Online Therapy in Brooklyn, NY

Teletherapy, alternatively referred to as online therapy, video therapy, or online counseling, involves therapists or counselors offering psychological treatment and support via online platforms. Telepsychiatry, on the other hand, entails live video consultations with a psychiatrist for medication management and therapy. The integration of video-based mental health services with a virtual psychiatrist represents a recent initiative aimed at enhancing treatment accessibility through remote care.

Here at the Williamsburg Therapy Group, we utilize secure two-way video conferencing for our sessions. We firmly believe that live interactions are instrumental in making therapy more convenient while fostering a supportive rapport with your provider.

The treatment you receive from our professional counselors via teletherapy and telepsychiatry mirrors that of in-person appointments. The primary distinction lies in the flexibility and convenience that online therapy affords, allowing us to tailor our services to your schedule.

At Williamsburg Therapy Group, online counseling is conducted by our doctoral-level providers, the same professionals who offer in-person therapy at our practice. Upon scheduling your appointment, you and your provider will engage in a secure two-way video conference call for your session.

For your appointment with your virtual therapist or virtual psychiatrst, we advise arranging to be in a private space. This ensures you feel at ease discussing sensitive information and mental health matters with your therapist.

Online therapy in Brooklyn and across New York State offers a convenient avenue for mental health treatment, ensuring individuals receive consistent psychological support. These modalities enhance the accessibility of mental health services, accommodating various situations such as work commitments, travel constraints, or difficulties in meeting in person. With video conferencing, you can receive treatment from the comfort of your home, eliminating the need to navigate travel time and public transit.

Many individuals find online therapy to be just as comfortable and natural as in-person sessions. Online mental health treatment offers accessibility and convenience for clients seeking psychological support and care. However, certain situations may necessitate in-person consultation and treatment, including:

• Specific anxiety treatments
• Relationship issues (couples, family, business partners)
• Child therapy
• Neuropsychological testing

If you choose to begin individual therapy with one of our providers, you can explore the possibility of combining in-person and teletherapy sessions. Our goal is to offer a useful and convenient treatment option for you.
