Telemedicine is the process of providing mental health care through digital software via a computer or phone. This is conducted through live video conferencing with the therapist. This format can be more accessible and convenient for many clients. It can be conducted in the comfort of your own home, or in a location of your choosing. Although the therapist is bound by the same limits of confidentiality, maintaining privacy should be a joint effort: You should ensure that you are in a safe and private location before every session.
