One thing we have learned after the COVID pandemic is that it is possible to do good, effective therapy by video conference. Research has shown that teletherapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. My clients have expressed a high degree of satisfaction with teletherapy as well. Specifically, the accessible, feasible, and flexible nature of teletherapy. And while teletherapy is not recommended for everyone, I find that it is preferred by many of my clients.

Additionally, while I am based in Bel Air, MD, I am able to see individuals across the United States, and I will often transition with clients who are going to college, moving back with family, going on vacation (if they wish to still have therapy that week!), and moving due to switching jobs or receiving promotions. I utilize a secure, HIPAA-compliant video conference platform to ensure confidentiality is protected. For clients worried about privacy from other members living in the home, I recommend using a sound machine and I also talk to parents directly to receive their consent that their child’s privacy will be respected.
