New Jersey Telehealth Therapy
What Is Telehealth Therapy?
Telehealth services have changed the mental health landscape. Long gone are the days when you have to schedule an in-person appointment to speak with a mental health professional. River & Rose offers virtual therapy to New Jersey residents who want to virtually speak with a licensed therapist from the comfort of their home.
What Is Telehealth Therapy?
Telehealth therapy involves mental health services through the phone or online. Video conferencing is often preferred, but texting and calls are also popular options, depending on the company. River & Rose offers sessions on multiple video platforms.
How Effective Is Telehealth for Mental Health?
It’s an effective option for individuals wanting mental health services. Many find it beneficial as long as they find a therapist who they like and feel they can work with.
Benefits of Telehealth Therapy
There are multiple advantages of telehealth therapy, including:
-
Getting to an in-person therapy appointment usually involves driving there and back, plus looking for parking. With telehealth therapy, you just have to locate a place where you can speak freely and feel comfortable, and it may involve no travel at all.Description text goes here
-
Gas, tolls, and parking fees are three costs you don’t have to worry about with telehealth therapy.
-
Individuals who live in remote areas, are stressed parents, don’t drive, have disabilities, and are busy with work may have a much easier time speaking to a therapist virtually.
-
Telehealth therapy involves finding a quiet place to converse and using your preferred form of communication. It’s a convenient option that makes connecting with a therapist easier than ever, whether you do it at home, in your car, in a park or anywhere else you can have a private conversation.
-
It can sometimes be easier to feel comfortable talking about personal topics if you’re in a familiar space, such as on your couch at home.
-
Speaking virtually with a therapist means not worrying about walking, driving, or taking public transportation in inclement weather. Even if you’re stuck indoors due to terrible weather, you can still safely keep your scheduled appointment, as long as you have a good internet connection.
-
Patients who opt for in-person appointments typically choose a therapist near their home or work for convenience purposes. Telehealth therapy makes it easier to speak with a therapist who may not necessarily be in the same state.
Is an Online Therapist as Effective as In-Person Mental Health Services?
Generally speaking, telehealth can be just as effective as in-person mental health services. However, what’s most important is the effort the therapist and patient put into the process. There should also be a significant professional connection that allows the patient to feel comfortable opening up and speaking candidly.
