Teletherapy

What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy refers to counseling sessions that take place over the phone, through secure video, or through secure messaging. While this may not have been a familiar part of your life pre-Coronavirus, I’m betting it is now. Luckily, counseling is a format that is pretty easily adaptable to distance participation (even with Brainspotting!). Since it is so flexible, it can allow us to come up with creative ways of helping you with the issues you are working through that being limited to a 50 minute in person counseling session just cannot.

All video counseling sessions are conducted securely through doxy.me, a HIPAA compliant telemedicine site that uses encrypted point to point connections to ensure confidentiality.

Possible benefits of teletherapy:

  • Increased scheduling flexibility
  • Ease of attending appointments
  • Ability to be in your own house where you may feel more safe and comfortable
  • Less of a time commitment
  • Helpful if you have limited mobility or are on maternity/paternity leave
  • Increased possibilities for exposure activities or for working towards specific goals

Some people really want or need to physically leave their house and to have the extra time for themselves. For others, it just wouldn’t be possible to do that. Also, teletherapy can open us up to collaborating in even more ways: we can do exposure exercises over the phone together; or we can exchange secure messages in between in person or video sessions to work towards specific goals. It really just adds a lot of possibilities. Many people are often wonder if online therapy is as effective as in person therapy. Below are some articles that address this concern.

Feeling doubtful about how effective online therapy might be? Check out some of these articles:

Testimonials

Margaret is an excellent guide through the tough times

“Margaret is an excellent guide through the tough times that I’ve been facing. She is a wonderful listener and I never felt judged with her in any ways, which is what I was most worried about in speaking to a therapist.“

- Client

Made me feel understood and valued

“The shared experience of being mothers made me feel understood and valued. (Margaret) has a calmness and gentleness that really put me at ease. I learned a lot during our sessions. I identified a lot of underlying belief systems that were causing some of my discomfort and showing themselves after having a baby.”

- Client

She’s offered new ideas and approaches

“Margaret has been a major help to me for dealing with anxiety and depression. She’s offered new ideas and approaches that I had never even thought of”

- Client

Margaret was very down to earth

“Margaret was very down to earth, met me where I was, and led me where I wanted to go.”

- Client

Like talking to a very informed friend

“(Working with Margaret) felt like talking to a very informed friend or colleague vs being talked down to. I really appreciated how informed she was at all times”.

- female client, 26

I feel so much better having someone there…working in my favor

“Highly recommend. Margaret is such a good listener, very understanding and insightful. She helped me find different perspectives and solutions to get over mental health hurdles, without being judgmental or harsh. I feel so much better having someone there that understands me and is working in my favor.”

- Client

I continue to benefit from the work we did

“(Brainspotting with Margaret) helped me to process the trauma in a different, more direct and healing way than I had previously. I continue to benefit from the work we did.”

- Female Client, 55

Clients have a wonderful experience with Margaret

Not only is Margaret a wonderful, skilled therapist, but she continues to explore and learn new ways of showing up with her clients. She is always a student, and that’s the kind of therapist I would want for myself! Clients have a wonderful experience with Margaret and know she is really present with them in the room. Her presence is very gentle, and the clients I have referred have experienced wonderful healing and insight in their work with Margaret.I love her whole body approach to healing and use of Brainspotting in her practice, as well as how she incorporates mindfulness and yoga which is wonderful for clients who already connect to these practice or are integrating it into their process for the first time. I would refer clients to Margaret anytime.
