MCCC offers online therapy as an option for any type of client* so long as it is clinically effective.

Online therapy is most effective with adults and couples. We have found it to be effective with teens and older kids as well, depending on their personality and risk levels. Also, online family therapy can be effective for families who are not extremely volatile. In fact, research shows that in many cases online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy.

No matter who you are, beginning to heal is better than staying stuck. We will do our best to problem-solve working online with children, riskier teens, and complicated families. Your therapist will make recommendations about how to make telehealth feasible if it is the only option (especially right now during Covid-19).

*Online therapy at MCCC is an option for clients located anywhere in the state of Maryland. Some of our clinicians are licensed to provide online therapy with clients in either DC or Virginia.*

Protecting Your Privacy During Online Therapy Sessions

Our therapists are dedicated to protecting your privacy if you choose to do online therapy. All of the same privacy standards that we would keep in the office are upheld in any of our home offices. We use HIPPA compliant software and HIPAA compliant video platforms. In other words, our therapists take your privacy seriously whether we’re meeting online or in person.

If you worry about finding privacy within your own space, just let us know during intake! That can be one of the first things we work on so that we can help to make online therapy accessible to you. This may mean using white noise to make sure other family members or roommates can’t hear you or finding a space to talk that’s private.

Online Therapy with MCCC is Different from Other National Telehealth Companies

While we do have specialties across a wide range of mental health needs, we are not a “catch-all” general online therapy platform where we farm you out to unknown therapists. You get to choose who you work with based on fit and availability just like you would if you were meeting with us in-person. All our compassionate online therapists will work hard at forming a meaningful therapeutic relationship with you. And we are not just an online crisis program; we will first help you stabilize your mood, and then we will help you to move forward towards your goals!
