Teletherapy Services at Alpha Behavioral Health
What Is Teletherapy?
Teletherapy is a form of mental health counseling conducted remotely through videoconferencing or telephone calls. At Alpha Behavioral Health, we utilize this approach to therapy because it allows individuals to receive therapy services from licensed mental health counselors from the comfort of their own homes or any location of their choosing.
Why Is Teletherapy Becoming So Popular?
Teletherapy has become increasingly popular due to its convenience, accessibility, and effectiveness in providing support to those in need via Internet access.
What Is Teletherapy Best Used For?
Teletherapy is best used for a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and addiction.
Benefits of Using Teletherapy
At Alpha Behavioral Health, our teletherapy services are an effort to ensure each individual has the option to receive the most appropriate care possible. While some individuals may prefer in-person sessions, teletherapy has just as many benefits, including:
Remote Access
By conducting therapy sessions online, our clients can eliminate the need to commute to a physical location, saving them time and energy. This benefits individuals who have busy schedules or live in remote areas without easy access to therapy services.
More Flexibility
Teletherapy provides a greater level of flexibility for both therapists and clients. Appointments can be scheduled at more convenient times and can often be adapted to individual needs.
Participate in Therapy From the Comfort of Home
Individuals can access professional help from the comfort of their own homes, which can provide a feeling of safety and security.
Efficiency and Productivity
One key advantage of our teletherapy service is the increased efficiency and productivity it offers during therapy sessions. This increased access to therapy has been shown to improve engagement and promote better outcomes, as clients are more likely to prioritize their mental health when therapy is readily available to them.
Teletherapy enables our therapists to access various tools and resources at their fingertips, enhancing the quality of their sessions. They can quickly share worksheets, videos, and other materials with individuals, making the sessions more interactive and effective.
Additionally, teletherapy eliminates the disruptions that can occur in a traditional therapy setting, such as traffic delays, parking issues, or unexpected interruptions. This seamless and uninterrupted flow of sessions enables our therapists to focus solely on the individual, leading to more effective and productive therapy sessions.
Improved Outcomes
This increased access to therapy has been shown to improve engagement and promote better outcomes, as individuals are more likely to prioritize their mental health when therapy is readily available to them.
We also believe that teletherapy helps reduce the stigma associated with seeking mental health support, as individuals may feel more at ease seeking help in a private setting rather than in a traditional office environment.
Provides Privacy in a Safe Space
At Alpha Behavioral Health, we value each individual’s privacy and safety. We are HIPPA compliant to ensure that each individual is protected and that anything discussed is confidential.
What Can Teletherapy Help Clients With?
Our therapists are able to offer the same education and skill sets that they do in in-person sessions. These skill sets include:
- Providing tools and coping skills to manage mental health disorders
- Helping individuals develop tools and coping skills to manage substance addiction
- Working with families and couples
- Coping with trauma and PTSD

Our therapists exclusively work with young adults, so they know how to keep clients engaged and utilize teletherapy effectively so that clients experience the benefits.
What Clients Will Gain In Our Teletherapy Sessions
In our teletherapy sessions, clients can expect to gain a personalized and convenient approach to mental health support, including:
- Flexibility and convenience to eliminate barriers to seeking therapy.
- Being in a comfortable and familiar setting, such as their own home.
- Communication and connection between clients and therapists through video calls, chat messages, and online exercises. This interactive environment encourages active participation and engagement in the therapy process, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the sessions.
- A space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges, ultimately empowering them to work towards positive change and personal growth in a convenient and accessible manner.
Support for Families
All programs include support for family members. We offer virtual support groups that parents can log in to and receive support from other parents walking a similar path. Therapists utilize teletherapy for family counseling, which keeps parents active and engaged in their loved one’s treatment without dramatically interfering with life.
