Telemedicine in Connecticut Frequently Asked Questions
What is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine for mental health, or online counseling, is a therapy conducted virtually. Therapists will use video conference software, like Zoom or Doxy.me, in order to provide the opportunity to have private sessions via video instead of in person.
How does Telemedicine work?
Telemedicine works like regular in person therapy, in that you meet one on one, or as a couple or family with your therapist for 45-50 minute sessions. In these sessions you have conversations with your therapist to help identify goals and work towards those goals.
When is Telemedicine needed?
Telemedicine (online counseling) is helpful if you have limited time to commute to therapy sessions and/or you prefer to have counseling in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
How long does the Telemedicine in Connecticut process take?
Length of therapy is typically not impacted by whether it occurs in person or via video.
How do I know if Telemedicine is right for me?
You may want to have a trial session, to get a sense of whether the video conferencing method of conducting therapy is a fit for you. Though many people find it effective and preferable, it is not something everyone prefers. You and your therapist can discuss whether this may be an option for you and/or your family.
