Frequently Asked Questions
If you're new to online therapy in Washington, you may have questions. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive, along with detailed answers to help you make informed decisions.
What is Online Therapy?
Online therapy, also known as teletherapy or virtual counseling, is a form of therapy conducted via secure video conferencing. It allows you to connect with licensed therapists from the comfort and privacy of your own home, offering the same benefits as in-person sessions. You’ll receive high-quality, personalized care without the need to travel, making therapy more accessible and convenient.
The technology used for online therapy at Careton Counseling is HIPAA-compliant, ensuring that your sessions are private, confidential, and secure. All you need is a stable internet connection, a computer or mobile device with a camera, and a quiet, private space to attend your sessions.
Concern Addressed: "Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?" Yes, research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. It provides the same opportunity for open communication, professional guidance, and therapeutic growth.
How Does It Work?
Once you sign up for our services, we’ll schedule an initial consultation to assess your needs and match you with a therapist who specializes in the area you’re seeking help with. During this consultation, we’ll also explain how online therapy works and answer any questions you may have.
For each therapy session, you’ll receive a secure link to join via video conferencing. Our platform is easy to use, and we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions to make sure you’re comfortable before your first session. During your therapy sessions, you can expect a similar structure as in-person therapy—your therapist will actively listen, guide the conversation, and help you work through the issues that matter most to you.
Concern Addressed: "What if I’m not tech-savvy?" Don’t worry! Our platform is very user-friendly, and we’ll walk you through the setup process. If you encounter any difficulties, we provide tech support and are happy to assist you to ensure that your sessions run smoothly.
Is It Right for Me?
Online therapy is a great option if you’re looking for flexibility and convenience. It’s especially helpful for individuals who:
Live in remote or rural areas of Washington where access to in-person therapy may be limited.
Have busy schedules and need the flexibility to attend therapy from home, work, or while traveling.
Feel more comfortable engaging in therapy from their own home or private space, which can enhance openness and vulnerability.
If you’re dealing with mild to moderate mental health concerns, relationship issues, or general life stressors, online therapy can be highly effective. However, it may not be the best option for those experiencing severe mental health crises or those who require close, in-person monitoring. If you’re unsure whether online therapy is the right fit, our therapists will be happy to consult with you and help you make the best decision based on your specific needs.
Concern Addressed: "What if I prefer in-person therapy?" While we primarily offer online therapy, we understand that some individuals may prefer in-person interaction. In such cases, we can discuss referrals and alternatives.
What Equipment Do I Need?
To participate in online therapy, you’ll need a few basic tools:
A computer, tablet, or smartphone with a working camera and microphone.
A reliable internet connection to ensure uninterrupted video sessions.
A quiet, private space where you can talk openly without distractions.
We recommend testing your device and internet connection before your first session to ensure everything runs smoothly. If you’re unsure about your setup, feel free to reach out, and we can help guide you.
Concern Addressed: "What if I don’t have a quiet place?" We understand that it’s not always easy to find privacy at home. If you’re worried about this, consider scheduling your session during a time when your environment is likely to be quieter, such as when family members are out. You can also try using headphones to enhance privacy. Some clients have been know to join sessions from a parked vehicle.
Is Online Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Yes, many insurance providers cover online therapy sessions in the same way they cover in-person sessions. At Careton Counseling we do not accept any insurance plans, but we can offer receipts or a superbill if your insurance allows out-of-network coverage. If you don’t have insurance, we offer affordable self-pay options to ensure that cost doesn’t stand in the way of your mental health care.
Concern Addressed: "What if my insurance doesn’t cover online therapy?" If your insurance does not cover online therapy, we offer competitive self-pay rates and can discuss flexible payment plans to accommodate your budget. We aim to do our part to make therapy accessible and affordable to everyone in Washington State.
