Get start with video therapy

What is video therapy?

Video therapy is just like traditional therapy, the only difference being that it’s conducted over a video session instead of in the counselor’s office. If you’ve ever been on a Zoom call, the experience will feel strikingly similar!

Online therapy has been proven to be as effective as in-person therapy, so you’re not sacrificing quality by choosing this option. In fact, you may find the experience a lot more enjoyable as you don’t have to spend time getting to the office, waiting for an appointment, or even wearing pants!

Who is video therapy for?

As we’ve established, online video therapy isn’t different from face-to-face experience. So whether you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship counseling, or anything else, rest assured that video therapy will serve you just fine.

Some people would find even more benefit from video therapy, such as:

Busy professionals: For those with demanding schedules, video therapy offers a convenient way to fit mental health care into a busy workday
Individuals with mobility challenges: It’s a practical solution for people with difficulty traveling to a counselor’s office due to physical constraints.
Residents in remote areas: Those living in rural or remote locations can access quality care without the need for long-distance travel.
People seeking privacy: For anyone who prefers the privacy of their own space for sensitive discussions, video chat therapy provides that discretion.
Budget-conscious: Video chat therapy reduces many overhead costs for you and your counselor, making it a better option for everyone.
Travelers and nomads: Constant travelers can maintain continuity in therapy without geographic constraints.

Why choose Calmerry video counseling

I've made a commitment this year to…

I've made a commitment this year to become the better me. And, as part of that commitment, I decided to try out therapy for the first time. Honestly? I am a bit skeptical when people online talk about something so much, always feels like it's just hype and too good to be true. But therapy, and calmery specificaly, exceeded all my expectations! It's very fun and simple to use, I can chat and zoom with my therapist and there are also a lot of things I can do between the sessions! The way to track progress is a fun thing, almost like Duolingo streaks lol! I don't have much to compare to, but Calmery has been a great and easy experience for a newcomer into therapy.

Last few months have been really tough…

Last few months have been really tough to the point where I started feeling like I’m going to have a heart attack. The good news is that I’m physically healthy. The bad one is that it seems like I have a serious case of anxiety that I need to work on. I’ve never been to therapy before, so decided that online would be a nice middlepoint, that won’t take as much of time. Reviews and pricing pointed me into Calmerry’s direction, and I’m liking what I see so far. Matching process has been good, they’ve found me a therapist that specializes in anxiety. Had only one video session so far but video and chat combo really makes me feel like my therapist is always there for me.

Great Customer Service

Upon deciding that online therapy was not the right fit for me, I contacted customer support, and the customer service team was very helpful and responsive. They offered many options and were very understanding of my situation.

Pros: helpful professionals - Cons: app issues and time difference difficulties

The professionals are very helpful however I do think that app issues and time difference can hinder the process. One app issue I had was I would receive a notification that I received a message one minute ago (from my phone notifications) but when I would go to the app, it would actually be from 30 minutes ago. Receiving notifications 30 minutes late can add up to when professionals are available 5 hours per day, five days out of the week. Also, for any new people I would advise making sure you talk with a professional in your time zone. Personally, having a four hour time difference was difficult for me.

Good service but not for me.

Therapist responded everyday but very general responses, felt like they would just repeat what I said in a question form. Overall good experience, I just like in person therapy better. More personal.

Sometimes a new therapist is all it takes

To give a quick overview, I am doing great, but the beginning of my journey was not so. The opportunity to change therapists was what saved the experience for me!My first therapist seemed uninterested and basically just sympathized with my hurt and did not give any sort of feedback for improving. When I spoke about the hardships within my relationship, he was quick to advice that I leave even if it hurts.. no feedback on why my mindset was this way, how to think straight nor how to cope with my feelings, I felt more defeated/judged when he started giving me a sermon as soon as he heard that I was religious as I was explaining my upbringing without me asking for religious advice. He verbalized that my depression was a spiritual war within me and that I was living in sin and therefore the enemy was attacking me… at was at a loss and in an even worse spot.I was on the verge of canceling when I was offered a change of therapist which completely changed the course of my journey. Natalia was attentive to my struggles, took time to listen and explain many new concepts to help me understand where my difficulties and thoughts where stemming from, I learned things about myself that I did not even realize were there since my childhood and how detrimental they have been within my life relationships! She created a concrete plan and followed up with me consistently throughout the whole time. I felt cared for, acknowledged, supported even when it was difficult for me to accept certain realities within me that I needed to change, and most importantly more confident/guided with the resources to improve as a person through this new understanding. I highly admire Natalia’s genuineness, integrity, and dedication to each meeting. I could see she was taking the time to read, understand every conversation through the feedback she gave. I really have no words but gratitude!

My therapist is a real professional

Calmerry is fine. They’ve fixed a few glitches in the app so now it’s much better. It’s easy to use, and I love the Coa bot that helps track your mood. I’ve never had any issues with my therapist, she’s a real professional, and she always helps me when I need to talk to someone. It’s definitely cheaper than regular therapy but it works well for me so I definitely recommend it to anyone who needs psychological help. As for the downsides, I wish video calls were a little longer.

Helpful, professional therapy

My therapist has helped me so much by listening and being available and even holding a mirror up to me at times when I needed it. She is calm and professional and has been profoundly impactful in my life. I will use her again if I need to. Very grateful.

The key elements of therapy – communication, privacy, and personalized attention – are all present in video therapy.

Why is video therapy better than in-person?

Video therapy offers several advantages over in-person therapy. It’s more convenient, eliminating travel time and fitting more easily into busy schedules. It also provides accessibility for individuals living in remote areas or facing mobility challenges. Additionally, many clients find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own home.

How to get privacy during video therapy?

To ensure privacy during sessions, choose a quiet, private space and use headphones. Our platform employs strong encryption protocols to protect all communications. Client data is handled strictly and complies with HIPAA regulations, ensuring your information is secure and private.

Why is video therapy good?

Video therapy is effective, convenient, and flexible. It allows clients to access therapy from any location, provides a comfortable and familiar session environment, and offers more scheduling flexibility. This mode of therapy can make mental health support more accessible to a wider range of people.

How much does video therapy cost?

At Calmerry, the price of video counseling depends on your chosen plan, with the most affordable plans starting as little as $50 for the first month. Choosing the plan depends on your current needs, availability (i.e., can you find the time for video sessions), and the severity of your situation.

Technical considerations or how to prepare for video sessions

Before your session, ensure a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a quiet, private space. Test your video and audio beforehand.
