Easy Online Therapy with Talkspace

A solution for those dealing with anxiety is a click away.

Talkspace, a online therapy program, puts the user in control of finding a licensed, professional therapist to discuss anything – day or night.

The convenience of Talkspace is similar to other on-demand services. The client sets up a membership that meets his or her needs. With the cost of insurance rising, and often not covering mental health needs, Talkspace is viable, cost-effective option. For less than the cost one traditional therapy session, the monthly fee gives clients access to unlimited messaging with his or therapist.

Getting started is easy. After an initial assessment, the client is then matched up with a therapist. Sessions are held via text message through the Talkspace app. No appointments or stacks of papers to fill out. No awkward silences in a face-to-face meeting. No rearranging work schedules for an appointment. No driving to the therapist’s office. A therapy session can be held anytime, anywhere. All sessions are private and confidential as well as HIPAA compliant. Most clients check-in with the therapist once or twice a day – a huge benefit and an option not available in a traditional counseling relationship. And because of the versatility that Talkspace provides, clients aren’t limited to a short list of therapists from which to choose in their local area.

Because everyone’s situation is unique, if a relationship isn’t quite working, users of Talkspace have the option to switch therapists at no additional cost.

While the needs of some clients require a more traditional setting, anyone can benefit from having on-demand access to a licensed therapist. Anxiety and stress often strike suddenly and having someone to talk to through in the moment could mean a significant decrease in the number of anxiety or panic attacks. Text messages provide a reference for later use, especially helpful for those where memory is an issue as well.

More than ever, people are more comfortable behind a screen, typing thoughts, feelings, and opinions. The convenience of smartphones and tablets have society plugged in and constantly connected to the outside world. Without a conscious break from an influx of information, the overwhelming need to process it all has shown an exponential increase of people suffering from stress, anxiety, and depression. Mental health needs to be a priority as much as physical health.

An online tool such as Talkspace simply makes sense. Dealing with anxiety during tough times needs to be easy. A partner-in-health is only a moment away.
