Freedom Counseling strongly believes in technology and convenience. Telehealth has taken drastic advanced in the last few years with more and more physicians, psychiatrists and mental health professional choosing to provide online services to clients who are unable to attend in-person appointments.

Although online counseling has many benefits and is a great option for many individuals, it also has its limitations. When choosing this type of a modality option please be aware that you’re in a quiet envoironment and able to fully benefit from the sessions. Freedom Counseling always informs our clients about the pros/cons when they opt for a Telehealth session as their preferred modality choice.

One of the most outstanding features of online counseling is the ability to connect individuals with the “right” counselor. Clients are no longer limited with someone practicing in their geographic area. For instance, although Freedom Counseling’s office location is the Tampa Bay region (New Tampa/ Wesley Chapel), clients from all over the state of Florida are able to book appointments and access mental health services.

Telehealth’s popularity is growing however, it’s definitely not a one size fits all option. Many clients still prefer to come to therapy and see their counselor face-to-faceIf you are unsure whether online therapy is the right fit for you, please remember that you can always return to in-person, office counseling. And if you think you want to give it a try, please feel free to contact us. We would love to help you!
