JForbes Counseling provides individual counseling for adults via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth. Telehealth allows access to professional mental health care from the privacy and convenience of your own location, without the need to travel to an office.
All services are provided by a licensed professional counselor and are designed to meet the same clinical standards as in-person counseling.
Telehealth counseling takes place through a secure video platform that allows us to meet in real time. Sessions are private, confidential, and structured similarly to traditional in-office counseling appointments.
Telehealth may be a good fit if you prefer the convenience of remote sessions, live in an area with limited access to local providers, or have scheduling or travel constraints.
To participate in telehealth counseling, you will need a reliable internet connection, a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone, and a private, quiet space where you will not be interrupted.
Detailed instructions are provided prior to your first appointment.
Telehealth services are provided only to clients who are physically located in a state where the therapist is licensed at the time of the session. Clients must be able to confirm their physical location at each appointment.
A list of licensed states is available on the States Served page.
