Is Teletherapy effective for children?

Some children and teens may be more open to therapy when it is conducted in this modality. Our therapists are using creative and therapeutic means to keep your child engaged. We will also include working with you as part of the process when appropriate.
Additional Information on Teletherapy
Online Video counseling (teletherapy) has actually been around in some shape or form since 1986. Although it is new to many, online therapy has been more and more used in the last decade. Due to our current technology such as FaceTime, Instagram, TikTok, etc. as a society we continue to connect in various ways. As such, teletherapy is a way for clients to connect with their therapists in a convenient and secure manner. Researchers and preliminary studies suggest that for many cases online therapy is as effective and sometimes even more effective than in-person sessions.
This type of therapy is especially useful for people in rural areas, those in the military, those who move frequently or people who travel for work and want to maintain a relationship with one therapist are great candidates for this method. Stay at home parents who don’t want to have to get a sitter for a therapy session can easily schedule a session from the comfort of their homes during nap time or have sessions if they have a partner who they can “tag-team” with later in the day. Additionally, those with physical or emotional limitations can eliminate barriers to care by connecting online.
