During 17 years of providing therapy to clients, I have offered phone and video sessions for over 6 years to caseloads in both California and Texas. This can afford choices for exploring therapeutic work/goals depending on your needs and circumstances.
I feel that it is most important that your therapeutic work be as secure as possible. I have tried many platforms and settled on a HIPPA compliant platform (Simple Practice) that also provides an easy connection.
I have also worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) driving an ambulance in San Francisco, CA starting a position at American Medical Response just before the twin towers fell on 911. This time in medical healthcare informs my work during these current days, weeks and potentially many months of social distancing and health concerns.
We could not have anticipated having a pandemic enter our lives and this has changed many aspects of our normal days for most of us. Information about coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to evolve/change and the list of symptoms for COVID-19 may seem to endlessly grow. For now, to keep us all healthy, phone and video sessions are good vehicles for therapy.
I am hopeful that the future will provide ways to again do therapy in person.
