Online Therapy (“Telehealth”)

Empower Mental Wellness offers secure online therapy for clients in California and Texas.
Sessions are conducted via Zoom, a HIPAA-compliant platform with end-to-end encryption, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality are always protected.

We’re committed to making your virtual therapy experience as safe, supportive, and effective as possible. Below are a few tips to help you prepare for your session.

Optimizing Your Online Therapy Experience

Step 1: Ensure a Reliable Internet Connection

- A stable internet connection is key for a smooth session.

- Check that your upload/download speeds are at least 1.5 Mbps.

- Restart your modem if needed for a stronger signal.

- Try limiting other internet use in your home during your session.

- Close any unnecessary applications and pause downloads for best performance.

- If possible, sit near your modem or router to boost your connection.

 

Step 2: Find a Private, Quiet Space

- Choose a secluded spot where you're assured privacy and won't be disturbed.

 - Use a sound machine or white noise app outside your door if needed.

Step 3: Optimize Your Lighting

- Sit facing a light source (like a lamp or window).

- Avoid having light behind you, which can shadow your face.

 

Step 4: Use Earbuds or Headset

- Headphones help reduce background noise and create a more focused, confidential space for your session.

 

Step 5: Adjust Your Camera

- Place your camera at eye level so your therapist can see your face clearly.

- Position yourself so your head and shoulders are visible—just like in person.

Step 6: Support Natural Eye Contact

- Once your session begins, drag the therapist’s video feed near the top of your screen (just under your camera). This helps maintain eye contact and creates a more natural, connected conversation.

We want your online therapy experience to feel just as safe and connected as it would in person. If you ever need help preparing for a session, we’re always here to support you.
