Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy

How quickly can I start therapy?

Most clients can schedule their first online therapy appointment within a few days. After completing a brief in take and the M3 Assessment, you are matched with a licensed therapist who fits your clinical needs and availability.

What is the M3 Assessment?

The M3 Assessment (Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire) is a clinically validated mental health screening tool used to identify symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

We use the M3 at the start of care to establish a clinical baseline. Your results help your therapist develop a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your symptom profile.

What is measurement-based care in therapy?

Measurement-based care is a clinical approach that uses standardized assessments and symptom tracking to guide treatment decisions. Instead of relying solely on subjective impressions, we regularly measure symptom severity and functional improvement.

This ensures:

• Clear treatment goals

• Data-informed therapy adjustments

• Objective tracking of progress

• Faster identification of what is working

Research shows that measurement-basedcare improves outcomes in mental health treatment.

How do you track progress in online therapy?

We use the M3 Assessment and other validated clinical measures at regular intervals throughout treatment. This allows your therapist to monitor changes in anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and overall functioning.

If progress stalls, your treatment plan is adjusted using evidence-based interventions. Therapy is dynamic and responsive, not static.

Is online therapy as effective asin-person therapy?

Yes. Research shows telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person counseling for anxiety disorders, depression,PTSD, and other common mental health conditions. When combined with measurement-based care and standardized assessments like the M3, outcomes areoften more structured and transparent.

What happens in the first session?

Before your first session, you complete the M3 Assessment to establish a symptom baseline. During your appointment, your therapist reviews your results, clarifies your goals, and outlines a structured treatment plan.

You leave the first session with:

• A clear understanding of your symptom profile

• Defined treatment goals

• A plan for measurable progress

How long does therapy take?

Duration depends on symptom severity, goals, and response to treatment. Because we use measurement-based care, we regularly review your progress using standardized metrics. Many clients see measurable symptom reduction within the first several sessions.

• Licensed, experienced clinicians

• Evidence-based treatment approaches

• The clinically validated M3 Assessment

Yes. All sessions are conducted on asecure, HIPAA-compliant platform. Assessment data, including M3 results, are protected under federal privacy regulations.

Does insurance cover online therapy?

Many insurance plans cover telehealth mental health services. Coverage varies by provider and state. We can help verify your benefits before your first appointment.

What if I am in crisis?

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. In the United States, you may call or text 988 for immediate crisis support.

Online therapy is designed for ongoing treatment and is not a substitute for emergency care.
