You may ask, “What Is Distance Counseling and Why Is It So Great?” Teletherapy is a form of distance counseling that can help tweens, teens, and adults feel supported and nurtured across the miles. There are many reasons people seek out distance counseling over traditional, in person sessions. In the article below, you will learn more about what to do to be prepared for your first distance counseling phone or video session.
To begin, call or text 860-451-9364 for online counseling and distance video therapy.
How Do I Prepare For My First TeleTherapy Session?
To prepare for TeleTherapy via video counseling, make sure that you’re in a well lit room. Check your video screen to make sure it works before your session begins. Figure out all technical issues before hand so you don’t waste your session time. Read more about Katie Ziskind, LMFT, RYT500, here.

Other Things To Keep In Mind: Distance Counseling Success
If there’s too much light on your face in the video screen, your face will be washed out and white. Or, if there’s too little light on your face, your face will be dark and it will be hard to see you. More, be in a quiet room with no background noise or music. Also, close down other programs on your computer for the fastest video speed.
What Color Shirt Should I Wear For My TeleTherapy Session?
Also, wear a solid color shirt rather than something patterned. Sometimes, pattern shirts can make your camera lag due to more colors.
Where Should I Set Up My Camera?
To note, be a private room where you will not be disturbed or distracted. Further, if you’re at home, let other family members know that you’ll need an hour to yourself.
What Does My TeleTherapist Need From Me Before I Can Have A Distance Counseling Session?
Before beginning TeleTherapy, it’s important to let your therapist know your local emergency police as well as an emergency contact in case anything happens to you during the session. Further, your therapist can reach out and get you help that way. In our client portal, you can sign all those documents before we start.

Why and How Is TeleTherapy So Helpful?
TeleTherapy is a wonderful way to have support across the miles no matter how far away you are from your therapist. To begin, call or text 860-451-9364 for online counseling and distance video therapy.
Who Is TeleTherapy For?
Well, anyone. Sometimes, you may want someone to talk to. Or, anxiety coping skills and more self-care techniques. More, you may need support instantly. And, it can be at your own schedule. So, if need a session sooner than later, call us 860-451-9364. Manytimes, therapists have long waitlists for in person sessions. Or, therapists don’t return calls or aren’t accepting new clients. Likewise, travel times and commutes can prevent therapy from being an option. And, when it snows, you may feel unsafe driving to your therapy session, so teletherapy is best. To begin, call or text 860-451-9364 for online counseling and distance video therapy.
Travel For Work?
If you travel for work, scheduling an in person session weekly can seem impossible. Simply jump on your laptop or phone and have your therapy session! Or, you may live in a rural town far away from therapists with the expertise that you need for personal growth. I offer holistic teletherapy for angry teens and young adults and specialized sex therapy for distant couples. Teenagers who are on the phone all day anyway are often really easy-going when it comes to distance counseling sessions!
