Wait, how does online therapy even work?
Online therapy (telehealth) is an easy way to get quality therapy services from the convenience of your private space. Typically this is a service done by a board-certified professional over video conferencing or by phone. At Olive Tree Health, our clinician has specialized in Technology-Assisted Counseling by Arkansas State Board of Examiners in Counseling. This means you will get the same quality services you would get in person without having to leave your home.
Despite concerns, online therapy can allow people to be more honest and vulnerable than they would during fact-to-face sessions. This allows for greater improvement and change for the client. Many insurances have realized this and are covering telemental health services -even before the pandemic started.
Online therapy can be done from anywhere in Arkansas. It can happen from the comfort of your home, car, or anywhere else that is best. We will send you a link to our secure, virtual waiting room. All you need is a quiet, private place you can use your phone, tablet, or computer and a Wi-Fi connection. We recommend updating your browser to the latest setting, grabbing your favorite pair of headphones, and fuzzy slippers to ease your nerves (it’ll be your secret!).
Online counseling helps you get the support you need no matter what is going on in the world.
