What Is Telehealth in Mental Health?
Telehealth refers to the delivery of healthcare services through secure digital platforms. In mental health, this includes:
- Video therapy sessions (the most common format)
- Phone-based counseling (when video is not possible)
- Occasional use of secure messaging for scheduling or follow-up
Online therapy, also called teletherapy, telemental health, or virtual counseling, allows you to receive care from the comfort of your home, office, or any private space. I provide online therapy and telehealth in DC and Maryland to my clients
