ONLINE THERAPY
Since the pandemic, many therapists, myself included, have given up their offices permanently and now exclusively provide online therapy.
Though it's not quite the same as in-person therapy, online therapy (also known as teletherapy or telemedicine) is proving to be an excellent alternative. Many of my clients find it more convenient than coming to an office.
The research conducted over the last few years indicates that teletherapy is as effective as in-person therapy.
Does online therapy work?
Yes, it does. It isn’t quite the same as being in the same room, but it’s surprisingly good. My clients tell me that after the first few minutes, it starts to feel more like being in the same room and having a normal conversation.

Is online therapy private?
The technology of my online therapy platform, Doxy.me, is private and secure. All data is encrypted, your sessions are anonymous, and none of your information is stored. Doxy.me adheres to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) data privacy requirements.
Do I need a special computer for online therapy?
No. It works with any computer that has a microphone and a camera or a computer that has a webcam. It also works well with all smartphones and tablets.
Will my insurance cover online therapy?
As of 2025, all claims my clients have submitted for teletherapy services have been covered at the same rates as in-person therapy. The only way to be certain of your coverage, though, is to check with your insurance company.
