What is Online Psychotherapy? Online psychotherapy is traditional cognitive behavioral psychotherapy conducted online via video conferencing.
What do I need? A webcam. A high speed internet connection (DSL or cable). Nothing else is needed.
Is this different from traditional psychotherapy? This IS traditional psychotherapy. The only difference is that we are not in the same physical room. But this is counseling, just as if you had traveled across town and walked into my office. The fact that you are in your own home or office increases your comfort level and actually makes the process more effective.
What about security? Counseling is a private and confidential experience Sessions are conducted over a secure line on a secure platform over a secure connection. Privacy and confidentiality is paramount in this process.
Are you licensed? Yes. I am licensed as a LCSW in the state of New York, the states highest level of licensure. I have over 15 years experience as a therapist. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and I am fully insured.
Pricing? In my office in New York, I charge between $150 and $200 per session. However as online therapy reduces my costs, I am able to lower the fee to $100 per session. This fee is paid online at the time of service via PayPal. You can use your credit card or checking account.
At this time I am not working with any insurance companies but I am able to provide an invoice of services for you to submit to your insurance company for possible access of out of network benefits.
