I haven't, but I'd be more inclined to find someone local who is doing therapy online. That way you could get a recommendation from your doctor or a friend, and then have someone you can see in person in a few months (hopefully!).

I know a family member who has. We also know a woman who's a licensed MFT (marriage and family therapist) who has continued working full time but only online since last April. She's said it works fine and while a bit different, appreciates that it's more convenient both for her as well as for her patients.

I suggest getting a local recommendation, and also refer to what or who may or may not be covered by your health insurance. It's often an included item - I know from my own experiences. It was some time ago but I can't imagine the inclusion of such coverage would have changed.

Good luck.

To go with Elmer's comment about who and what is covered last year my insurance sent letters and emails stating that some co-pays were waived for counseling but to check with the insurance company before starting. Each company and plan is different so you must check with your own.

DD and I live 3 hours away from each other, so that's why we would need to do it online. Some good suggestions to find local, but we'd have to decide whose local, hers or mine? Some good suggestions, thanks.

My sister is a therapist and her online sessions have worked out very well. I think getting local recommendations is a good idea, if you can decide on your local or your daughter's.

Good idea to get recommendations but whether you have a good fit with a particular therapist is very personal. It might take a while to find one that you are both comfortable with.

I have two daughters. Very complex, indeed.

Kudos for taking the first step toward healing.

Would it make sense to split the difference and find someone 1 1/2 hour away from each of you?

"Some good suggestions to find local, but we'd have to decide whose local, hers or mine?"

I don't think it matters. I suggested "local" because that's what you're likely to get as a personal experience recommendation from someone known by either you or your daughter.

I work for psychologists who do in office or online therapy - "telehealth." It works great for both the psychologist and patient. I think you just have to find one that sounds good, hopefully based on referral or recommendation by doctor/friend, if you can, and specializes in the kinds of issues you would like to address. The problem right now, at least in my area, is that therapists are booked solid and have months long waiting lists. Good luck!

All of our therapist visits are telehealth at this time due to Covid19. It's popular with both the providers and clients. I bet that you can find someone that provides family therapy. I wish you well and hope that it strengthens your bond with your daughter.

I've been considering it. I'm on a wait list at one practice for a therapist. I want one that takes my insurance.
