What is Telehealth?

Telehealth, also known as Teletherapy, is a method to meet with your counselor online to virtually receive therapeutic services instead of meeting in person to receive therapy. 

How do I know if Teletherapy is right for me?

  • Our Telehealth services are great for anyone residing in Oregon who has the ability to connect with a computer or phone and maintain a strong wifi connection during the therapy session. 
  • Potential clients for Teletherapy must reside in Oregon to receive care, and clients must be physically located in Oregon at the time of service.
  • Telehealth is not a suitable intervention for those in a mental health crisis, or in a situation where immediate medical treatment may be needed. 
  • Telehealth may be right for you if you enjoy meeting online due to the convenience and effectiveness versus feeling it is a hindrance to the process of therapy. 
  • For the best Teletherapy experience, the client will need to give feedback to the therapist about their experience in order for the therapist to provide customized tips and tools to assist when needed. 
  • Telehealth requires good communication between client and therapist so it is important that the client feels comfortable asking for help and implementing help to have a positive Teletherapy experience in Oregon.  
  • To ensure confidentiality during a Telehealth session, it is important to have access to a private setting in which they will be uninterrupted for the duration of the counseling.
  • Teletherapy does not require extensive knowledge related to technology, our portal is user friendly as it takes one click to connect to sessions, and no need to download applications to meet with your therapist. Some knowledge of maintaining a WiFi connection and prior experience with virtual meetings may be helpful but is not required. 

Benefits to Teletherapy

  • Telehealth has increased in popularity during the pandemic in Oregon as a way to provide accessible therapy. In times of national unrest and uncertainty, connecting to therapy from the safety of home has become increasingly important for clients to begin and maintain continuity of care. 
  • Increased traffic and congestion in Oregon has made Teletherapy a desired option as clients search for more time in their day. It saves time by avoiding traffic in Oregon and scheduling conflicts that may limit available sessions.
  • Teletherapy provides more scheduling options and therapy availability for clients who are able to connect and enjoy the online therapy environment. 
  • Teletherapy allows clients the flexibility and convenience of connecting with their therapist from the comfort of their own home in Oregon.

How to Prepare for Telehealth Counseling Session

  • Teletherapy requires a client to create a private and confidential setting in order to participate in a session, to maintain good WiFi and computer or phone capability to connect to the virtual session. 
  • Talk with your therapist for the best practices to create a simple, comfortable, and effective therapeutic online environment at home. As stated above, the client must physically be in Oregon at the time of service.
  • The therapist will send you a link in which you are able to test your WiFi and video connection prior to the Telehealth counseling session. 
  • After clicking the link, you will wait in the virtual waiting room prior to your session start time. Your therapist will connect with you through the online portal at the appointment time for your Teletherapy session. 

Providing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Online in Oregon

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidenced based therapy that is widely accepted and growing in popularity for its efficacy with high functioning adults in online and in person environments. Teletherapy sessions will allow the therapist to model a secure attachment response and assist the client to reduce anxious or avoidant attachment patterns. 
  • The goal during the online Teletherapy session is for the client to experience secure attachment and move towards maintaining a secure attachment response of love and security while working through issues. EFT is used in online and in person modalities as the client and clinician work together in what Emotionally Focused Therapy's founder, Sue Johnson, refers to as the EFT dance or EFT Tango. 
  • EFT through Telehealth is completed in an online environment by a skilled therapist who is heightening secure versus insecure attachment responses in the EFT dance while modeling secure attachment, and assisting with emotional de-escalation and emotional regulation.
  • Emotionally Focused therapy is experiential in nature pairing well with the online therapy environment in which the therapist will be able to meet with and assist the client in their current emotional state. This is observable in the Teletherapy session through private and quality video and audio sessions. 
  • EFT is not for clients in crisis. EFT works best with client's who are able to provide feedback to the therapist as they interact online with the therapist in the Teletherapy environment.
