What is online counseling?

It is providing mental health counseling services through the internet, typically through video

conferencing.

Will my insurance pay for online counseling?

More and more insurance companies are paying for online mental health counseling visits. You should

be able to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and ask them if they

cover online counseling services. I also accept private payment for online counseling services.

What are the requirements?

In general, you will need a computer with a web camera as well as a broadband internet connection

with sufficient bandwidth (connection speed) to be able to have a sustained video chat session.

Additionally, you would need a setting that provides adequate privacy.

Is online counseling effective?

A growing number of research studies are showing that online counseling may be just as effective as in-

person counseling.
