What is telehealth?

Online therapy is often called telehealth, tenemental health, or technology assisted counseling.  The terms are often interchangeable and mean the same thing and allow you to meet with a mental health counselor through technology. Clients who are comfortable with checking email, paying bills online, or using a video call would find online therapy comfortable and easy to navigate.

Online therapy can help assist you with managing depression, anxiety, relationship stressors and many other mental health concerns. It is a great way to make therapy fit into your lifestyle and your goals.

Finding an Online Counselor

When looking for a licensed counselor in Florida to do online counseling with you need to locate a counselor who is licensed in your state of residence. Florida state laws require that your counselor be licensed or have board approval to provide services based to you (the clients) location. When you look at our list of counselors, please make sure to look for counselors located within the state of  Florida where you want to participate in therapy.

 

If you are looking for therapy and reside in one of the major cities like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Destin, Fort Lauderdale, Pensacola, Sarasota, St Augustine, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, West Palm Beach, Daytona Beach, Ocala or even Fort Myers; online therapy could be a good fit for you. While online therapy is not the same as in-persons counseling those that utilize it have reported success rates and benefits that you would see from an in-person setting.
