Online Christian Counseling in Florida
How do I know if Online Christian Counseling in FL is Right for me?
The convenience of online counseling appeals to you. First, you do not need to fight traffic, plus saving gas is a huge plus. Second, you can easily block out time- whether having a session during lunch break or while the kids’ nap. Lastly, you can be comfortable in your preferred environment during a session. However, you are curious if online counseling is a good fit for you.
I will discuss factors to consider when beginning online counseling. Also, I will discuss how online counseling works.
4 Factors to consider when starting Online Christian Counseling in Florida
Factor 1 for online counseling- No severe suicidal Ideation
Struggling with intense suicidal thoughts requires in-person therapy. Online counseling will not be effective.
Also, online sessions will not be appropriate for those who engage in significant self-harm behavior, such as cutting and heavy use of drugs or alcohol.
Factor 2 for online counseling- Proper internet connection
A reliable and consistent internet connection is a must. At times there may be minor disruptions in connection. However, ongoing connectivity issues will severely hinder the online counseling process.
Factor 3 for online counseling- Private space
Fearing that someone can walk in on you or hear your therapy session will increase stress and hinder your ability to be open with your therapist. Therefore, having a private space is vital.
A private space will ensure relaxation, peace, and getting the most out of your session.
Factor 4 for online counseling- Using a laptop or desktop
Having a laptop or desktop for online counseling makes things easier. Holding your phone for the session can be distracting and tiresome. However, using a phone stand could be an option.
Also, if you are engaging in EMDR therapy, using a laptop or desktop is very beneficial. EMDR requires bilateral stimulation. While bilateral stimulation (BLS) can be done by self-tapping, there are other options for BLS when using a laptop.

Is Online Christian Counseling in FL effective?
Yes! I have seen great success with clients I have worked with online. I have seen clients heal from trauma and learn to cope with and manage anxiety.
However, online therapy is not for everyone. Those who are comfortable with being online and have considered the factors stated above will have success.
Does Insurance cover online counseling in FL?
Many insurance companies reimburse for online therapy. However, it would be best to check with your specific plan to see if you have telehealth coverage.
