Online Therapy in Oklahoma
You can have an online therapy session anywhere you can get internet access. This includes Norman, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Broken Arrow—anywhere in Oklahoma. All you need is a tablet, computer, or any mobile device. In fact, my clients talk to me from home or in the office. They may even talk to me while taking a walk. Or, sitting in their car on their lunch break. Online therapy in Oklahoma offers the simplest way to make time for your mental health.
Does online therapy work?
Online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. I use a variety of counseling methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR. They are effective and adaptable to work in online therapy.
Isn’t it awkward to talk to a therapist online?
Some may find the idea of a video counseling session for depression counseling or anxiety treatment to be a little awkward. But, many clients have reported that after a few sessions, they sometimes forget they’re talking to a screen. That’s been my experience as an online therapist. After a few minutes, the screen seems to disappear. Then, it’s as if I’m right there with you. We can connect in an online counseling session just like we would in person.
Of course, technical difficulties can sometimes cause some frustration. But, in general, I find that my clients are as engaged in their counseling as when I worked with people in person. My clients enjoy being able to talk to an online therapist in Oklahoma without having to leave work or find a babysitter. They like being able to have complete control of the setting in which they receive therapy, and they can find a space that makes them most comfortable.
Online Therapy from Anywhere in the State of Oklahoma
I like online therapy in Oklahoma because it greatly increases the number of people I can offer my services to. Most of my clients live in Tulsa, but I serve clients from all over Oklahoma. I enjoy talking to people from different parts of the state. It’s great that I can meet with someone in Tulsa for one hour, has a therapy session with someone in Broken Arrow the next, and finish the day meeting with someone in Stillwater. By offering online therapy services, I can serve anyone who needs my services including people living in more rural parts of Oklahoma who would otherwise have few choices of therapists to see.
Truthfully, I find it very helpful that we’re both on a computer. In some ways, it can make it even easier for me to offer you the best possible counseling experience. For example, I can send you videos, worksheets, and other tools that we can use together in the session.
Teletherapy in Oklahoma: Therapy over the phone
I was surprised to discover how much I enjoy teletherapy over the phone! It’s not something I ever intended to use. In fact, I thought it was a strange idea and had no interest in trying it out. But, recently a therapy client requested it. I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. I’ve found it to be an excellent way of providing counseling to my clients.
My phone counseling clients enjoy the fact that they can call me when they’re exercising or driving to work. Some people don’t enjoy seeing their own faces on a screen, and others like the idea of anonymity when receiving teletherapy. Others are unable to reliably access the internet for a video call, in which case teletherapy can help them receive counseling.
Not being able to see the person I’m talking to can be a little tricky at times. But, I do my best to listen closely and ask more questions to make sure I’m still providing you with high-quality teletherapy.
