How does online therapy work?

Online therapy is designed to be simple, secure, and convenient. At Clarity Counseling Seattle, we use SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform created specifically for healthcare providers and therapists.

Before your appointment, you'll receive email reminders that include a secure link to join your session. At the time of your appointment, simply click the link and you'll be connected with your therapist through your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. No special software or technical expertise is required.

All you need is a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you feel comfortable talking openly. Many clients attend sessions from their home office, living room, bedroom, parked car, or another quiet location that allows for privacy and minimal distractions.

Online Therapy Throughout Washington State

Because our therapists are licensed in Washington, we can provide online therapy to clients located anywhere in the state at the time of their appointment. This makes specialized therapy more accessible for people who live outside the Seattle area, have demanding schedules, travel frequently, or simply prefer the convenience of meeting virtually.

Whether you're seeking individual counseling, couples therapy, sex and intimacy therapy, or support during a difficult life transition, the therapy process itself remains largely the same. The primary difference is simply that you and your therapist meet through a secure video connection rather than in the same physical office.

If you're wondering whether teletherapy would be a good fit for your needs, our intake coordinator can answer questions and help you get started.
