Perhaps you\u2019re a busy mom who doesn\u2019t have a minute let alone an hour to herself with all that you have to juggle.<\/em><\/p>\n What if you could cut out the driving time and eliminate the traffic stressors and have the ability to partner with your experienced counselor or coach over the phone or via video conferencing (e.g., Skype) at your convenience?<\/em><\/p>\n Perhaps you feel uneasy talking with a counselor in-person or you\u2019re afraid to be seen walking into or out of her office.<\/em><\/p>\n Maybe you don\u2019t want to have to rely on a babysitter so you can make it to your regular appointments.<\/em><\/p>\n Perhaps you live in a more remote area and don\u2019t have the time to drive into the city to see a counselor or wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable seeing someone in your own home town.<\/em><\/p>\n Recent studies by the likes of Columbia University and Johns Hopkins University have shown that working with a counselor online works just as well as in person, and maybe better.<\/p>\n Technology-assisted distance counseling or coaching involves the use of a computer, tablet, or mobile phone equipped with a webcam.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have access to this equipment, we can simply talk over the phone.\u00a0 Online counseling, also known as distance counseling, etherapy, virtual therapy, and tele-therapy refers to sessions that are not in-person, though if we\u2019re using a video conferencing application, our meetings will be face-to-face online.\u00a0 While this medium may not be for everyone, it is definitely a convenient and effective fit for many.\u00a0 This way you can have your support network with you where ever you are \u2013 at the office, at home, traveling for business or even while you\u2019re on vacation.<\/p>\n We meet at our scheduled time \u201cvirtually\u201d using Zoom (a HIPAA-compliant video call platform), a service that is free for you and very easy to use.\u00a0 All you need is a computer, tablet, or mobile device equipped with a webcam or you can purchase a webcam separately.\u00a0 I can help you set this up in our first call if need be.\u00a0 We use our webcams to see and hear each other just as you would in an in-person, in-office setting.<\/p>\n The care, support and accountability of having your own counselor or coach available to you by phone or Skype gives you an easy opportunity to change your life for the better and get the help you need and deserve.<\/p>\n And to make it even easier, I\u2019d like to offer you a free, no obligation 20-minute call or video conferencing session to get things started and get any questions answered.\u00a0 The most important thing about a counselor\/coach and client relationship is fit.\u00a0 Let\u2019s explore your goals and how I may be of assistance in that initial call and if you\u2019d like to seek assistance elsewhere, I\u2019ll be happy to refer you to someone else as appropriate.<\/p>\nHow Does Video Conferencing Work?<\/b><\/h4>\n
