What is Online Therapy?

Marriage Help Colorado currently offers secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy utilizing live video meetings – not phone sessions. Online therapy is safe and secure, easy to use and you’ll love the convenience of doing therapy from wherever you are.

We use doxy.me, an online platform used by physicians, psychiatrists, online therapists, and online psychologists around the globe. There is no user id or password to keep track of, and we use the same secure link for each session. 

People find the same comfort and ease in talking online that they do in the office. Marriage Help Colorado currently provides secure online therapy for marriage counseling, sex therapy, infidelity counseling, and family therapy for anxiety.

Thousands of studies have proved that online therapy is as effective as in-office therapy. 

We have a staff of highly trained Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists with a combined 40+ years of experience!

Some people find that traditional therapy has limitations. We specialize in Bowen Family Systems Theory which takes into consideration your family system and your relationships with others. We understand that your relationships play a significant role in your life and we work with you to identify patterns within these relationships that aren’t working for you.

We work to find more effective patterns and you can grow individually and within these relationships.

Because we take into consideration everyone in your family system, this also helps us create a unique approach to your online therapy, tailoring the sessions to your unique situation. 

Benefits of Online Therapy

Many people love online therapy because it gives you greater access to the type of therapy you need and it’s convenient. 

Many people love online therapy because it’s:

• Convenient

Most people love the convenience of doing therapy from wherever they are. As long as you have a secure internet connection and can log into our HIPAA-compliant platform, you’re able to participate in therapy. 

• Accessible 

As long as you have access to an internet connection and a computer, you have access to online therapy. What’s great about online therapy is that it gives you access to more therapists and therapy styles. Traditional, in-office therapy limits you to who is in your city or town. If you like our Bowen Family Systems approach to therapy, we can work with you via our online platform!

• Flexible for your schedule

Most people feel that the flexibility of online therapy allows them to attend more appointments and find appointments that fit within their schedules. If you work with us at Marriage Help Colorado, we’ll ask you when sessions are convenient for you and try our best to work within your schedule. With no commute to an office,  it’s simple, flexible, and easy to keep up with appointments.

• Private

In the next section, we talk about how you can secure privacy for online therapy. Most people find they like the privacy of being able to do therapy at home. No going in and out of the office. No sitting in waiting rooms. Nobody has to know you’re in therapy.

What About Privacy When Others Are Home?

For years we’ve worked with couples and families using online therapy and we understand you might have privacy concerns.

 Here is how some of our couples find the privacy to do online therapy sessions:

• Use music to provide a sound buffer, either outside the door or over air vents
• Use headphones during sessions
• Make an attic or basement room comfortable for your private sessions
• Participate in sessions in your car
• Keep children occupied with a special treat or TV show/movie

Online Therapy Might Be Good For You If…..

• You’re busy and need to save time
• You want our unique approach and you live far away from us
• You and your spouse can’t find the time to sit down and talk – let alone drive to and from counseling sessions
• You have social phobia, depression, or a panic disorder
• You’re a therapist, celebrity, or a public official who wants to do their own personal work but you want greater confidentiality

What To Consider When Doing Online Therapy

We provide you with a link to our secure, online platform that you’ll use every time you have a session. When you start online therapy, part of the responsibility for confidentiality is on you. 

You’ll need to be sure…

• Your computer is secure 
• You can meet in a private room in your home where no one will be eavesdropping or walking into your sessions uninvited. 

Some people may have technical difficulties but usually, these issues are cleared up in the first session.

How Does Online Therapy Work?

We schedule your sessions just like we would an in-office session. The only difference is when the time comes, we will meet online using doxy.me, an easy-to-use, HIPAA-compliant website dedicated to your confidentiality. 

All sessions are secure and private.

After we’ve scheduled your session, we’ll email the link to fill out the initial paperwork as well as the link for our sessions.
