Is Teletherapy Effective?

Yes! Research on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), and parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) shows that telehealth-delivered therapy is just as effective, and sometimes more effective than in-office therapy. Dr. Stutz’s clients appreciate the convenience of attending sessions from home or work. Telehealth allows all caregivers to participate, even from separate locations. Many clients find that it is easier to apply what they learn in therapy to the home environment via telehealth. For younger children, Dr. Stutz is skilled at keeping sessions interactive and fun with therapeutic games, screen-sharing, and coaching parents how to support a child’s engagement. When discussing difficult topics, like trauma, Dr. Stutz collaborates with you to find a solution you feel comfortable with (e.g., sessions from your parked car for extra privacy, typing communications that you are concerned may be overheard). There is no “one-size fits all” in therapy, and Dr. Stutz works with you to choose telehealth practices that fit your lifestyle and comfort level.

Find a comfortable, private space where you cannot be seen or heard. You can access Dr. Stutz’s telehealth office by phone or laptop/tablet, and headphones are recommended for maximum privacy. If you are a parent, Dr. Stutz may contact you ahead of time to help set up any activities or print out worksheets for an appointment with a child. Dr. Stutz will make a back-up plan with you for any technology disruptions, so you can be assured your appointment will run as smoothly as possible.
