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 AT FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2023]. 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 I'm contracted with and check with Member Services for your health plan to find out about your telehealth coverage and any special requirements or authorization needed before scheduling an appointment.

DO I HAVE TO BE A TEXAS RESIDENT TO MEET WITH YOU?

Yes; however, you don't have to be currently located in Texas to meet with me. I can provide counseling services to you wherever you're located around the globe. If you're a college student from Texas living away from home in another state or country, I can still work with you. Likewise, if you're a US military or government employee residing in Texas but stationed overseas. If you're not a Texas resident, you can check the following link to locate an online provider in your state.  

I've had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of people from rural Texas, other states, and other countries. Working with people who would otherwise not have easy access to needed counseling support is not only an important cause which I'm an active advocate for, it's also a great privilege and an interesting experience that I enjoy.
