Teletherapy

What is Telehealth Counseling?
Telehealth is video counseling using a computer, tablet/ipad, or phone instead of face-to-face in-office counseling. A cloud-based platform is used to deliver counseling services over the  internet. 
Telehealth is also called internet counseling, online therapy, telemedicine, or distance counseling. It is confidential and HIPPA compliant, using a secure videoconferencing platform specifically designed for such services. 

How Does Online Counseling Work?
Your insurance policy could include telehealth as an alternative to coming to the office. So the first step would be for you to check with your insurance company to see if they cover telehealth; many do at this time. Cornerstone uses a HIPPA compliant platform that is secure and assures confidentiality. Your technology, that is, the device you would use to videoconference, would need to allow for high quality of video and audio transmission.

 

To use the videoconferencing platform there is no sign up required by you. Specifically, as your therapist, I will email a Doxy invitation link to you, and at the time of the scheduled appointment you click on the link and follow the presented steps to enter the  virtual waiting room.
