Telehealth is an innovative form of care that provides convenient and secure access to mental health services from any location. This type of telehealth treatment is becoming increasingly popular as more people are able to take advantage of the convenience it offers. Telehealth mental health care eliminates the need for face-to-face contact with a therapist, allowing patients to receive quality care without having to leave their homes or offices.

What Does a Telehealth Appointment Look Like?
Depending on the type of telehealth services you’re using, the appointment may look a bit different. Mental health telehealth sessions are often conducted via video conferencing. The provider will guide you through the necessary steps to establish an account and access your session.
During telehealth appointments, mental health providers use the same tools they would in people such as questionnaires and psychoeducation materials. These can be completed online during or prior to the appointment depending on what works best for you. You’ll then talk with your provider about any current changes in symptoms or concerns that have come up since your last meeting. Depending on what’s discussed, you might be given additional resources or recommendations for lifestyle changes that could improve your overall wellbeing
How Much Does Telehealth Treatment Cost?
Telehealth mental health treatment can be just as affordable as in-person care, and in most cases, it is less expensive. Depending on your insurance provider, telehealth visits might be covered under their plan. You may also have to pay a copay for telehealth appointments, which would usually be the same amount you’d pay for an in-person visit.
How COVID-19 Changed Mental Health Treatment
When the COVID-19 pandemic began it was evident that the way our healthcare system was operated needed to be altered. People needed to be able to receive treatment without physical contact and the risk of infection. Medicaid expanded its coverage to include telehealth treatment and many insurance providers and employers began expanding their coverage to include telehealth.
On top of the expansion of coverage, COVID-19 also took its toll on the nation’s mental health as it was reported in April 2020, 3 out of 10 adults reported symptoms related to anxiety and depression. Telehealth has played an important role in providing people with a resource for much-needed mental health services at a very crucial time. Since then, telehealth options have continued to expand with many people preferring telehealth mental health treatment.
