Tele-Therapy

What is Tele-counseling?

Telemedicine is a method of conducting the practice of counseling by a social worker with a client through remote means such as a computer with the use of the internet that has the capability for audio and video communication. With this method, the client need not go to the place of the social woker or the latter need not go to where the client is.

Risks

Since the transmission of information relies on electronic methods such as the internet, transmission of information may be intermittent or may yield poor results in rare cases, or inaccessibility to records. As such, there can be tendencies of delay in the evaluation, diagnosis, and/or treatment. There is likewise no perfect security. Breaches may occur but rest assured, we are always doing our best to ensure up to date security measures are in place all the time.

Benefits

With tele-counseling, there is more efficiency in terms of time usage and management. No need to travel to the clinic and get the services you need. You can be anywhere, even in your own home.

Records

All laws currently in force relating to access and use of records shall apply to this tele-counseling informed consent. Use and access to all client information shall strictly be followed and will require the client's consent.

Thus, we apply reasonable and appropriate security measures and procedures to eliminate any possible security breaches that may arise in relation to this tele-counseling consultation.
