Tele-therapy Counseling at Dayspring
Dayspring has had a surge in clients using Tele-therapy since 2019. Now Tele-therapy is a widely adopted and efficacious alternative to in-person therapy. Its diverse range of accessibility empowers clients to assume greater control over their mental well-being. With over 2 decades of service to Alabama you can be sure of the help you will receive from Dayspring Center for Christian Counseling.
One of the primary advantages of Tele-therapy is its flexibility. Clients with a phone or internet connection can access services at any time and location, thereby eliminating geographical and other impediments to mental health care. Digital technology facilitates safe and familiar environments for clients to receive treatment. Furthermore, extensive research has demonstrated that teletherapy can be equally effective as in-person methods for mild to moderate mental health conditions.
Tele-therapy enables remote communication with your Dayspring counselor through video sessions, phone calls, and messaging. Secure online platforms and user-friendly devices like computers, tablets, and smartphones facilitate this accessibility.
Videoconferencing, utilizing live video technology, enables virtual therapy. Dayspring can leverage readily available apps like Zoom Health, Doxy.me, or our Dayspring Electronic Health Record (EHR) CarePaths Portal for specialized HIPAA-compliant security and confidentiality.
Telephone consultations provide a convenient and reliable technology for tele-therapy sessions. This is particularly effective for individuals who lack an internet connection or are not familiar with video technology.
Online chat, or text therapy, facilitates communication between you and your Dayspring counselor via written messages through mobile applications. This method is particularly advantageous for those with demanding schedules, a poor connection to the internet, or phone line. As an effective treatment modality for anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder, online chat can also mitigate some of the anxiety clients may experience during in-person therapy.
Tele-therapy appointments are easy to make at Dayspring. Sessions with a counselor at Dayspring requires up to 2 additional forms to be completed. If your health insurance has a copayment or you are using private pay the office will need a Credit Card Charge Approval form completed. The office staff will use this to take your payment. Dayspring also requires a signed consent to use Tele-therapy for treatment.
You may be curious about what to expect from Dayspring Center for Christian Counseling. Established in February 2002, we are a community mental health provider that originated as a nonprofit group of local counselors. Our mission has remained consistent throughout our journey.
Unlike some well-known online counseling companies that adopt an “industrialized” approach, Dayspring continues to be a local organization that prioritizes the well-being of our clients over profit. While our reach has expanded from Marshall County to encompass the entire state of Alabama, we remain committed to providing affordable, personalized counseling services that evoke a sense of familiarity and community.
