Online Therapy: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the connection as strong as in-person? Absolutely. Most clients are surprised by how quickly the "screen" disappears. My straightforward and genuine style translates naturally to video, allowing us to do deep, effective work from day one.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions? Yes. Research consistently shows that tele-therapy is just as effective as traditional face-to-face sessions for both couples and individuals. My straightforward, results-oriented approach translates perfectly to the screen, allowing us to build a strong therapeutic connection from day one. I worked in-person for over a decade before switching to telehealth and there is no difference in effectiveness, from my perspective, only client preference.
Do I need to hire a babysitter for our sessions? One of the biggest hurdles to therapy is the cost and stress of finding childcare. Because we meet virtually, many of my clients find it easier to schedule sessions during nap times, school hours, or after bedtime. Some kids are old enough to entertain themselves safely while we meet but wouldn’t be old enough to stay home without a sitter. Virtual therapy removes the "logistics barrier" and makes your mental health a priority without the added expense of a sitter.
What are the biggest benefits of virtual sessions? Beyond the clinical results, online therapy offers practical relief.
Privacy: There is no chance of running into someone you know in a waiting room. You are in your own safe, controlled environment.
Zero Commute: You save time, gas, and the stress of Michigan traffic. You can even join a session from your office during a lunch break.
Flexibility: Couples can join together from the same location or from different locations. You can choose to meet by video or phone. Most clients prefer video. Some of my clients prefer phone sessions, either regularly or occasionally, depending on their unique needs.
Statewide Access: I can work with any resident in the state of Michigan, not just those near Rochester Hills.
What technology do I need? You don’t need to be "tech-savvy." I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a private link via email; just click it from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Is my privacy protected? Absolutely. I use a platform specifically designed for healthcare that features end-to-end encryption. I conduct all sessions from a private, soundproof office to ensure our conversations remain completely confidential.
How do I pay? I use a secure, HIPPA compliant app called Ivypay, specifically for therapists to maintain safety and HIPPA compliance. You’ll enter your credit card (HSA cards welcome) through a text link I will send.
