Effective, Affordable Online Therapy & Counseling
Online Mental Health Counseling
CBI offers telehealth services as a versatile option to meet your mental health needs. This virtual therapy approach allows individuals to connect with licensed professional counselors and psychiatrists from the comfort of their own homes or any place of their choosing. Telehealth provides significant advantages, especially when physical accessibility, distance, or time constraints make it challenging to visit a therapy office in person.
Through our telehealth services, CBI ensures that individuals have access to a comprehensive range of mental health treatments, including all therapies, psychiatry for medication management, and many educational opportunities designed to support mental well-being. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, or any other mental health condition, our licensed professional counselors are here to provide the care you need.
Some benefits of Telehealth include:
- Telehealth provides a convenient solution for mental health support, avoiding traffic and weather issues.
- Flexible scheduling allows for easier planning of therapy sessions, offering an alternative to in-person therapy.
- Talkspace online therapy offers secure, encrypted video therapy sessions with licensed therapists, ensuring privacy and HIPAA compliance.
- Reduces the discomfort of seeing someone you know in the waiting room, a common concern with traditional in-person therapy.
- Enables access to specialized treatments like dialectical behavioral therapy, which may be hard to find locally.
- Often more affordable, with many services covered by insurance or available at a sliding scale.
- Saves on fuel costs and vehicle wear and tear, highlighting the cost-effectiveness and convenience of online therapy.
What should I know about telehealth?
- Patience is crucial when using online therapy due to potential delays in video connections or technological glitches, which licensed therapists are trained to navigate.
- Communication via email might be delayed or lost, so it's important to check spam/junk folders, a practice our licensed clinical social workers recommend.
- Reading emotional cues can be challenging across a video screen, but studies have shown online therapy has shown to be effective in bridging this gap.
- For those preferring traditional treatment, our center offers options at all three locations covered under most insurance plans, including online therapy sessions.
- Individuals experiencing acute conditions such as suicidal/homicidal thoughts or manic/psychotic episodes are strongly advised to seek in-person care at our facilities, where immediate support from our licensed professionals is available.
- Concerns about the risks associated with technology in telehealth can lead some to opt out at any stage, with our team ready to accommodate requests for in-person appointments, ensuring that insurance coverage extends to all forms of therapy.
