Online Counseling in Salt Lake City, UT

Your life is hectic, and therapy can be intimidating.

In today’s “go-go-go” society, it’s difficult enough for you to find time for breakfast, let alone drive to and from an hour-long session with a professional therapist.

Besides, while you can tell things are going downhill personally, it can be terrifying to think of opening up to a stranger.

You don’t want everyone knowing things aren’t entirely smooth sailing

Therapy helps your life run smoother.

Now more than ever, your mental and emotional health are key to helping you complete those million and one to-dos.

Heaven forbid you even let yourself think about being happy.

At Beacon Therapy of Utah, we offer online counseling services as an alternative to traditional in-office adult and adolescent counseling to help meet the needs of our clients.

Pros and Cons of Telehealth

Virtual counseling offers a convenient option for getting necessary mental health services while balancing all your other responsibilities.

Virtual counseling allows you the flexibility to attend sessions from the comfort and security of your own home. It eliminates the precious time spent driving, letting you spend that time where it matters most to you.

Telehealth can’t replace the whole experience of being present with a counselor who can notice your body language and physical responses, providing potential insight into an issue that words alone might miss.

There are some additional pieces to consider with telehealth.

When having a session at home, the client needs to take extra care to make sure they are in a confidential environment. It’s essential that clients feel comfortable voicing current stressors and problems, even if it may include those they are currently experiencing.

Additionally, telehealth requires a reliable Internet link or data connection (at least 1 mbps) and a device with video call capabilities. We use a confidential, HIPAA-compliant program called Simple Practice for video sessions. Our clients receive a link to the video via email prior to the session.

Enhancing your mental and emotional health is our goal.

For most of the clients at Beacon Therapy of Utah, we recommend in-person sessions as the norm, but we gladly work with all our clients to ensure they are getting the services they need to be confident and secure in these difficult times.

We offer many of the same services via telehealth that you would receive in our office.

Many clients find success and happiness through our telehealth option.
