Online therapy (telehealth)
Telehealth can make therapy accessible when travel, scheduling, health, or preference makes in-person sessions difficult. Sessions use a secure, HIPAA-appropriate platform. Eligibility depends on clinical appropriateness, privacy on your end, and where you are located at the time of service—including North Dakota and Colorado for eligible online care.
Who it may help
Therapy is personal—these are common reasons people begin this type of care.
- Clients in North Dakota or Colorado who want counseling from a private location.
- People with transportation barriers or irregular schedules.
- Those who feel more regulated beginning therapy from a familiar environment.
What clients may work on
Sessions follow your goals. These topics are typical starting points.
- ·Setting up a confidential space and backup plans for interruptions.
- ·Building the same therapeutic rapport and structure as in-person care.
- ·Adjusting interventions when needed for the online format.
What sessions may involve
Structure helps therapy feel safe and purposeful.
- Consent and troubleshooting basics for technology and privacy.
- The same collaborative structure: goals, skills, processing, and review.
- Clear guidance on what to do if telehealth is not meeting your needs.
What makes this approach supportive
Online therapy is not a lesser version of care—it is a different delivery method. Some concerns may still be better served in person; if so, that will be discussed openly.
