Why Thousands Choose
Online Therapy

It's not a compromise - it's often a better fit for modern life.

Your Own Comfortable Space

Many clients find it easier to open up when they're at home - in their own environment, without the anxiety of a new clinical setting.

No Commute, No Scheduling Headaches

Join a session during your lunch break, before the kids wake up, or right after work. Online therapy fits around your life - not the other way around.

Total Privacy

No one sees you walking into a therapist's office. For many people - especially those concerned about stigma - telehealth removes a major barrier to starting.

Access Anywhere in NC

Whether you're in Winston Salem, a rural area, traveling for work, or across the state, your care stays consistent with the same therapist who knows your story.

Don't Miss a Session

Sick, bad weather, car trouble, or a last-minute conflict? Switch to telehealth and keep your appointment - continuity of care matters for progress.

Same Insurance Coverage

Most insurance plans, including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and Medicaid, cover telehealth therapy at the same rate as in-person sessions.

Is Online Therapy
Really As Effective?

This is the most common question - and the research answers it clearly.

Everything You Need to Know
About Online Therapy

What technology do I need for online therapy?
Just a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone - and a stable internet connection. No special software download required. We'll send you a secure link before each session that you simply click to join.
Is online therapy private and secure?
Yes. We use a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform with end-to-end encryption. Your sessions are completely private. We recommend finding a quiet, private space for your session - many clients use their bedroom, car, or a private office.
Do I have to be in North Carolina to use your telehealth services?
Yes - our therapists are licensed in North Carolina and can provide telehealth services to anyone located within the state at the time of their session. This includes all of the Triad area, Charlotte, the Triangle, Coastal NC, and anywhere else in the state.
Can I switch between in-person and online?
Absolutely. Many clients do a hybrid approach - in-person when convenient, telehealth when not. You keep the same therapist either way, maintaining continuity in your care regardless of which format you use.
Does my insurance cover online therapy?
Most major plans - including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, State Health Plan, and Medicaid - cover telehealth therapy at the same rate as in-person. We'll verify your specific coverage before your first session. Call 919-300-6717 or book online to get started.
How quickly can I get a telehealth appointment?
We currently have 25-30 openings for new clients with evening and afternoon availability. Because telehealth removes geographic constraints, we can often schedule new telehealth clients even faster than in-person. Reach out today.
