Teletherapy — also referred to as online therapy or virtual therapy — is the delivery of professional mental health services through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. It offers individuals, couples, and families access to licensed therapists from the comfort and privacy of their own space, removing many of the practical barriers that have historically made consistent therapy difficult to maintain.
At TrueMe® Counseling, teletherapy is not a lesser version of in-person care — it is a fully clinical, deeply personal experience delivered through a different medium. Our therapists bring the same training, the same evidence-based approaches, and the same commitment to individualized care to every virtual session as they do to sessions in our Culver City, Simi Valley, and Westlake Village offices. Research consistently supports the effectiveness of teletherapy for treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other mental health concerns, with outcomes comparable to traditional face-to-face therapy for most clients.
Teletherapy is available to residents throughout California, making it an ideal option for clients who live far from our physical offices, travel frequently, have demanding schedules, or simply find that the privacy and convenience of a home-based session allows them to show up more openly and consistently. All that is required is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and the willingness to do the work.
