Empathy Health offers compassionate, confidential online talk therapy services for adults in Orlando, Florida. Therapy can be an effective way to address depression, anxiety or Mood Disorder or simply help you manage the stressors of everyday life. With the convenience of virtual sessions with our mental health professionals, you can access the care you need to improve your quality of life.
At Empathy Health, we understand that reaching out for help with mental health issues can be challenging and overwhelming. Our mental health services help you connect with online therapists in a few easy steps and get started with virtual therapy.
At Empathy Health, the client intake process is your first step toward personalized online therapy services. During this initial session, we gather comprehensive information about your health history, current conditions and treatment goals. This critical step ensures we tailor our therapeutic approaches to meet your needs, setting the foundation for effective treatment.
We can also assess your insurance coverage so you know your potential out-of-pocket expenses. We accept insurance health plans from several payers, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare and Medicare.
If your treatment includes medication management for anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression or another mental health condition, we may recommend follow-up sessions. These sessions are different from virtual therapy; they allow our medical provider to evaluate the effectiveness of your medications and overall treatment plan. During these meetings, adjustments to dosage or frequency may be made as needed.
The last step in our process is online talk therapy as ongoing treatment. Depending on your needs, you may benefit from virtual sessions once or twice weekly, where we use evidence-based therapy treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based therapy.
These sessions can help you address and manage your mental health challenges. Our skilled therapists work with you to apply therapeutic techniques that foster healing and promote long-term well-being.
Therapy, often referred to as therapy or counseling, is a joint effort between you and a trained therapist to tackle emotional, psychological or behavioral issues. It offers a confidential and supportive setting to discuss your thoughts, feelings and experiences, develop coping mechanisms and pursue personal growth and positive transformations.
During therapy sessions at Empathy Health, you can expect to communicate openly and honestly with your therapist in a secure, non-judgmental space. Together, you will use the following strategies and interventions to set therapeutic goals and improve your well-being:
This therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It’s effective in treating a variety of disorders, including depression and anxiety, by helping clients develop coping skills that target current problems.
Developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT is helpful for individuals with mood disorders or suicidal behavior. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, emphasizing emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Psychodynamic Therapy aims to uncover how unconscious thoughts affect current behavior through self-reflection and self-examination. It’s used to resolve deep-seated emotional conflicts and improve interpersonal relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy interventions incorporate practices like meditation and breathing exercises to help clients become more aware of the present moment and less caught up in negative thought patterns. It is often used to manage stress, anxiety and depression.
Therapy, whether through an online phone call or virtual platform, can help you manage symptoms associated with several mental health conditions. Our professionals at Empathy Health offer treatment for the following:
Therapy, particularly CBT, is effective for anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and specific phobias. It helps you identify and reframe negative thoughts, learn relaxation and exposure techniques and address underlying causes of anxiety, leading to improved daily functioning and reduced physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and sweating.
For depression, CBT and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) provide a supportive environment to tackle persistent sadness and hopelessness. These therapies help patients explore emotional triggers, challenge harmful thought patterns and develop effective coping strategies, enhancing overall life satisfaction.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are key in treating PTSD. These methods aid in processing traumatic memories and altering distressing beliefs about the trauma, helping you regain a sense of control and reduce symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance
Therapeutic approaches such as Motivational Interviewing (MI) and CBT are crucial for managing mood disorders. They focus on identifying the best approach to controlling highs and lows, and fostering healthier lifestyle choices, supporting sustained recovery and improved relationships.
Chronic stress, relationship challenges, and anger issues can impact quality of life. To help you manage life’s stressors, our online therapists use modalities like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) and tools like meditation and cognitive restructuring during your sessions.
At Empathy Health, we help you manage depression with consistent and personalized treatment. By integrating therapy, lifestyle changes and medication management, we provide support that addresses both the emotional and physical aspects of depression, helping you reclaim your life and well-being.
