Online Therapy Services in IL with Experienced Therapists

You probably see an ad for online counseling multiple times a day. Over the last few years, online counseling has become quite popular, but it has actually been around for decades. 

Online Counseling is not for everyone, but many find it convenient and effective.

What makes S & J Wellness different than the large corporations you see ads for when scrolling your phone? 

For starters, we are local. Some of us were born and raised in Chicago, some of us are from DuPage County, but collectively we have over 60 years of experience in the field of social work, counseling, crisis, leadership and behavioral health. 

As a practice, we are diligent with only using the most secure forms of communication. Our email is encrypted, our client portal is HIPAA secure, and contact forms on our website are secure. 

Does Virtual Therapy Work as Well as In-Person Therapy?

Another great question! There are risks of privacy if you are not able to be in a private room. We encourage that you find a quiet, private space to conduct your telehealth sessions with one of our Warrenville or telehealth therapists. 

Another downside, the therapist may not always be able to read body cues to gage anxiety levels, but our therapists are trained to read the unspoken, and check in with you if you feel anxiety or uncertainty during session. The therapists at S & J Wellness like to connect with their client whether in office or by video. 

Benefits of Online Teletherapy

Some clients may deal with anxiety symptoms that make it difficult for them to leave home. Other clients may have chronic health conditions that make it painful to go through the process of getting to the office, taking an elevator up, waiting in the lobby. Telehealth can make therapy more accessible for some people.

If you are a busy parent, or have a busy work schedule, telehealth may be for you. When you do not have a commute, all you need to do is login to our secure client portal and meet your therapist in the virtual therapy room. Our local therapists are professional and have reliable internet connections, have a distraction free virtual therapy office, and have the experience to help you through the concern you are seeking therapy for.
