If you feel the need to talk to a specialist and are not in the country or in the city, this is now possible online. All you need is availability, a computer/tablet/smartphone with a good internet connection, a video camera, a microphone and a google account. Meetings can take place via Red Connect(an app for video consultation certified in Germany).
For a good online therapy/counseling process, there should be created a therapeutic framework as close as possible to a psychotherapeutic practice. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the following aspects:
– Requesting a schedule for the online session (by phone or mail).
– Ensuring the legal framework by transmitting and signing documents (confidentiality agreement and contract).
– Transmitting the invoice by email.
– Payment of the session (or several sessions) to the account communicated on the invoice.
– After receiving the payment, I will send you a link.
– Creating a private setting throughout the session (50 min. or 75 min.). Please be punctual, because you will miss valuable time of your therapy session.
– We’ll start the first session about 5 minutes earlier to make sure that technically everything is o.k. At the appointed hour and on the agreed day, you will initiate a video call by using the link sent to you.
– Psychotherapy sessions canceled at least 24 hours before can be rescheduled. Unfortunately, those canceled during the same day can not be rescheduled, but the meeting will still be paid by you, because the consultation program is based on customer requests and the time is allocated to that customer.
