Village Counseling offers online therapy via our Telehealth platform. Telehealth is a form of virtual therapy, which allows you to stay in the comfortability of your own home! Telehealth is effective, easy to use, convenient, and reliable.
Once your session is scheduled, all you will need is an electronic device (computer, iPad, phone) and a private place where you feel comfortable speaking with your therapist.
Conditions Treated Through Telehealth Therapy
Telehealth and online therapy have emerged as effective methods for treating a wide range of mental health conditions. These include depression, various anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, panic disorder, eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, substance use disorders, adjustment disorders, stress-related disorders, and addressing specific phobias. The convenience and accessibility of telehealth services enable individuals to receive comprehensive mental health care remotely, breaking down barriers to treatment and facilitating timely interventions.
By utilizing telehealth technology, individuals can engage in effective therapy sessions from the comfort of their homes, promoting continuity of care and fostering positive outcomes in their mental health journey.
Techniques Used in Telehealth Therapy
Telehealth and online therapy utilize various techniques and approaches to provide effective mental health care.
At Village Counseling, we use a variety of techniques tailored to your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help correct negative thought patterns and behaviors affecting your mental health. Mindfulness-based therapy will enhance your present-moment awareness and acceptance, reducing stress and boosting overall well-being. We’ll also employ solution-focused therapy for goal-oriented progress in a short timeframe, and interpersonal therapy (IPT) to improve communication and relationship skills. Psychodynamic therapy will help us explore unconscious thoughts and past experiences for deeper insights, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive strategies with mindfulness to manage intense emotions and enhance relationships.
Through motivational interviewing, we’ll navigate ambivalence towards behavior changes, and expressive therapies like art and music therapy will encourage emotional processing and self-expression, all aimed at supporting your journey towards emotional well-being.
