TeleMentalHealth

FSWC happily provides virtual services to those individuals, couples and families located in North Carolina and South Carolina.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is the delivery of medical and mental health services through electronic means, allowing you the ease and comfort of connecting from your home (or office, or beach house!). 

Using HIPAA secure telehealth platforms, our therapists connect with you and/or your family members to help you receive the counseling you are needing in order to attune to your mental health and relational needs. 

  • You are in the comfort of your own space! Here, you may curl up with a blanket, light a candle, or snuggle your pet.
  • You don’t have to miss sessions if you or a family member are feeling a bit sick
  • You are able to connect to a specialized therapist in your state without the commute!
  • You can continue working with your counselor if you move or go to college (as long as you are still in North Carolina)
  • You may find it easier to attend your sessions since you can connect in between work meetings, while the baby is napping, or while your older kids are watching a movie. No more relying on the babysitter or having to wait until your work day is over (as long as you have a private/secure space to retreat to for your call). 
  • You and your family members can be in different locations and still connect for couples or family therapy (as long as you are all in NC!)
  • You don’t have the privacy or security at your home or workplace to have your therapy call
  • You have poor internet connection or frequent internet disruptions during your calls
  • You have too many distractions on your computer, phone, or in your space
  • You are attending your calls while driving, in bed, or unproperly dressed (we can’t hold the session under these conditions)
  • You are experiencing severe depression, substance abuse, domestic violence, or suicidality 
  • You are a young child or teen and are not focused, engaged or receiving the interaction that can be provided in the office setting
  • You are not located in the state in which your therapist is licensed in
  • Your insurance limits which providers you can see virtually (i.e. allowing telehealth through MDlive only)

For all scheduled virtual appointments, you will receive the telehealth link in the reminder email that comes out one hour prior to your scheduled session. By selecting your therapist’s name/link, you will be brought to their secure virtual waiting room.

Please ensure that you are in a secure location void of interruptions, and log into the waiting room within the first 5 minutes of your scheduled appointment. 

As long as you are physically in the state of North Carolina* for your session, you can find any secure location to connect for your session. 

We are not allowed to provide virtual counseling while you are driving, intoxicated, or located outside of the states of North Carolina or South Carolina.

*Not all of our therapists are licensed in SC; please inquire before scheduling.
