Common Telehealth Questions

Many clients are surprised to learn that research shows virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person care for most concerns, especially when it’s led by a highly trained, licensed therapist.

At FTAJ, the quality of care never changes. Whether you’re in the office or on a video call, you’ll work with a board-certified therapist who has 2–5x more training than the industry standard. You can expect the same expertise, the same level of care, and the same commitment to your growth, just delivered virtually.

FTAJ offers individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy through telehealth. Most services are available virtually, with the same evidence-based methods we use in-office, including EFT, the Gottman Method, and EMDR.

If a concern is better suited for in-person care (such as safety-related issues), our clinical team will guide you to the best fit. Our goal is always to deliver the highest level of care, in the format that works best for your needs.

Your therapist will be more than just licensed, they’ll be board-certified in telemental health and hand-selected to match your specific concerns.

All full-time FTAJ therapists complete 2–5x the required training hours each year, including specialized telehealth education. Every match is made intentionally by our clinical leadership team (not an algorithm) based on your goals, preferences, and clinical needs.

“I have been meeting with [FTAJ Therapist]…using telehealth, and it has been amazing.”


I have been meeting with [FTAJ Therapist] over the last few months from home using telehealth, and it has been amazing. I have seen how much I have grown, and others have pointed out the change they have noticed in me since I began this counseling journey. Having to overcome many personal hurdles with [FTAJ Therapist] by my side has been a Godsend!

“I enjoy the telehealth component…it still feels personal while allowing me to be in the comfort of my own home.”


I have been working with [FTAJ Therapist] for a few months using telehealth, and she has been wonderful! I don’t know what I would have done without her, to be honest. She has helped me through a traumatic experience and brought me back to life. I had previously tried a few counselors in other locations and did not have positive experiences.

I would refer anyone and everyone to [FTAJ]. She is attentive, smart, and compassionate. You can absolutely tell that she enjoys what she does. I enjoy the telehealth component as well. It still feels personal while allowing me to be in the comfort of my own home.

J.F.

“Telehealth is a total game changer.”


I started seeing [FTAJ Therapist] for grief counseling and, admittedly, was a bit skeptical about telehealth therapy. I quickly got over that and love it! I have been in therapy previously, and after tough sessions, I would sit in my car until I was composed enough to drive. Now I sit in the comfort of my living room for the whole session, and when it’s a tough one can take the time to compose myself until I am ready to be back about my day. This is a total game changer for me! It would be hard to go back to in person therapy with the extra time out of my day driving and the emotional roller coaster of “getting it together” so I can drive home.
