Foundations Telehealth – We meet you where you are.
What is Telehealth Therapy?
Virtual therapy represents a significant advancement in the field of mental health care. By breaking down barriers to access and offering a flexible, convenient, and comprehensive approach to therapy, telehealth is revolutionizing how we approach mental wellness. Whether you are seeking help for the first time or continuing your therapeutic journey, telehealth therapy provides an effective and accessible option for mental health support.
Telehealth therapy is not limited to one-on-one sessions. It can include couple/partner counseling, family counseling, and soon groups, all accessible online. This variety ensures that individuals can find the type of support that best suits their needs.
Accessibility and Convenience
Telehealth therapy eliminates geographical barriers, allowing individuals in remote or underserved areas to access high-quality mental health services. This convenience extends to those with mobility issues, busy schedules, or transportation difficulties, ensuring that therapy is available to those who might otherwise find it challenging to attend in-person sessions.
Flexibility and Comfort
Sessions can be scheduled outside of traditional office hours, providing flexibility for individuals with busy or unconventional work schedules. Additionally, being able to attend therapy from the comfort of one’s own home can create a more relaxed environment, potentially leading to more effective sessions.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Telehealth platforms are designed with robust security measures to protect patient confidentiality. Many individuals feel a greater sense of privacy when attending therapy from their own space, which can encourage more open and honest communication.
Efficacy of Telehealth Therapy
Studies have shown that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse. Research indicates that the therapeutic relationship, a critical component of effective therapy, can be successfully established and maintained online. Patients report high levels of satisfaction with telehealth therapy, citing the same level of emotional connection and support as traditional face-to-face sessions. Moreover, telehealth therapy allows therapists to incorporate a range of multimedia resources and interactive tools, which can enhance the therapeutic process and lead to better outcomes.
Foundations Counseling has an amazing team of fully remote clinicians who offer telehealth services to clients throughout the state of Texas. Check out their profiles here.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful psychotherapeutic practice initially developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980’s to treat troubling symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR is used at Foundations Counseling as an adjunct to psychotherapeutic treatment in order to aid in the resolution of many life disabling problems, emotions, and thoughts.
