FAQs

1. What is virtual therapy, and how does it work?

Virtual therapy, also known as teletherapy, is counseling conducted online through video, on your phone, tablet or computer. You can attend sessions from the comfort of your home or any private space. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with video capabilities (if you’re using video calls).

2. Is virtual therapy effective?

Yes, studies show that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many issues. It provides a convenient, accessible, and private way to receive mental health support and can be tailored to meet individual needs.

3. How secure is my information?

Your privacy and confidentiality are our top priorities. We use HIPAA-compliant platforms to ensure that all communications are encrypted and secure, following all privacy standards for your protection.

4. What issues can be addressed in virtual therapy?

We can help with a variety of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and more. If you’re unsure if your concern fits, feel free to reach out for a consultation.

5. Do you accept insurance?

Currently, we are a private-pay practice, and each session is $200. However, we are happy to provide a superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Your superbill will include information like the date of service, diagnosis codes, and procedure codes, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We understand how important it is to have flexible options, and we’re actively working to become in-network with Aetna and BCBS in the near future.

6. How do I pay for my sessions?

At the beginning of each session, we’ll email you an invoice through Paypal, Square or Zelle to the email address or phone number you provided. Each individual teletherapy session is $200, and we accept credit cards along with several other payment options.

7. How long are the sessions, and how often should I attend?

While most sessions are 53 minutes to align with insurance guidelines, we can adapt to your specific needs. Frequency is tailored to your goals, with bi-weekly sessions being common for clients initially. Together, we’ll develop a plan that fits your pace.

8. What Age Groups Do You Serve?

Currently, our teletherapy services are tailored for adults. If you have questions about therapy options for other age groups, feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to help point you in the right direction!

9. Can I do virtual therapy with you if I’m in a different state or country?

Our services are currently available to Texas residents. If you’re outside of our service area, we can refer you to other trusted professionals in your location.

10. What if I need to reschedule or cancel a session?

We completely understand that life can be unpredictable! If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know at least 24 hours in advance by email or phone. This way, we can offer that time slot to someone else who may need it. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will incur the regular session fee of $200. Thank you for helping us support everyone’s scheduling needs!

11. How do I get started?

Getting started is simple! Begin by filling out the forms on our Forms page. Once that’s done, you can either visit our scheduling page to choose a time that works for you or reach out to us by phone or email to set up an initial consultation. During this first call, we’ll talk about your needs, answer any questions you may have, and help you arrange your first session. We’re here to make this process as smooth and welcoming as possible!
