You can see a therapist online for any issue you would for a visit in person. The training and education that counselors take into the office with them is the same expertise they bring to you over a video call.

The internet gives us easy access to options that used to be difficult—and sometimes impossible—to reach. This day and age everything seems to be moving online. Games, dating, even entire communities are growing out in the ether of virtual space. 

Counseling is no different. The worldwide web has opened up treatment options beyond anything we had before. Now it’s possible for a couple experiencing marital issues in Little Rock, Arkansas to reach a therapist anywhere who is licensed in their state—all coordinated from our home base in San Francisco, California—without even leaving their home. They can now get quality counseling that they wouldn’t have had means to reach at one time not too long ago.

Now, no matter where you are, you can experience the same high-quality counseling from Empathi that San Francisco has enjoyed for years. Contact us today to begin your online sessions. 

Our counselors are experienced professionals, knowledgeable in many forms of therapy. Whether you’re holding onto past trauma that won’t seem to let you go, engaged in perpetual conflict with your romantic partner, or facing emotional issues that you don’t know exactly how they began, our expert therapists can help you in your difficult time and give you the tools to come out the other side with a sense of peace and ease about life.

Subjectively, one might be inclined to believe that online therapy wouldn’t be as helpful as face-to-face, in-person counseling. However, evidence suggests that online counseling is just as effective as in-person counseling. This is especially true of depression disorders, panic disorders, and generalized anxiety. With a good internet connection, a video call with a therapist doesn’t mask or dilute non-verbal communication and facial cues. Tone and intent carry over just as well online as when you’re sitting right there with the person.

Apart from the effectiveness of therapy online, virtual sessions offer a host of other benefits, from better access to greater options. 

Seeing a counselor or psychologist online gives you access to quality mental healthcare from anywhere—as long as your therapist is licensed in your state. This is especially beneficial to people in remote rural areas, where the drive to a mental health professional might take an hour or more. 

Online counseling also opens up a wide array of options for services. You’re no longer relegated to just local psychological help. You can look up quality counseling services across your state or around the country and find one that may suit you better than anyone you’ve looked into in your home town.

The fact is, online counseling opens up a whole new world of mental health for everybody, and Empathi is here to provide you with the highest quality counseling services available nationwide.

Online counseling typically costs the same as traditional counseling. Except for the location, you receive identical service and benefits from online as you would from in-person counseling. You can expect the cost of counseling to run between $100 and $250 per session. Counselors with extensive experience or advanced degrees may charge more.

Our pricing ranges from $150 – $500. Schedule a free consult and we’ll find a therapist in your price range.

Do an internet search for online counseling related to your particular issues. Therapists and counseling centers with a good result rate are going to have outstanding reviews. Read comments from previous clients to gauge what kind of dynamic you might have with the counselor.

Schedule a consultation with a counselor once you’ve come across one that seems like a good fit for you. Prepare questions to ask during the consultation.

Some questions that are good to get answered ahead of time are:

• What are your credentials regarding my specific issue?
• What kind of experience do you have with my specific issue?
• What does successful treatment look like?
• How long should I expect counseling to last?

During your first visit, get a feel for the professional that’s working with you. Determine if their communication style fits with your individual dynamic. Get a sense of how much you trust your therapist to provide you with the best treatment. If you don’t necessarily click on your initial visit, or the way the counselor communicates isn’t right for you, most counseling centers will allow you to switch therapists.

Once you start therapy, stick with it. People who follow their counseling plan all the way through see the best results. It might not always be easy, but it will always be worth it.

Empathi counselors are well trained in communication, and are able to adjust their approach to fit each individual. We have the tools and the skills to see you through any situation, through any means, to help you set the course for your life that you want to see.
