Telehealth Therapy

Telehealth therapy (or telemedicine therapy) has become the standard mode since the onset of the Covid-19 Crisis. I am glad to report that this is a mode of therapy that I am already familiar with: in my years working in drug and alcohol rehabilitation I conducted many family sessions of video-conferencing therapy and therapy phones calls. I also conducted many phone sessions and video sessions as part of after-care for clients who completed treatment.

I have now been practicing only online therapy since the first week of March 2020. Quite a few of my clients, including some couples, are people I have never met in person. I am both surprised and happy to report that distance therapy is not impacting the work for those willing to engage.
