  1. 5 Myths About Online Counseling or Therapy

  2. Online Therapy Is Not As Effective As Office-Based Counseling Contrary to this belief, research has actually found that Online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-office counseling. Several studies have found that client outcomes from online therapy were almost identical to those who received services in an office.

  3. Myth: I Won’t Be Able To Connect With My Therapist During Online Therapy Is Online counseling a good fit for everyone? No. Could it be a good fit for you? Quite possibly. Many clients have found they are able to create a deep therapeutic relationship with their therapist through video counseling. In fact, some people find it easier to connect with their therapist on the computer, especially if they have social anxiety.

  4. Myth: My Insurance Won’t Cover Online Therapy This is a popular myth I hear often, even from other therapists. However, overall I have found this to be untrue. Almost all 50 states require Medicaid programs to cover telehealth services. In fact, over 30 states have requirements for private insurance plans to cover these services as well. Each year more states are pushing to pass legislation to require insurance plans to cover telehealth services as they become more and more popular. There is a very good chance that your insurance company will cover online mental health services! But, every plan is different, so it is always best to call your insurance company directly and verify your specific benefits for tele- mental health counseling.

  5. Myth: I Can Only See An Online Therapist Who Also Lives Where I Live Each state and each governing body differ in the restrictions they place on therapists, social workers, and counselors regarding how they provide online mental health services to clients. However, one of the great benefits of working with an online therapist is that you are not limited to only the therapists who live and work in your area. As long as a therapist is licensed in the state where you live (even if he or she doesn’t live in your state), you can see them for online therapy. Regardless of the distance between you. This helps to broaden your options of who you can work with for counseling. For example, you may be looking for someone who specializes in working with new moms with anxiety, but you cannot find anyone near you who feels like a good fit. Telehealth allows you to see a therapist who is licensed in your state but may live hundreds of miles away. They may live in another city or even another state. E therapy can open the door to additional support, services, and therapists that you wouldn’t be able to access otherwise.
