ONLINE THERAPY
What Is Online Therapy
Online therapy (telepsychology) is a type of therapy that is delivered via phone or online. Sessions that are done online are done through our secure video platform. This allows you to receive our services from a licenced therapist remotely, rather than in our offices.
Online therapy is both a convenient and effective option for people that may have difficulty getting to our offices for whatever reason, be it distance, mobility issues, or if you just want have sessions in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Many of the therapy treatments we offer, including (list out all of the services Ridgeline offers online like individual, or couples, etc and include links to those pages) can be conducted online with one of our licensed therapists.
