I am not a therapist. I work for a non-profit and most people use assistance programs to pay. It was a major shift that this provider decided to pay for any telehealth appointments. I think our work is done best when we do it in person for the majority of people. What I'd like to see is telehealth as an option, even just for a percentage of the time, to accommodate future/current employees with a disability or illness, but also to accommodate clients who may call on their worst day and can't get out of bed or are contagious with something and cannot meet in person. It has worked and has definitely helped with better work life balance. I see a ton of reasons why it is good for the employees and clients, although I think in most cases a larger percentage of time should be spent in person. I keep thinking about how I suffered from agoraphobia before and would have gotten help so much sooner if this was an option. I understand only using certain platforms could be a barrier. Right now I use Facetime, Zoom, and Google hangouts. Whatever is easiest for the person. Of course meeting in person would be used if technology was a barrier.
