OTT Coaching and Counseling provides mental health counseling through teletherapy (online therapy) to Florida and New York residents
Virtual counseling in Florida and virtual counseling in New York provides telehealth psychotherapy and the opportunity to connect with a mental health professional on your own time, in your own space, and in more convenient ways. Whether you live, travel, or work anywhere in Florida or New York, mental health counseling is something you can access. You can access teletherapy regardless of the typical in-office barriers of time, location, and scheduling.
At OTT, our virtual mental health counselors have expanded to cover multiple states. This includes New York teletherapy as well as anywhere in Florida. We understand that there is no one size fits all to the therapy model. Many clients who travel or have two homes, avoid seeking therapy because it may seem inconvenient. Teletherapy provides mental health support for New York residents, as well as people who live in Floridaa. This means regardless of your location, if you are suffering from social anxiety, are dealing with depression, overwhelmed with anxiety, managing stress, work burn out or fatigue, or are just simply trying to navigate life's transitions, you can receive help. Speaking with a licensed psychotherapist in New York through teletherapy, or a virtual mental health counselor in Florida can drastically change the outlook and feelings you may think you have to deal with on your own.
Offering access to a virtual counselor for mental health therapy to residents of New York, and Florida, brings professional counseling to the comfort of your home, office, or any setting that you feel comfortable in.
Teletherapy can be an effective online counseling option during times that you may not be able to get to an office for mental health therapy services. Using virtual programs, which are at no cost to you, you can access your New York therapist or Florida counselor on the go, or in the convenience of your own home. Teletherapy sessions are becoming more widely used. They can be used exclusively or in conjunction with in-office counseling. Your therapist will send you everything that you need to log in using your phone, tablet, or computer.
When you use teletherapy sessions for mental health therapy, you can rest assured that your therapist has received training on how to keep your counseling session confidential. You will be logging through a protected virtual program that will not be shared with any other users except yourself and your therapist. Many therapists that work within a private practice setting have already familiarized their clients with teletherapy sessions using them with clients on vacations or other times to stay connected outside of regular in-office meetings. Recent changes in New York mental health care and Florida counseling have allowed more therapists to use this type of technology for mental health therapy sessions so you can access therapy outside of a typical office setting and often faster due to increased flexibility.
HOW TELETHERAPY WORKS
What to expect during your virtual session.
You will be sent a link or schedule a time to connect through a host. The therapy session will be in real-time and you will be able to interact with your therapist as if you were sitting in the same room. There will be no difference in the content or techniques that your licensed mental health counselor will use with you during your session, except that you will be connecting using technology. There is often an even better opportunity for therapists and clients to connect with teletherapy because it can be used anywhere and anytime.
NEW YORK TELETHERAPY SERVICE BENEFITS
New York teletherapy provides a level of convenience to the client that limits barriers to their on-going counseling services. This may include a busy schedule, distance, need for flexible hours, or for personal preference that allows you more time to stay busy on the job or at home while avoiding adding commute time to get the help you need. Teletherapy services in New York may also provide you access to professional, high level care that may not be readily available in your area. There is usually an added benefit of decreased costs when you can access this virtual care and avoid paying higher premiums to mental health therapists in New York in office settings.
TELETHERAPY ACROSS THE STATES
Teletherapy allows you to travel out of your home state or even access therapy sessions from providers that are not within your state. Teletherapy sessions can cross global barriers if you have two homes, travel for work, or vacation frequently. For instance, if you are a New York resident with a home in Florida, you can access a counselor in both states without interrupting your mental healthcare.
TELETHERAPY FOR ANYONE
Teletherapy also provides clients that are reluctant or even, unable, to leave their home due to anxiety disorders, physical limitations, or other barriers. By logging into a session from home with a therapist they can receive professional help and support. You also have the option of doing a counseling session that does not include a camera or face time, if you are shy to be seen. There are a variety of high-tech options that your therapist will be able to offer you so that you can get the mental health help you need.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT THERAPIST
When you are seeking a therapist that offers teletherapy, you may want to consider one who already has an established community practice. There might be many services available to you, but you will still want to ensure that you are getting the best services. You can research “telehealth counselors in my area”, and give them a call to see if they have the ability to offer teletherapy sessions. This allows you versatility, in the event that you ever decide to also go into the office.
Even if you decide that teletherapy is the best option and you don’t ever plan to meet in person, you will still want to make sure the therapist you choose is credentialed. This can be hard to do if they do not have a bio or accessible website, practice, or google reviews.
HOW TO GET TELETHERAPY STARTED
The first step we always recommend is that you do your research and find a practice like OTT that is already prepared with this technology. Requesting more information about the virtual platform your therapist will use, and what you can expect, will help get you started. With so many services being offered online these days, it only makes sense to access counseling online too.
