Online therapy, or teletherapy, is when you receive counseling sessions from a licensed therapist with the assistance of technology. Typically, this is in the form of a video or audio call.
So what does that mean for you and your loved ones? That’s where teletherapy for families comes in.
At REACH Behavioral Health, we understand that mental health needs don’t pause for social distancing, school and business closures, or mask shortages. In fact, many of the issues that you’re facing could make your need and desire for therapy even greater. Online counseling for families is now one of the most valuable services we offer. You can get the help you need while safely staying at home.
Whatever your family is dealing with during the pandemic, it can cause stress. Have you suffered a job loss or reduced hours? Is your child or teen depressed from missing out on school activities and relationships? Are you grappling with the grief of losing a loved one? Each of these major life transitions might demand counseling, and our online therapy for families is the solution.

Most people are good candidates for online therapy! If you are unable to attend in-person counseling due to distance, illness, or other restrictions, teletherapy may be the right choice for you. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable about the idea of in-person counseling, online therapy is an excellent alternative. You can receive the same care that you would at a counseling office, all from the comfort of home.
Online therapy for families or individuals can be very helpful depending on your circumstances. Are you concerned about the spread of COVID-19? Unable to travel to the office? Have anxiety about leaving home? Teletherapy may be the answer. With online counseling, you will receive the same level of care and personalized service you would receive in the office – without ever leaving home.

In many cases, the answer is yes! Your family can often struggle during major life transitions like job changes, moving to a new city/state, divorce, losing a loved one, grappling with virtual learning, and more.

Getting the whole family together with a counselor may be the answer to working through emotions and struggles as well as uncovering solutions.
Depending on your situation, your family may be allowed, or even encouraged, to see the same therapist. The counselors at REACH are trained to assist with a variety of family needs and concerns.
