Understanding Telehealth Counseling:
Telehealth Counseling is a counseling approach that takes some of the practices of traditional counseling as well as some of its own unique methods and adapts them for delivery to clients via electronic means in order to maximize the use of technology-assisted counseling techniques.
The technology-assisted methods may include tele counseling (telephone), secure e-mail communication, chat, videoconferencing or stand-alone software programs.
The Telehealth Counseling option may be more convenient for clients. While tele-counseling takes place in real time and depends on scheduling an appointment, traveling and related formalities do not present obstacles, thus providing more flexibility. On the other hand, tele-counseling and various forms of email or synchronous chat techniques demand special counseling and communication skills from the counselor, and in certain ways, from the client as well. In its own way, Telehealth Counseling may also present its own special advantages beyond the replication of best practices from face-to-face counseling. For example, some clients prefer the anonymity of a Telehealth Counseling relationship and are more free to open up and self-disclose than they would be in a traditional counseling setting. There are also some studies that suggest that the power of the written word in Telehealth Counseling provides a profound impact on both the counselor and the client.
