Virtual counseling is the provision of mental health services using secure, HIPAA-compliant telecommunications technology, such as video conferencing. It allows you to have a therapy session with a licensed professional without being in the same physical location.

Research indicates that for many mental health concerns, virtual counseling can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy. We provide the same level of professional care, but with the added convenience and flexibility of meeting online.

Our team is experienced in addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and stress management. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs and determine if virtual counseling is the right fit for you.

To ensure a smooth and private session, you will need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone). We will provide you with a secure, encrypted link to our HIPAA-compliant platform before your session. We recommend finding a quiet, private space where you will not be interrupted.

Absolutely. We adhere to all state and federal privacy laws, including HIPAA. All of your sessions and personal information are kept strictly confidential. The only exceptions to this are legally mandated situations, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of suspected abuse or neglect.

Beyond the Chair is not an emergency service. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or dial 911 for immediate assistance.
