Frequently Asked Questions: Online Therapy in California, Nevada, and Texas

What is therapy like?

The therapeutic experience varies from person to person as it is tailored to your unique needs. Sometimes it's a more brief intervention of 6-12 weeks to address a specific issue or a more extended exploration of underlying challenges. Sessions are scheduled on a regular basis - either once a week or biweekly, fostering a consistent and supportive environment. Therapy is an ongoing process, and the ultimate goal is to help you integrate the insights gained into your daily life, often involving tasks you can engage in outside of sessions to support your progress.

What happens in the first sessions?

The first session is all about building rapport and establishing a relationship between you and your therapist. We will often talk about goals and expectations, and complete necessary documents.

How does virtual therapy work?

Path to Growth Counseling is an online counseling practice serving Texas, Nevada, and California. We conduct all sessions virtually – through a secure online platform. This helps reduce some of the barriers to therapy like transportation and scheduling. Our clients love this aspect of our practice. All you need is a reliable internet connection, a quiet confidential space, and openness. Pets are always welcome :).

What are the benefits of therapy?

There are so many benefits of therapy. Therapists offer invaluable support, equip you with problem-solving skills, and enhance coping strategies for issues like depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and processing childhood trauma. Therapy will help you work towards personal growth, healthy and connected relationships, and navigating the ups and downs of life with resilience.

How does payment work?

Our online counseling practice is a private pay clinic. Individual sessions are $175/session and couples therapy sessions are $200/session. We are happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.

Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of the client-therapist relationship. Successful therapy relies on a high degree of trust in discussing sensitive subjects within the confines of the therapy sessions. You’ll receive a copy of the confidential disclosure agreement, assuring you that what is discussed in sessions remains private. While there are situations where confidentiality must be breached in accordance with state law and professional ethics, such as suspected abuse or imminent harm to oneself or others, your therapist is committed to respecting your privacy and seeking your permission when necessary.
