I provide online sex therapy services to individuals and relationships in Oregon, Connecticut, and New York
Telehealth closely resembles a face to face therapy session and has been shown to as effective by peer-reviewed research.
Online therapy is becoming a typical modality in providing therapy. I have been providing online sex therapy for 5 years and it is the same as in person therapy. I don’t feel the therapy is compromised in any way. I am able to work on all sex therapy issues.
I meet with my clients regularly via Zoom. They get an invite and login to the Zoom app. Many of them say it’s easier because they don’t have to leave the house or find parking. Telehealth works well with people that have children or pets because they don’t have to find a sitter. I have sat with many of the cutest babies and puppies!
Research has found online therapy to be as effective as in-person therapy. They have found it effective for many mental health issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, etc. I have seen it work with sex therapy in my practice.
Researchers and clinicians have listed many benefits of online sex therapy as well as limitations of online sex therapy.
It is important to know how to find an online sex therapist that is a good fit for you and one that can handle sexual issues.
You want to make sure you know how online sex therapy works before you decide to do teletherapy.
Maintaining a healthy relationship can be challenging in today’s fast-paced world. With the demands of daily life, finding time to attend therapy sessions in person can be another hurdle for couples facing difficulties. However, the rise of online couples therapy is changing the landscape, offering a convenient, flexible, and effective alternative to traditional face-to-face counseling.
Online couples therapy provides the same services as traditional therapy but is conducted via digital platforms like Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet. It allows couples to communicate with a licensed therapist from the comfort of their own homes. This format is particularly beneficial for couples who struggle with scheduling conflicts, live in remote areas, or simply prefer the privacy of online sessions.
Research has shown that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many issues, including relationship and marital problems. Therapists are able to employ the same techniques they use in person, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), to help couples understand their problems and develop strategies to resolve conflicts and improve their relationship dynamics.
After you have scheduled a session with an online sex therapist, they will typically:
This varies on where you live and the experience of the therapist. Most therapists charge between $80-300 for a 50 minute session.
There are subscription plans or online group plans that offer online therapy at a reduced cost.
Most states have a telehealth mandate in place, and all telehealth services are billed the same way as face-to-face services.
Of course, I have had many sessions with kids and pets. But make sure your therapist is ok with this. I am used to kids and pets, so I welcome them. I also know how hard it is to find time where you aren’t taking care of them.
