Online therapy, also known as teletherapy or virtual therapy, is a way to access professional mental health support from the comfort of your own space using a secure video platform. It offers the same evidence-based care as in-person sessions, with the added convenience of attending therapy wherever you are. Whether you’re managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, or simply looking for emotional support, online therapy makes it easier to prioritize your mental well-being.

  • More flexible scheduling: Fits more easily into busy lives
  • Comfort of your own space: Attend therapy where you feel most at ease
  • No commute required: Save time and eliminate transportation barriers
  • Family-friendly: Easier to manage with child care or mobility concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of online therapy at Marsh Psychotherapy depends on the type of service and your insurance coverage. For out-of-network clients, we’ll confirm your rate up front and can provide a superbill for reimbursement upon request. Session rates are $160 for individual therapy and $225–$250 for couples and family therapy.

Yes, Marsh Psychotherapy is in-network with many insurance providers. If you are unsure whether your online therapy sessions are covered, please contact us. We’re happy to verify your benefits directly with your provider and let you know exactly what’s covered.

For many people, online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy. Virtual sessions offer the same supportive therapeutic relationship while providing added flexibility and convenience. Some clients even find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own space.

Choosing the right online therapist starts with finding someone who has experience with your concerns and makes you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. It can also help to consider factors like therapeutic approach, identity-affirming care, scheduling availability, and whether you prefer a more structured or conversational style.

Your first online therapy session is an opportunity to get to know your therapist, discuss what brings you to therapy, and talk about your goals, concerns, and background. You’ll also have space to ask questions and get comfortable with the virtual format. There is no pressure to share everything at once.

Yes, online therapy can work very well for couples. Virtual couples therapy offers a convenient way for partners to attend sessions together, even with busy schedules or different locations. Online sessions can help couples improve communication, navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship.

In many cases, yes, but it depends on where you are located during the session. Therapists are licensed by state, which means clients generally need to be physically located in a state where their therapist is licensed at the time of the appointment. If you plan to travel, let your therapist know ahead of time so you can discuss options.
