FAQs about Online Therapy in Atlanta
How does Online Therapy work?
Online Therapy is easy with SimplePractice. When you book a session with your Atlanta therapist, you will create a client profile in the app. At your appointment time, you will be able to click on a link in your SimplePractice calendar that will redirect you to a secure online platform where you can video call with your therapist. After your session, you have the option to book another session, message your therapist, handle billing info, and more, all in the app. It’s that simple!
Why Online vs. In Person?
Online therapy gives you the flexibility to fit therapy into your schedule without the added time of a commute. Many of our clients have full schedules in between work, kids, and other obligations. Online therapy makes it easier to fit in therapy without sacrificing time. It is also a great option for those who don’t have a car, are located far from our office, who have accessibility needs, have small children or other dependents at home, or for those who just prefer virtual appointments.
How much does Online Therapy cost?
Online therapy is priced the same as our in-person therapy, which ranges from $120-$200 per 50 minute session. All of our Atlanta therapists offer a reduced fee sliding scale when finances are an issue.
Is In-Person Therapy better than Online Therapy?
There are no differences in results for clients that choose in-person therapy versus online therapy. It all comes down to personal preference and what is a better fit for you! Do you prefer speaking face-to-face, or are you just as comfortable with a video call or phone call? Do you feel more comfortable at home, or do you find other environments energizing? Maybe you feel you would benefit from doing a mix of both. These are some of the things to consider when making your decision.
How long does the Online Therapy process take?
Similar to in-person therapy, this will vary depending on a person’s goals, progress, and level of need. Some people find the help they need in 6-8 sessions, while others find it helpful to have an ongoing level of support. Talk to your therapist about your goals for therapy and they can help you determine what may be a good fit.
Do I have to be in Georgia to work with a therapist at Fava Counseling?
Yes, because all of our therapists are licensed by the state, you must be in Georgia in order to be seen for an appointment at Fava Counseling.
