Online Therapy Removes All Barriers

Life is Hard. Getting to Therapy Should Be Easy.

Since the state of Ohio put social distancing orders in place, you’ve felt the struggle of increased work stress with decreased social connection. You’re also becoming more aware that your anxiety or depression is on the rise. You’re on edge, keyed up, and feeling more lost than ever.

You’d love to start therapy, but you just have so much going on. Where will you find the time? Perhaps you live in the city of Columbus or Grandview, and you just don’t have time to sit in traffic to get to a therapy appointment. Or maybe you live in the suburbs of Worthington, Clintonville, or Powell, and may not want to extend your commute any further. Online therapy brings to you.

Online Therapy Might Be The Solution You’ve Been Looking For.

You want high-quality, specialized therapy services, but you also need therapy that fits into your life. Online therapy services at Open Pathways Counseling may be the answer. You’ll get supportive, down-to-earth, and skilled counseling that specializes in anxiety, depression, work stress and self-doubt, quarter-life crises, and men’s issues. Through the use of a secure video chat, we’re able to offer you effective mental health services without the hassle of coming into a counseling office.

Benefits of Online Therapy in Ohio

•  Cuts the commute.

  • You don’t need to sit in Columbus rush-hour traffic on 315 or 270 to get to your counseling appointment. You can just pull up a chair, start up your laptop, and start therapy from home.

• It’s private.

  • At Open Pathways Counseling, we seek to normalize going to counseling and asking for help. However, we also get that there are just times when you’d rather keep it low-key. Online therapy offers you the total discretion you may want (unless you’re not OK with your dog knowing).

• Fits therapy into YOUR Day 

  • No more jigsaw-puzzling your Google calendar or moving heaven and earth to figure out a time that works. Without a commute, therapy is as simple as scheduling an hour at work or during a lunch break. Doing therapy from home or office can make therapy “less of a thing.” All you need is a place to sit and a good wifi connection. Done and done.

• Perfect for Those Who Work From Home

  • Our homes have become the hubs for pretty much everything we do lately. We work at home, eat at home, relax at home. So it makes sense that we can take care of our mental health from home, too. Telehealth allows us to have productive therapy sessions without having to rearrange our schedules and leave work for several hours. You can press pause on that big project or schedule a session between meetings. Whatever works for you. Therapy from home allows you to maximize your time and your life.

Is Online Therapy Effective?

You may be over video chat. We get it. Video-chat fatigue is real. But this isn’t just another online video call. This online conversation is all about YOU. It’s about you connecting with a therapist and being self-reflective. This isn’t something we do in everyday life. Most of us walk around with some kind of armor on. So if you’re serious about getting real about what’s going on with you, then a computer screen can’t stop anything. Plus, many types of therapies can still be delivered through Telehealth and research shows online counseling works from start to finish (and without the headache of the commute).
