Compass Family Counseling has been providing counseling sessions using HIPAA-Compliant portals for individuals and couples for several years and will continue to do so to be sure clients continue to have access to quality care for themselves and their families.
It’s important to care for yourself both physically and mentally at all times, but especially during times of increased stress and anxiety. I encourage you to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine, maintain good sleep hygiene (habits that are necessary to have good nighttime sleep quality and full daytime alertness), limit excessive viewing of the news, and be mindful of getting caught in negative thinking traps. I am a huge advocate of practicing mindfulness for staying grounded and decreasing feelings of overwhelm and anxiety.

What is Telemental Health?
In general terms, telemental health is defined as the use of technology to provide clinical services for counseling or psychotherapy. You may also commonly hear this referred to as 'online counseling' and it may be delivered via your computer/tablet or mobile device.
So, how does online counseling work?
We can have sessions and meet in groups from anywhere that you have an internet connection, video-enabled device, and a private place to talk. Compass Family Counseling conducts online counseling sessions and groups via Zoom’s HIPAA-Compliant portal. This portal is user-friendly and easy to use – your therapist simply sends you a secure invitation to connect for your scheduled session day and time.
*Due to licensing laws, your permanent address must be in Georgia to utilize this service.
Will my health insurance cover my online sessions?
Compass Family Counseling is an in-network provider with Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Oxford, Oscar Health, and Lyra Health. Your benefits are always verified prior to your session so that you are informed as to a possible co-pay or deductible that may apply.
