How Telehealth Counseling Works

Starting online counseling with Oakline Counseling is designed to be straightforward.

1. Request an Appointment

Contact Oakline Counseling to request an appointment or consultation. We'll gather the necessary information and discuss whether telehealth counseling may be appropriate for your needs.

2. Complete Your Forms

Before your first appointment, you'll receive information regarding any required intake forms, practice policies, informed consent, and telehealth procedures.

3. Find a Private Space

Choose a quiet, private location where you feel comfortable speaking openly and where interruptions can be minimized.

4. Join Your Session

At your scheduled appointment time, use the information provided by Oakline Counseling to connect with your therapist through the designated telehealth platform.

5. Begin Your Counseling Journey

Your therapist will work with you to understand your concerns, identify your goals, and develop an individualized plan for moving forward.

Privacy During Online Counseling

Privacy is an important part of the therapeutic relationship.

Oakline Counseling takes appropriate steps to protect the confidentiality of telehealth sessions and uses technology and procedures designed for the delivery of professional behavioral health services.

Clients also play an important role in maintaining privacy during virtual appointments.

Whenever possible, attend your session from a private location, use a secure internet connection, and limit interruptions from other people or devices.

Your therapist will review important telehealth privacy and informed-consent information with you as part of the counseling process.

Online Therapy Without the Commute

For many people, one of the greatest advantages of telehealth is convenience.

Instead of spending additional time driving to and from an appointment, you can dedicate that time to yourself.

Telehealth can make it easier to fit counseling into your life while maintaining work, family, school, and other responsibilities.

Convenience, however, doesn't mean your care should feel impersonal.

At Oakline Counseling, we remain committed to creating a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported—even when we're meeting through a screen.

Telehealth Counseling for Couples

Busy schedules can make finding time for couples counseling particularly challenging.

When clinically appropriate, virtual couples counseling can provide partners with greater flexibility while giving them dedicated time to focus on communication, connection, conflict, and other relationship concerns.

Your therapist can discuss whether telehealth couples counseling is appropriate for your particular circumstances.

Telehealth Counseling Throughout Georgia

Oakline Counseling is based in Marietta, Georgia, and telehealth services may allow eligible clients to receive counseling without traveling to our physical office.

Because professional licensing requirements apply to telehealth services, eligibility for virtual counseling depends on factors including the client's location at the time services are provided and the clinician's professional licensure and authorization.

Please contact Oakline Counseling to confirm whether telehealth services are available in your location.

Experience Counseling With Greater Flexibility

Taking care of your emotional well-being is important, but finding time for yourself can be difficult.

Telehealth counseling can remove some of the practical barriers that make attending therapy challenging while still giving you dedicated time to focus on yourself, your relationships, and your emotional health.

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship concerns, or a difficult season of life, Oakline Counseling is here to help you explore your options.
