Online Therapy in Florida

There has been a lot of change in a short amount of time in the world. We're all now more isolated than we were before. Many aspects of our lives feel uncertain. In addition, you may have trouble sleeping. Altogether, this can impact your mental health. Furthermore, it can mess with your ability to connect with others. You want to start counseling and maybe this is new territory for you. Perhaps you live in Miami or Jacksonville. Because of this, you feel more comfortable attending counseling from your own home. Or you may live in Key West or Pensacola and may not have a lot of choice when it comes to mental health services.

Online Therapy Can Help You Now

You want high quality, specialized counseling services. But, you also need therapy that fits with your lifestyle. As a therapist and human, I understand. Online counseling services at Better Life Therapy may be the answer you’ve been looking for. I help people like you in an empathetic and nonjudgmental way. As an online therapist, I specialize in many different areas. I provided anxiety counseling to many clients. In addition, I frequently offer depression counseling. I am also certified to provide transgender and nonbinary care.

How Will Online Therapy Work?

Our session for online therapy will take place via video chat. Don't worry, video chat is secure. You and I will be able to hear and see each other the entire time. Isn't technology wonderful? Advancements in online therapy have made receiving counseling from home very efficient. Altogether, I am able to offer you effective mental health services. The best part? All this, without all the hassle of coming into a counseling office.

Benefits of Online Therapy

Online therapy is a great way to save you time and stress. You don’t have to worry about fighting the Miami traffic in rush hour. Instead, you can start your counseling session right there in your home. Or, in your office through a secure platform on your computer or smartphone. Benefits of online counseling are:

• Increased access to specialized therapists

  • There may be limited or no mental health services in your area. It can be tough to find a therapist that can help you with your specific concerns. However, that can be avoided! It doesn't matter if you live in a rural area or a busy city in Florida. Online therapy allows you to have direct access to an online therapist.

• Save time on traveling

  • Being in the car and dealing with traffic is frustrating. Accidents, detours, and stopping for gas can add to already long commute times. With online therapy there’s less risk of running late and feeling stressed.

• Consistent therapy

  • Missing a session is a thing of the past. You don’t have to worry about weather conditions, sickness, or physical limitations.

• Flexibility

  • You can schedule appointments that work with your schedule. Online therapy provides a wide range of availability.

• Comfort

  • You don’t have to worry about other people knowing you're receiving counseling. The awkwardness of being seen and dealing with social stigma is avoided. Instead, you can be in your own space with a cozy blanket and your calming furry friend lying on your lap. In addition, online therapy is also effective with teens. Most of the time, our teens are more used to interacting with others on the Internet.

Is Online Therapy Effective?

The effectiveness of online therapy has been a hot topic recently. Often, we're curious if it's just as effective as in-person therapy. When comparing the two, studies found that client satisfaction is similar regardless. Online therapy is found to be much less stressful than in-person therapy. Researchers refer to this as the “online calming effect”. I have clients who worked with me in-person and then transitioned to online therapy. From my experience, it aligns with the research.
