Teletherapy in DC — Phone & Video Counseling

Woman doing teletherapy from home

Teletherapy, or online therapy, has become an increasingly popular way to do psychotherapy. During covid-19, as DC Talk Therapy closed its physical office doors, teletherapy has served a vital need for our clients who needed our help and support more than ever.

All of our DC therapists use HIPAA-secure video platforms such as Doxy and Zoom.

DC Talk Therapy provides online therapy for individual counseling and couples counseling.

Prior to your first teletherapy session, our office administrator, Amy, will send you a Teletherapy Consent Form to your email via the Patient Portal along with your other intake forms. Once Amy has confirmed your session, you will receive an email from either her or your therapist with a link to your therapist’s platform.

Your therapist will “start the call” with you at the agreed date/time of your session. If you wish to meet by phone, your therapist will call the number you provide. You can use your computer, tablet, or cell phone to participate in teletherapy.

Most healthcare plans provide coverage for teletherapy just like in-office therapy. Even if you think you don’t have coverage for telehealth, contact us, as we continue to get updates from insurance plans expanding telehealth benefits during covid-19.

By far, the number one benefit of online therapy is convenience.

Benefits of Online Therapy in DC:

  • You can attend your sessions from the comfort of your home or office.
  • No need to spend time and money traveling to our office.
  • No need to get a babysitter if you have young children.
  • You can still have your session in bad weather.
  • You can still have your session if you’re sick, injured, or disabled.
  • No need to sit in a waiting room with other people.

There are a few things to consider before starting teletherapy. It’s important to sit in a quiet and private space for your session; make sure that your location offers a strong internet connection; and there can be occasional technical glitches, so it’s important to have a backup platform.
