What is Telehealth Therapy for Mental Health?
Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, telemental health, or teletherapy, delivers structured therapeutic services through digital platforms. This approach allows individuals to access professional online mental health counseling, combining the flexibility of outpatient programs with the convenience of virtual sessions. Clients can engage in therapy from their preferred environment, making mental health support more accessible.
By utilizing secure video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms, telehealth eliminates the need for physical travel while ensuring individuals can connect with licensed mental health professionals. The flexibility of telehealth therapy accommodates various schedules, making it easier for clients to attend therapy without disrupting work, school, or family commitments.
