Teletherapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy. Ensuring a successful teletherapy session involves both the client and the therapist working together to create a productive and therapeutic environment. Below are some helpful tips that you can use to help make the most out of your teletherapy sessions:

1. Technical Setup
    Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a reliable, compatible device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) with a working camera and microphone, as well as a full charge or connected to a power source.
    Before your initial appointment, download the platform app if necessary for the device you are using and begin to familiarize yourself with it. It's a good idea to test it before each session to make sure it works properly.

2. Privacy and Confidentiality 
    Find a quiet, private, and comfortable space where you won't be interrupted during the session. If necessary or preferred, use headphones to maintain privacy.
    Inform others in your household about the session to prevent interruptions and uphold your privacy.

3. Logistics
    Be punctual. Please log in a few minutes before the scheduled session time to make sure technical issues can be resolved in a timely manner if they arise. 
    Have a notepad/journal and a pen/pencil for taking notes or writing down important insights and take aways during session.

4. Distractions
    Minimize distractions in your environment. If using a smartphone, consider putting it on Do Not Disturb, turn off notifications on all devices being used, and close unnecessary applications.

5. Engagement and Communication
    Approach teletherapy with the same level of commitment and engagement as you would in-person therapy.
    Be honest and open about your feelings and experiences.
    If you have any concerns or questions about the teletherapy process, be sure to bring them up for discussion.
