Teletherapy Orlando and What it Is

What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy is a method of online delivery for mental health therapy services. It is done through high-resolution and live video conferencing. Teletherapy sessions are in many ways similar to the traditional talk therapy in an office setting. The only difference is that you're not sitting with the therapist in the same office.

During the Teletherapy sessions, the client and the therapist are able to see, hear, and also interact with the client in real time. If you have ever used forums such as Skype or FaceTime on your computer, then you are familiar with this type of technology.

Therapy is very much the same as if the therapist were to be delivering face-to-face. Licensed mental health therapists will utilize traditional therapy models and will enhance these techniques through innovative software and tools. Technology is literally at the therapist fingertips. They can plan and deliver to their clients very high-quality services.

Teletherapy Orlando: Why is Teletherapy Necessary?

There are approximately 5% of the American school-aged population (3.5 million children), that require speech or occupational as well as mental health services. This need is growing rapidly each year. There seems to be a shortage of qualified therapist to meet these needs. This is particularly true in rural areas. This shortage makes it very difficult for the schools to be able to provide the adequate services for their students.
