Is video counseling right for you?

HOW DO I CONNECT VIA ONLINE VIDEO?

Connecting via video is simple, secure, and free! The teleconferencing app I uses the highest security standard (direct peer-to-peer) and works with any Android and iOS device. The teleconferencing app is intuitive provides connection stability across long distances, allowing us to connect from remote areas almost anywhere in the country or across the globe!

IS VIDEO COUNSELING ONLINE AS EFFECTIVE AS IN-PERSON COUNSELING/COACHING?

Yes. In a number of research studies on effectiveness, remote web-based video treatment was found to be equally, and in some cases, even more effective, than traditional in-office counseling or therapy.

CAN I USE INSURANCE FOR VIDEO COUNSELING?

[NOTE: I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING INSURANCE REFERRALS]. Sometimes—health insurance coverage has increased dramatically in recent years for online video counseling (aka "telehealth' or "telemedicine)." Coverage varies by plan and from state to state. Telehealth for mental and behavioral health services are mandated by Texas law for certain types of plans. I'm an approved telehealth provider with several major insurance EAP plans. Check the list of EAP plans and consult with Member Services to find out about your telehealth coverage and any special requirements or authorization needed.

DO I HAVE TO BE A TEXAS RESIDENT FOR PHONE OR VIDEO COUNSELING?

The Texas Boards for mental health care providers have rules that change and vary from by organization and over time. Check with your mental health provider about how their license type affects ability to access telehealth services.
