The latest trend in therapy is videoconference sessions, which means, no matter where you are, you can have a private session with your psychologist, or counselor via Skype or FaceTime on your computer, iPad or smart phone.
Clients appreciate online therapy sessions, because they can schedule an appointment anywhere, at any time. And a lot of them feel they need less therapy because their counselor is always just a click away.
And a lot of therapists like live video sessions because they can work from home, instead of renting an office. They also no longer have to worry about canceled appointments because of blizzards, broken legs, or business trips. And they can still treat patients if they, or the patient, moves away.
There are some drawbacks, but it works well enough to grow a trend. Kinks are still being worked out, but studies show that patient satisfaction is just about equal whether they interact with their therapist face-to-face, or online. So, online therapy sessions are here now at the Synergy Counseling Center.
If you'd like to set up an appointment for a Skype or FaceTime counseling session, call 256-273-7216 anytime day or night. We can also do most assessments online.
