Many of my patients live busy lives, making it difficult to devote time to their mental health. Whether it be caring for your family, working long hours, commuting great distances or going to school, virtual therapy can work for just about any busy schedule or lifestyle.
Telemedicine therapy offers a secure and convenient way to access professional mental health care from any location within your service area. It also expands access to a broader network of providers, giving clients the opportunity to connect with clinicians from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of specialties. Therapy is a personal experience, and you deserve to find a provider who meets your needs!
Please keep in mind, virtual therapy—while incredibly effective for many mental health conditions—is not an alternative to inpatient psychiatric care. View more information to learn more if this treatment option may be more appropriate for you.

At this time, Live Well Mentally is 100% virtual.
Live Well Mentally utilizes a secure health care videochat platform. This platform ensures patient confidentiality and HIPAA compliance, and conversations are never recorded. This platform is similar to Zoom or Microsoft Teams, but this nuance in technology allows for a more private patient-provider experience.
The only technology necessary for virtual care sessions is a smartphone device or computer with an operating microphone. While it is not necessary, patients are encouraged to have an operating camera to create a more personalized session. Patients may also want to consider using wired or wireless headphones for additional privacy.
Patients are also encouraged to test their equipment and internet connection prior to their first session.
Absolutely. Telemedicine therapy has proven to be just as effective as in-person sessions for many people. One of its greatest strengths is convenience. Many clients struggle to maintain consistent therapy due to time constraints; however, virtual care makes it easier to stay on track by offering flexible scheduling that fits into even the busiest lifestyles.
