The short answer
Teletherapy is counseling delivered by secure live video or phone instead of an in-person office visit. You meet with a licensed therapist from home, work, or anywhere private, using a link on your phone, tablet, or computer.
How a session works
At your appointment time you open a secure link and meet your therapist face to face on screen. The conversation is the same one you would have in an office. Scheduling, notes, and any paperwork are handled online.
What you need
A phone, tablet, or computer, a stable internet connection, and a quiet, private space. There is no special software to buy beyond the platform link your provider sends.
Who it suits
People with packed schedules, no reliable transportation, or long drives to the nearest clinic, along with anyone who simply feels more comfortable talking from home.
