What Is Online Counseling (Telehealth Therapy) in Georgia?

Online counseling, also known as telehealth therapy, telemental health, or virtual counseling, allows you to meet with a licensed therapist through secure video or phone sessions. Telehealth therapy offers the same professional standards, clinical approaches, and confidentiality as in-person counseling.

All online counseling sessions at Paraclete Counseling Center are conducted using a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, ensuring your privacy and personal information are protected at all times.

Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person Counseling?

Yes. Research consistently shows that online counseling is as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related issues.
