Session Preparation
Before we have an actual session, a couple of things happen.
First, we have a "discovery call. This is where we discuss your needs and what you hope to gain from a session.
Preparing for Your Virtual Therapy Session
To ensure you get the absolute most out of your time at Real Relief Therapy, please review these essential guidelines before we begin:
Optimal Tech Setup for Telehealth: For the highest quality virtual therapy experience, please use a laptop rather than a smartphone. Ensure your device is stably positioned so your face is clearly visible on camera at all times.
Comfort is Key for Effective Counseling: Physical relaxation deeply supports the therapeutic process. Please settle into a highly comfortable, supportive position, such as resting in a reclining chair or laying back on a couch or bed.
A Private, Distraction-Free Environment: Secure a quiet, private space for your online therapy session. It is critical that you remain completely undisturbed by other people or pets for the full duration of our time together.
Flexible Therapy Session Lengths: Because every individual’s path to wellness is unique, the length of your online counseling session is customizable and will vary according to your specific therapeutic goals and needs.
Required Intake Forms via Email: Please provide a reliable, working email address when booking. Prior to your appointment, you will receive standard intake forms and therapist terms of service that must be reviewed and completed before we begin.
Strict Confidentiality: Your privacy and security are our top priorities. All telehealth counseling sessions, shared personal information, and discussions remain completely confidential.
Provided Session Recordings: To help you reflect on your progress and reinforce the breakthroughs discussed, sessions are recorded so that you can receive a personal video copy for your own records afterward.
Individualized Treatment Plans: Healing is a highly personal journey. While some clients experience rapid relief, deeper or more complex issues may require multiple therapy sessions. We will tailor our approach to honor your unique timeline and needs.
