Online Counseling?
Online Counseling?
Tricare beneficiaries are able to enjoy all the benefits of online counseling while using their benefits!
Innovations in communications technology have caught up with health, wellness and the insurance industry. Many insurance companies that used to only cover in-person therapy are fast expanding their services to include teletherapy. Many clients report that online sessions are just as effective, if not more effective than traditional in person sessions.
If you are a Tricare recipient you are able to engage in online therapy sessions. Tricare dependents and retirees are even able to engage in therapy without a doctor’s referral. At this time Active Duty service members do require a referral.
Tricare allows you to meet a therapist who is the right fit for you. Your counselor can help you to address your concerns and better manage your stress, fears, and challenges whether related or complicated by the pandemic or not. Telemental health, or online counseling, is not intended to fully replace face-to-face therapy. Yet, studies show that it works as well, if not better, than in-person therapy in some cases.
Many experts who have explored telemental health also believe that it can effectively diminish some of the discomfort that comes with seeing a mental health professional.
The benefits of online counseling cannot be underestimated. You are in the comfort of your home, using a device that is familiar to you and talking to someone who is not only listening, but can help resolve the problems you are struggling with.
