How Online Counseling therapy Works
I am prepared to meet your needs if you are interested in social distancing and/ getting care while minimizing your outside contact. If you live in an underserved, remote area I can also help you from any part of Arizona. Online counseling allows flexibility with your scheduling, such as on your break or lunch, or even after dinner or on the weekends. Limiting commuting to an office saves you time, too. It is safe, HIPAA compliant, and effective.
Clients enjoy saving tons of time driving to the office. Clients avoid contact and stay safe during COVID 19. Clients feel more relaxed in their own home setting.
