How does virtual therapy work?

Accepted Answer

I use the SimplePractice Telehealth platform. Clients receive an email reminder for their upcoming appointment with a link to connect to the telehealth app (if using a phone) or website (if using a computer).

Question 2

What happens in a therapy session?

Accepted Answer

• We start with a brief check in about how you are feeling, how your week went, and if there are any topics you would like to prioritize in the session.
 • We discuss strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, boundary setting in relationships, identifying your core values, communicating emotional needs to others, and learning to challenge unbalanced or unhelpful thought patterns.  
 • I typically like to end sessions by identifying a self-care activity to focus on or make time for in the week.

Accepted Answer

• Sessions last 50 minutes
 • Sessions typically occur once per week
