Secure Online Video Therapy
YOU’RE ONE STEP CLOSER TO A NEW BEGINNING
Secure Online Video Therapy is Now Available for Residents of Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma.
Online Therapy and Online Counseling
Increasingly, healthcare professionals are using technology as part of their practice, offering telemedicine and secure online video therapy (a.k.a. online therapy, online counseling, counseling online, and teletherapy) options to patients.
At Hopeful Texas, secure online therapy is provided through a confidential, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. As long as you have a computer or phone with a camera and internet connection, online therapy and online counseling is an option for you. Your therapist provides the same treatment as if you were seeing each other in person.
Our therapists provide the same high-quality care via secure online therapy and online counseling for individuals, families, couples, children and adolescents as we do in person. Secure online video therapy offers expanded access to care for our clients and improves continuity of care. It allows us to provide added convenience, and to be responsive to varying circumstances (practical and clinical) that might warrant remote care.
Concerned about your busy schedule, the travel time, or have other limitations?
Are you a legal resident of Texas, Alabama, or Oklahoma who is looking for a convenient alternative to in-person therapy sessions, but with the same personal touch as in person? Do you want to reach out for help, but just don’t have the time or space for counseling in your life? Perhaps you’re too overwhelmed with stress and daily preoccupations to even think of navigating traffic to visit a therapist’s office. Or maybe a physical limitation, medical condition, chronic illness, chronic pain, transportation, or health issue makes leaving the house a complex challenge.
If this sounds familiar, you may be the perfect candidate for our phone or video based secure online counseling services. While we offer standard, in-person sessions with highly-trained and qualified professionals in Houston, TX, we also bring that same level of quality and specialist expertise to our online clients. Whether you are looking for help dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, trauma, child, parenting & family concerns, career issues, or if you just need some additional support in your life, working with a therapist online through video therapy can help. And if you’re local to Houston, you always have the option of scheduling an in-person session from time to time as well.
The difference between online therapy or online counseling and traditional therapy
The only real difference is that instead of meeting with your therapist in-person at a set location, you get to work from wherever you would like to via the internet (video/webcam) or phone. We can accommodate almost any schedule. Whether you want to schedule an appointment during your lunch break, before you start your day, when your kid takes a nap, when childcare is available, or just when you have a little free time. Rather than trekking across town, you can meet with your online psychologist directly from home, the office, or even your car. This type of service meets you where you are and conforms to your personal needs for safety, comfort, and convenience.
Couples therapy or marriage counseling online
With online couples therapy, couples have greater flexibility to attend sessions without having to worry about driving in Houston traffic and finding childcare to attend therapy sessions. This allows you and your partner to make effective and necessary changes to break negative cycles. Online therapy for couples is very similar to face to face counseling. It’s conducted via video, even if one partner is out of town. This makes it much more convenient to participate in regular sessions.
Ideally, you and your partner can be together online, but it’s also ok if you are both at different locations. However, we do prefer that you both have access to a video camera, whether through your phone or webcam so you can see your partner and your therapist on screen.
What will I need in order to receive secure online therapy or online counseling?
It’s really quite easy. You only need three things: 1) a PC, laptop, phone, or tablet with a microphone and camera/webcam; 2) a stable and reliable internet connection and 3) a quiet place where you can talk freely. We will send you a unique, confidential link to access your video session with your therapist. Other than that, you just need a desire for personal growth and a willingness to move forward.
As with face to face counseling, you will set up an appointment time with your therapist. At the scheduled appointment time your therapist will reach you by the agreed upon method. Appointments are usually scheduled in 45-minute increments, but you are welcome to discuss your needs with your therapist for shorter or longer session lengths.
