What Is Online Therapy and How Does It Work?
Online therapy, also called telehealth or teletherapy, lets you meet with a licensed mental health provider over secure, HIPAA-compliant video from your phone, tablet, or computer. You receive the same evidence-based care as an in-person session, without the commute or the waiting room, and at Mental Care Plus you can access virtual therapy and counseling, and, where appropriate, medication management in one place. Research consistently finds outcomes comparable to in-person care for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions.
Conditions We Treat
Our licensed therapists use online therapy to treat a full range of mental health concerns, applying evidence-based approaches that work as well over secure video as they do in person. Below are some of the areas clients most often bring to virtual sessions.
Medication Management via Telehealth
Medication management is available through telehealth at Mental Care Plus for clients who may benefit from medication as part of their comprehensive treatment plan. Our licensed psychiatric providers conduct initial evaluations and follow-up visits in person or via secure video conferencing, review treatment response, and make adjustments as clinically appropriate. Coordination with the client’s primary therapist occurs when beneficial and with appropriate authorizations in place. Availability of telehealth for initial evaluations and ongoing medication management is determined on a case-by-case basis in accordance with clinical and regulatory requirements.
