapy, online therapy will allow you to meet with a therapist, likely by video chat or call, and engage in regular sessions, just like you would if you were to meet in person.

Tips To Help You Get The Most From Your Online Therapy Sessions

Choosing to have online counseling or therapy can present several challenges but with the right planning, these can easily be overcome.

• Stick to a regular schedule and make sure you choose times when you feel the most comfortable and relaxed.

• Choose a space that is private, try to make it a clutter-free area, and ensure that you are not within earshot of other people.

• Try to avoid any technical issues that could cause disturbances during the session; check your internet speed before you start, and use a device that is able to handle a conversation without a lag. Lagging is not a good thing when engaging in online therapy.
