Etowah Counseling provides secure, confidential telehealth services designed to make high-quality mental health care accessible while maintaining the same professional and ethical standards as in-person sessions.

All online sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform to protect your privacy and personal health information. We take confidentiality seriously and follow all state and federal regulations regarding telehealth services, documentation, and client safety.

Our therapists are fully licensed and provide telehealth services only within the states where they are legally authorized to practice. Before beginning services, clients receive clear information about:

• The benefits and limitations of telehealth

• Confidentiality and privacy protections

• Technology requirements

• Emergency procedures and crisis resources

• Informed consent for virtual services

We encourage clients to participate in telehealth sessions from a private, quiet location to protect their own confidentiality. If technical difficulties arise, we have clear backup procedures (such as phone contact) to ensure continuity of care.

Telehealth at Etowah Counseling is not a lesser version of therapy. It is a clinically effective and research-supported option for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Our commitment is to provide ethical, accessible, and compassionate care — whether you are meeting with us in person or online.
