Online Counseling | Convenient Colorado Counseling
Searching for a counselor means you’ve taken the first step toward healing yourself. So, take a moment and acknowledge this tremendous accomplishment. But, on the other hand, finding a therapist can make you feel isolated, embarrassed, scared, and even set you into negative thinking patterns that brought you here in the first place. So, if you have hesitations about starting your therapy journey, don’t worry; this is entirely normal.
Many individuals feel more comfortable being in their own space and subconsciously close themselves off when they go to a traditional counseling session. Convenient Colorado Counseling provides online counseling services so you can attend therapy sessions without leaving your safe space. I am here to help you better understand your emotions, thoughts, actions, and behaviors and create positive coping strategies to help you live a fulfilling life. In addition, whether you believe it or not right now, you have a purpose in life, and I want to help you feel empowered and fulfill that purpose.
What Is Online Counseling?
Online counseling allows you to work with a mental health professional virtually. You can speak with a professional and address any issues you want to work through without having to leave the safety and comfort of your own home.
Online therapy services allow you to speak with someone any time, even if you’re dealing with a bout of depression and barely feel like rolling out of bed. In addition, we can schedule video sessions during a time that works with your schedule, making online counseling services as accessible as possible.
Benefits Of Online Counseling
Accessibility
Many people find it challenging to overcome physical barriers to attend in-person therapy. For example, maybe you live far away from your counselor or have injured yourself and cannot drive. Perhaps you’re just having a really tough time getting up in the morning, and the last thing you feel like doing is leaving your house. Whatever the reason, help is just a click away with online counseling.
Time
It can be challenging to prioritize your mental health and find time to schedule counseling sessions. You have to consider the time of the session itself and take into account the time it will take to drive to your session and back. With online counseling, you can squeeze a session into any part of your busy schedule without feeling like you’re interrupting your entire day.
Privacy
Unfortunately, there’s a stigma around therapy, and because of this, people get worried that they’ll bump into someone they know at their counselor’s office or feel like everyone’s going to be staring at them. You'll automatically feel more comfortable by remaining in your safe place during an online video chat. You won’t have to become anxious over the what ifs of attending an in-person session.
Cost
The reality is that some people can’t go to traditional therapy simply because they can’t afford to. Online counseling is an excellent alternative if you’re looking for a more affordable therapy option. Because you have more flexibility with the length of sessions and you’re usually not paying any administrative fees, it tends to be much cheaper than traditional therapy services.
Online Therapy For Suicide Prevention
At Convenient Colorado Counseling, most of the people I work with experience suicidal ideations or engage in self-harm. When dealing with these types of thoughts or behaviors, often, it can feel like you’re simply going through the motions and have little control over your life. With our live chats, I can provide you with resources to help you better understand and manage your harmful behaviors and help you heal from any trauma you’re carrying with you.
