Teletherapy in Hershey

Teletherapy Offers Compassionate Support Wherever You Are

Have you been worn thin by the demands of your daily responsibilities, grueling schedule, and countless obligations, making it difficult to find time for self-care?

Do challenges with transportation or the idea of going out of your way to therapy sessions feel overwhelming to implement into your lifestyle?

If you could talk to a licensed therapist from the comfort of your own home, would you finally give yourself permission to get the support that you need?

You may have heard of all the ways that counseling can benefit your overall well-being but can’t find the time to fit traditional office visits into your already busy schedule. Or maybe you get anxious anytime you try something new in an unfamiliar setting, and the thought of stepping into a counseling office for the first time just adds to the stress that you’re already feeling.

Traditional Therapy Isn’t Always Practical Or Accessible For Everyone

In the state of Pennsylvania, many of us live in rural communities where quality mental health care isn’t always accessible without an extended commute. Therefore, you may find yourself struggling to find time in your schedule, reliable transportation, or a therapist who serves in your area.

Luckily, teletherapy helps remove all these barriers that hold you back from receiving the treatment that you deserve. At Tice Counseling & Wellness, we offer online therapy services that make it easy to access professional support from wherever you are—all while maintaining the utmost level of care, connection, and clinical effectiveness.

Teletherapy Is Just As Effective As Receiving In-Person Care

According to a study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) Mental Health, the emotional bond and trust built between clients and therapists during online sessions are nearly identical to those formed during in-person treatment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, teletherapy has become a more common, widely accepted, and trusted form of treatment among both clients and mental health professionals.

At Tice Counseling & Wellness, we approach virtual therapy sessions with the same level of warmth and clinical care that we bring to our in-person services. We believe in creating an opportunity for you to embrace the comfort of your safe space so that you can truly focus on your healing journey, without any distractions.

Schedule an Appointment

Therapy From The Comfort Of Your Own Space

We make the process of beginning virtual counseling easy. First, you will receive paperwork electronically to complete before your initial appointment. Once your session is scheduled, you will receive an automatic appointment reminder 48 hours before your scheduled session in addition to another reminder shortly before it begins.

There are a few essentials needed in order for teletherapy to be a productive, worthwhile experience, including:

A computer, tablet, or smartphone
A webcam or built-in camera
A stable Wi-Fi connection
A comfortable, safe, and private space

Sessions are conducted via a fully HIPAA-compliant, streamlined platform. Each reminder text and email will include a secure link that takes you directly to your virtual waiting room. Once you’re comfortable in your space, and the scheduled appointment time begins, your therapist will begin the appointment and you can work together to create a personalized plan for achieving your goals and growing into the person that you want to be.

How Teletherapy Can Help You Thrive

Our practice aims to support you by literally meeting you where you are. Our counselors will look to build a nurturing therapeutic relationship with you thanks to a wide range of specialties at our disposal. So, no matter the challenges you face, you can rest assured that your experience in therapy will be deeply personal, validating, and as special as your own unique story.

The Many Challenges That Online Therapy Services Can Address

Our counselors at Tice Counseling & Wellness form a well-versed team that offers a wide range of online therapy services, including:

Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma Therapy
Couples, Marriage, and Family Counseling
Child, Adolescent, and Teen Therapy
Life Transition Support
Grief and Loss Counseling

Virtual services are not limited to traditional talk therapy alone. Our secure telehealth platform allows our therapists to utilize many of the same evidence-based approaches used in the office setting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you identify unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to your anxiety, depression, or stress. Through teletherapy, you will learn practical tools to reframe negative thinking so that you can develop healthier coping strategies.

Mindfulness-Based Practices will help you identify your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations so that you can gain insight and cultivate emotional balance. These techniques can be particularly helpful for reducing anxiety, managing stress, and gaining a stronger sense of presence in your daily life.

Trauma-Informed Care is one of the pillars of our practice, exploring the profound impact that trauma has on emotional wellbeing, relationships, and peace of mind. Through a trauma-informed approach, we offer the support you need so that healing can feel manageable and empowering.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be seamlessly adapted for telehealth and is often used to guide you through processing traumatic experiences, distressing memories, and other emotional challenges.

No matter what, our therapists at Tice Counseling & Wellness go above and beyond to provide you with the comfort and care that you need in the places where you feel safest. In teletherapy, our work is solution-focused, offering practical tools and clear goals so that you can develop strategies to build on your strengths—helping you grow in life and move forward with confidence.

Common Concerns About Teletherapy…

What happens if my internet goes out during a session?

We understand and take into account that issues with technology can occur at any given moment. But we can assure you that we won’t let it ruin your experience.

If your internet drops or the video feed freezes, we will immediately try to reconnect with you through the platform. If the fix isn’t as quick as you would hope, we can finish your session seamlessly over the phone so that you don’t lose any valuable time.

Is my personal information secure and protected online?

Privacy is our top priority, both in-person and online. That is why the platform that we use is specifically designed for healthcare—a fully encrypted, HIPAA-compliant system that ensures your video and audio streams remain completely private in the digital space. We also never record sessions, and your personal data will be stored on secure, medical-grade servers that meet strict federal privacy standards.

Will my insurance cover online therapy services?

While insurance policies differ, most providers fully support online counseling services. In fact, some plans have expanded telehealth benefits to increase access to mental health care and may even reduce or waive certain costs. Our team will be happy to help you understand the benefits that are available to you so that you can appropriately weigh your options before getting started with therapy.
