Tips for Telehealth

Online Therapy is a convenient, enjoyable way to receive help from the comfort of your own home . With a little preparation, you can make your online therapy session go as smoothly as possible.

1. Get Ready : Schedule 10-20 minutes before your first session to review instructions from your therapist for how to access the video portal. Test it out to make sure it works before the session starts.

2. Minimize Distractions : Aim for a quiet environment, free from distractions. Notify family members and roomates that you will be having a private call. Ask them to turn down music and television so that it doesn’t disturb you.

3. Be Prepared : Double check your Internet connection. Make sure your device is charged and/or your charger is near. Headphones are encouraged for best sound quality, but are not required.

4. Optimize Your Connection : Setup your computer on a flat surface. This will eliminate shakiness on the video. Make sure your face is fully in the frame. A computer is best, but a phone or an iPad can work in a pinch!

5. Keep Calm : Tech issues are normal as everyone adjusts. Keep in contact with your therapist via phone or email to sort things out if you have trouble connecting. In the event of technical difficulties, please check your email and have your phone handy for us to give you our plan B system instructions (https://doxy.me) or do a phone call. We may be calling you from a blocked number so be sure to answer.

6. Get Comfy : Snuggle up with your favorite blanket, a warm cup of tea, tissues if needed, and your pet (if they are cuddly!). If your pet is rambunctious, let them play in another room to minimize distractions.

7. Connect as Normal : Look into your therapist’s eyes, rather than at the camera, or your own face. Treat it like a normal session! You may be surprised to learn that video sessions an feel just as personal as in-person ones.
