What is telehealth therapy?

Telehealth therapy means attending your sessions online using a private, secure video platform. It offers the same high-quality, evidence-based care as in-person therapy—without the commute. You can connect from any quiet, private space where you feel comfortable.

Who is telehealth therapy for?

Online therapy at Rise Psychology is available to individuals and couples residing in Washington or Oregon. It’s a great fit for people managing busy schedules, chronic health conditions, parenting responsibilities, or those living in rural areas with limited in-person options.

What technology do I need?

You’ll need:

  • A device with video and audio capabilities (computer, tablet, or smartphone)

  • A reliable internet connection

  • A quiet, private space for your session

No apps or downloads are required. The platform is HIPAA-compliant and encrypted, protecting your confidentiality and meeting all federal privacy standards for healthcare.

Is telehealth as effective as in-person therapy?

  • Anxiety and OCD

  • Stress and burnout

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Perfectionism and overthinking

Many clients appreciate the flexibility and accessibility of telehealth, including:

  • Greater access to care if you're in a remote area or managing physical limitations
