Could You Benefit From Online Therapy Services?

• Are you in search of convenient, confidential mental health support?
• Do you and your partner want to go to couples counseling but can’t seem to coordinate your schedules? 
• Or are you an individual seeking therapy and group support from the convenience of your home?

You and your other half may experience difficulty communicating your needs. Stuck in a pattern of conflict, you may feel as though you talk in circles or consistently misunderstand one another. As a result, resentment builds, and you don’t know how to reconnect or problem-solve together. 

Due to busy schedules and your demanding lifestyles, however, it may be difficult for the two of you to find time to talk through conflict. Maybe you have kids or significant work responsibilities that take up your time and energy. Without much flexibility, neither you nor your partner have space in your schedule to commit to therapy. 

Even if you’ve considered therapy in the past, you may be skeptical that online marriage counseling will be effective. Unsure of if a therapist will be able to get through to you virtually or pick up on interpersonal cues, you may not trust that teletherapy is the best option for counseling. 

At The Relationship Suite, you can trust that our online therapy services are a convenient and accessible way to work with a trained clinician who can help you improve communication and find deeper connection and fulfillment in your partnership.

Our Online Counseling Services Are Not Just For Couples

Though our team is made up of counselors who specialize in working with couples, we also offer individual counseling and support groups for people looking for therapy that is accessible online. If you struggle with anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), setbacks in your relationships, or other mental health concerns, you can talk to one of our telehealth therapists to receive effective, personalized treatment online. 

In addition to individual online counseling, we offer virtual support groups. Whether you have difficulty managing your anger, are recently divorced/single, or are looking to build communication skills with your partner in a group setting, we offer virtual support groups that will help you quickly develop coping mechanisms and find community along the way. 

How Is Online Therapy Different From In-Person Counseling?

Given that therapy is a highly personal and often vulnerable process, it makes sense that there remains skepticism about whether or not online counseling is effective. After all, therapists are trained to have face-to-face conversations and observe subtle cues to enhance our self-awareness. 

However, teletherapy has been around since the 1950s—long before the internet and “e therapy” even existed. While independent psychologists and the VA have embraced tele-psychiatry since its inception, insurance and managed care companies have recently recognized the need for widely accessible care. By implementing online counseling into their benefit plans, insurance companies are acknowledging that therapy should be available to everyone regardless of their scheduling constraints or commuting limitations. 

In the age of the internet—especially since COVID—researchers have been studying if counseling can be as successful online as it is in person. The most important element of therapy is the connection you have with your therapist. A strong connection will translate via an online platform as your therapist helps you to address issues within your relationship and build empathy for one another. 

Moreover, the data supports that telehealth has comparable outcomes to in-person therapy services, and it’s especially beneficial to communities that are isolated, immobile, or unable to be physically present in sessions.

Teletherapy Is Particularly Convenient For New Yorkers

Though New York City is by no means an isolated environment, it’s nevertheless a sprawling metropolis where every waking minute is accounted for, and commutes can often be long.  

That’s why at The Relationship Suite, we offer online therapy sessions to all of the major boroughs, as well as cities around New Jersey and New York State. You can find out more about the communities we serve below.

Online Therapy At The Relationship Suite Is A Safe And Accessible Way To Receive Support

Our skilled clinicians in New York and New Jersey specialize in working with both couples and individuals navigating difficult situations. Online therapy at The Relationship Suite does not look all that different from our in-person sessions, as your clinician guides you in developing your coping skills, improving communication, and fostering a deeper awareness of yourself and your relationships. 

We offer a free, 20-minute consultation to clients who may be interested in our online therapy services. During this conversation, you can find out more about your options and determine whether you’d benefit from individual teletherapy, online marriage and couples counseling, or our virtual support groups. 

You can learn about our support groups by reading more about our options for Anger Management, Divorce Recovery, Singles Groups and Couples Communication Skills Building.

The Therapeutic Process For Online Counseling

Once you get through the initial intake and get familiarized with your clinician, online therapy sessions are delivered via our safe, secure video platforms. Just like in-person counseling, online therapy is regulated by HIPAA law, so you can feel confident that what’s said during your sessions will remain private and confidential.  

We find that our clients adjust to this process rather quickly. And because our therapists are used to online platforms, they are able to efficiently troubleshoot technical issues, ensuring that you feel secure and confident in the process. 

Because teletherapy can be done anywhere and at any time, it’s one of the most convenient ways to receive mental health support. Online counseling also allows for greater punctuality, which means you can make the most of the time you have in session. Not to mention, a telehealth option removes the time and expense associated with traveling to a therapist’s office. 

You deserve to heal and restore your connection with your loved ones, your environment, and yourself. With online therapy at The Relationship Suite, you can receive effective, quality support from the comfort of your home.
