Part 3: A Guide to Finding an Online Therapist in NYC

FAQs about online counseling, therapy, and psychotherapy in #NYC

In the fast-paced and majorly stimulating life of a New Yorker, finding a peaceful place in which to explore your inner self can be a challenge. Hell, even finding a few minutes of peace tucked into a much-too-small spot on the subway ride home can feel like a miracle. So, as you try to seek out the right online therapist in NYC for you, it can be more than a little confusing as you try to understand what it is you are going to get out of the therapy practice.

You’ve undertaken the process of finding several online therapists who practice in NYC, you’ve had initial consultations with a few of them, and you may even have narrowed your list down to one or two that you could imagine working with but even with that clarity comes questions about what the process of working with an online therapist will entail. It is absolutely reasonable (and “normal” – whatever that means) to feel a bit unclear about what this work is all about, whether you’ve never had a therapist before or just don’t know how it is going to go in this latest iteration of your treatment process.

I’ve come up with a list of FAQs that I typically get from new clients before we start working together, or in the first few weeks of treatment. I have also included some of the FAQs that I try to answer for people even if they don’t specifically ask, because it is information that I think is crucial in determining whether I am going to be a good fit for them going forward.

FAQs
