So you’ve decided to give online therapy a try - awesome! Now what?

While it might not feel strange to check your bank account online or FaceTime with a friend, the idea of video counseling can challenge our ideas of what feels comfortable to do online.

Never fear: With video counseling, you can still have the couch (and the questions about your mom), but it just might be your couch instead of a stranger’s.
