Online Therapy

Counseling by video, anywhere in Wisconsin.

Online therapy

How it works

From link to session in four steps.

1

A link by email

The day before, a private link to a secure video room. No app to install, and no account.

2

A two-minute test

Open the link early to check camera and sound. Our front desk can call you if anything fails.

3

The waiting room

Wait on screen until your therapist lets you in. Nobody else can join the call.

4

Your session

Fifty minutes, the same as in the room. At the start we confirm where you are, so help can reach you.

Your side of the screen

Set up once, forget about it.

A ten-minute check the first time saves the first five minutes of every session after it.

Device

  • Laptop or tablet on a stand, camera at eye level
  • Plugged in, with other apps closed
  • Headphones, so the room stays private

Space

  • A room with a door that closes
  • Light in front of you, not behind
  • A parked car works well when home is busy

Connection

  • Wi-fi close by, or a cable
  • Phone switched to silent
  • Our number saved, in case the call drops

Safety on screen

Before we start, we ask where you are.

Every video session begins with your address for the day and a number to reach you. If the call drops or you become unwell, your therapist knows where help needs to go.

Online sessions are for clients who are in Wisconsin at the time, the state where our therapists are licensed. If you are travelling, tell us and we will move the session.
