WHAT IS SKYPE VIDEO COUNSELING

We have identified the need of remote counseling, and have started offering SKYPE VIDEO COUNSELING. This will allow us to offer our services to patients that are in a different city or State, have limited mobility, and/or are traveling.

Skype is a free software that allows you to have free calls, video conferencing and chat over the internet. If you have a computer, internet connection and a headset, you can start downloading the program and using it right away. You can also call a phone number from your computer using Skype for low cost.

BENEFITS OF SKYPE VIDEO COUNSELING

Saves Time: Skype counseling is a great to have face-to-face counseling when you are unable or unwilling to travel to a counseling office. You can save money rather than lose time traveling from work. Many people now enjoy the convenience of working on themselves and getting support in their own homes and offices where they feel most comfortable.

Some are Shy or Introverted: Skype Video Counseling is a great way to connect with a counselor without the barrier of social fears, or trouble meeting new people.

Remote Location or Lack of Services: You can access services if you live in a remote place where counseling services are unaccessible. We have international and national clients where there are limited services.

Comfort Level & Privacy: Services can be available if you do not feel comfortable about visiting a counselor’s office or you do not want others to know that you go see a counselor. You may also prefer to work on yourself in a place where you feel comfortable.

Unsure about Counseling: You may prefer to try out counseling before committing to more counseling.

We treat Skype video conference sessions the same way we do face-to-face sessions. We strive to create a safe space in which we explore concerns together

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER WHILE IN SESSION USING SKYPE


  • Be in a private space, free of distractions and other people’s presence.

  • Once you agree to the terms and conditions of Skype Video Counseling. Your therapist will give you our username, please add to your skype contact list.

  • If at all possible, use a headset with microphone.

  • Have paper and pencil available

  • Turn off your cell phone and if possible put your house phone in silence.

  • You might notice that your counselor looks down, and is because he/she needs to take notes.

  • Notify everyone in your household or post a note on the door that you are busy for the next 45-50 minutes and wish not to be disturbed.

It is very important to be on time for your session. Your counselor will call once at the time of the appointment and once 10 minutes later. If you miss both calls the session will be considered a no-show and the appropriate fees will apply.

IMPORTANT:

Skype video counseling is not appropriate for people who are suicidal, self-injuring, homicidal, or who have mental health issues that require more intense care. If you feel suicidal, or think you are going to hurt yourself or someone else, call 911, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
