Telehealth
Online Therapy From Anywhere in Texas
Life doesn't always make it easy to get to the office — and it shouldn't have to. Mental Health Counseling Group offers secure, confidential telehealth sessions so you can connect with a licensed therapist from your home, office, or wherever you feel most comfortable.
All of our therapists are licensed in the state of Texas and available to see clients virtually across the entire state.

### Is Online Therapy Effective?
Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for most conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship concerns. The American Psychological Association recognizes telehealth as an evidence-based mode of delivering therapy.
Many of our clients use a combination of in-person and virtual sessions depending on their week — and that flexibility is one of the things they value most.

### Your Privacy Is Protected
We use a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to ensure your sessions are private and secure. Your video sessions are encrypted and never recorded. The same confidentiality protections that apply to in-person therapy apply to every virtual session.

How Telehealth Works
Getting started with virtual therapy is simple:
1. Book your appointment - Schedule online or call any of our locations to set up a session. Let us know you'd like a virtual visit.
2. Receive your secure link - Before your session, you'll receive a link to our HIPAA-compliant video platform. No downloads or special software required.
3. Join from anywhere - At your appointment time, click the link from your phone, tablet, or computer. That's it.
Sessions are the same length, same format, and same quality as in-person — just without the commute.
What can I expect from the first session?
Your initial appointment will begin with a review of the forms you've completed, including your client agreement, confidentiality policies, and fee estimate. Your counselor will then conduct a comprehensive assessment by asking questions about various aspects of your life, including your career, relationships, personal identity, social connections, and health history.
This intake process helps your counselor understand your unique background and current concerns. Depending on the complexity of your situation, this assessment phase may extend over your first two to three sessions to ensure we have a complete picture of your needs and goals for therapy.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require 24 hours advance notice for any session cancellations or rescheduling. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged $50. This policy helps us maintain availability for all clients and ensures our therapists can effectively manage their schedules.
Do you offer virtual or in-person services?
We offer both virtual and in-person therapy sessions to accommodate your preferences and needs. Our secure telehealth platform allows you to access quality care from the comfort of your own space, while our welcoming office locations provide a traditional therapy environment. Many clients choose to combine both formats throughout their treatment journey, and we're flexible in working with you to determine what feels most comfortable and effective for your healing process.
How long are the sessions?
Our therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length, which is the standard duration for individual, couples, and family therapy. This timeframe allows for meaningful therapeutic work while providing your counselor with time between sessions to prepare and reflect on your progress. Your therapist will help you make the most of this time together, ensuring each session is focused and productive toward your wellness goals.
