The short answer
Teletherapy is licensed counseling delivered by secure video instead of an in-person visit, and research shows it works as well as office care for most concerns. A Plus provides teletherapy to residents across Nevada, along with Wyoming and other Counseling Compact states, with insurance and Nevada Medicaid accepted and your benefits verified before the first session.
How teletherapy works
Teletherapy replaces the office visit with a secure video session you join from home, work, or anywhere private. You meet a licensed therapist face to face on screen, and scheduling, notes, and paperwork are handled online. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer, a stable connection, and a quiet space.
Who it is right for
Teletherapy suits people with packed schedules, long drives to the nearest clinic, limited transportation, or a simple preference to talk from a familiar space. It works well for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and substance use counseling, among other concerns.
Where A Plus serves and how the Counseling Compact helps
A Plus provides teletherapy across Nevada and reaches Wyoming residents and clients in other Counseling Compact states where its counselors hold the privilege to practice. The Counseling Compact is an agreement among member states that lets a licensed counselor work across state lines, which means you can keep your therapist if you move to or travel in a member state.
Insurance and Medicaid
Under Nevada rules and federal parity, most plans cover telehealth counseling on the same terms as an in-person visit, and Nevada Medicaid covers it as well. A Plus verifies your benefits before the first session so there are no surprises on the bill.
Is it as effective as in-person care?
A large body of research finds online therapy as effective as in-person care for most common concerns. What drives results is the relationship with your therapist and your consistency, not whether you meet in an office.
How to start
Request an appointment, share your insurance or Medicaid details, and the team confirms coverage and matches you with a clinician. You receive a secure link and can hold your first session from home.
