Telehealth Counseling

FAQs
Is online therapy as effective?
The American Psychological Association has reviewed research and noted that telehealth counseling can be “just as effective as the face-to-face care” in many situations. Many of our clients have found it to be very helpful. You may even find it more comfortable!
Is telehealth counseling secure and private?
We use a secure site that is approved by HIPAA and HITECH. Our therapist will be in a private office where no one else can hear or see. We suggest you also choose a location that is safe, private, and avoids interruptions.
Can my child or teenager do telehealth counseling?
Many teenagers are more comfortable using technology and may prefer online counseling. For younger children, as long as they can stay focused enough to stay on camera, they may be able to do telehealth counseling.
Is online counseling worth the cost?
Most people feel that online counseling is worth the cost. LifeWorks Resources works with insurance providers to make sure that your telehealth counseling is covered. We are here to help you and never want cost to be a barrier to you getting the help that you need. Please let us know if you have any concerns and we will try to work with your unique situation.

What is Telehealth Counseling?
Telehealth counseling provides you a convenient and flexible way to schedule counseling when in-person sessions are difficult to prioritize. When adding one more thing to your schedule feels overwhelming, scheduling a telehealth appointment that you can take wherever you feel comfortable may be the best option for you. These appointments are facilitated through our secure, online platform, ensuring your privacy.
With the help of a compassionate, Christ-centered therapist you can get help to process through your thoughts, feelings, and decisions. Telehealth counseling can help you find peace in uncertainty and may be a good option for you.
What to Expect from Telehealth Counseling
Once you schedule your appointment (via website, text, or phone) you will receive a link to access your secure appointment on your computer, laptop, tablet, or phone. You will type in your name and then be in the virtual waiting room. At your appointment time, your therapist will login and connect to you.
Your counselor wants to hear about your journey and will work with you to develop a plan based on what you want to accomplish in online counseling. You will work together to learn new coping skills and ways to overcome the thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms you may be experiencing. In follow up sessions we will move beyond coping skills to get to the core of your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions to help you discover peace. At LifeWorks Resources you will have a safe place online to be open and honest about where you are.
