Great Expectations provides online therapy to clients all over North Carolina...
UGH!!!
You finally found the therapist you were looking for, but they're 50 miles away! Great...
Now you have to start your search all over again.
Or do you?
What?! You mean there's hope??
Thanks to the wonders of technology, you can connect to your therapist from the comfort of your computer or phone.
But what if I'm not tech savvy?
Not to worry friend. We use Psychology Today as our platform, and it's straightforward. Just give me your email address and we'll do everything else.
At the beginning of the day of your first appointment, Darleen will send you an invitation to your email to join the secure site at your appointment time. This will serve as both your reminder of your time and as your secure link. When you click the link you'll be ushered into a virtual waiting room. When it's time for your session, I'll invite you in.
It's as easy as that!
Online Therapy
But is online therapy effective?
Absolutely! It is so well received that over half of my clients decide to do it rather than meet in person.
They can do their therapy, coffee in hand, without ever leaving the comforts of home. Plus, they save on time, gas, and wear on their vehicles.
Best of all, they get a quality therapy session from a therapist of their choice, no matter where they live in North Carolina.
How I Use CBT
Focuses on the present:
CBT primarily focuses on the challenges you are facing today and how they are affecting your day-to-day life. Understanding your personal history can be important, but the emphasis is on moving forward and developing healthier, more effective ways of coping with life.
