Phone Counseling sessions are sometimes but not usually covered by your insurance and out of pocket expenses cost 140.00 for the first session which is your assessment session. After the initial session, costs are $120.00 for a 55–60-minute session. At this time, I am not doing in office sessions, only telehealth.          

Many clients choose to pay out of pocket for counseling sessions for privacy reasons and because options are available for more or longer sessions then insurance companies may cover. For instance, if your schedule is hard to change and you are only available twice a month for therapy, it is possible to complete two 55–60-minute sessions back-to-back on the phone as needed.

 

Telephone sessions are available for working on a wide variety of problems such as relationship, family or work-related issues, and to learn coping skills for reducing stress, anxiety or depression and for goal setting as well. Phone Counseling is a convenient way of fitting a session into a busy schedule during the day, evening or weekend which allows the client to have a session during a lunch hour at work or after work without having to take time off of work to come into the office. Phone counseling is appropriate for clients who feel more relaxed or comfortable talking over the phone and also for clients who are limited in mobility due to access to or cost of transportation, being located in a rural area or if the client is in medical pain or has some type of physical condition that may cause limitations in mobility. Phone counseling is available for a wide variety of issues. However, severe problems such as suicide ideation and or a severely high level of depression are not appropriate for working through over the telephone and a face-to-face therapy session is appropriate instead.
