What Is Online Therapy?

Online therapy—also called telehealth or virtual counseling—uses secure video platforms to connect you with a licensed therapist. Sessions happen in real time, just like in-office appointments, but from the comfort and privacy of your home.

All you need is:

• A stable internet connection

• A phone, tablet, or computer

• A quiet, private space

At Vallis Mental Health, our telehealth platform is HIPAA-compliant and easy to use.

Why So Many People in Alabama Are Choosing Online Therapy

Virtual therapy isn't just convenient—it’s accessible, flexible, and empowering.

Here’s why clients love it:

• No travel time — perfect for rural areas or tight schedules

• More privacy — no waiting room, no explaining where you’re going

• Comfort — you can talk from your favorite chair or cozy space

• Flexibility — easier to fit around work, parenting, or school

If you live outside of Madison or just prefer not to drive, online therapy ensures you still receive high-quality care from local providers who understand Alabama-specific concerns.

Common Concerns About Online Therapy

Is it as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes. Numerous studies show that telehealth is just as effective as traditional therapy, especially for treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma.

Is it secure?

Absolutely. Vallis uses encrypted, HIPAA-compliant software to protect your privacy and personal information.

Will I connect with my therapist the same way?

Many clients find they open up even faster in a familiar environment. Plus, our therapists are trained to make virtual sessions feel personal, safe, and collaborative.
