ONLINE THERAPY IN
WISCONSIN
SOMETIMES, HAVING EASY ACCESS TO QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES CAN BE A CHALLENGE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN OR ARE JUST TOO BUSY TO MAKE IT TO AN APPOINTMENT.
Wisconsin is an incredible state to live in! And, if you live near one of the big cities like Milwaukee or Green Bay, your chances of finding a therapist are good. But, who wants to drive to see a therapist every week in the cold, snowy winters? If you are a college student and living in a college town like Madison, Appleton, Eau Claire, or Oshkosh, and there may be a very long wait to see the therapist at your school. Or maybe you are a Veteran or Military family member and find the wait times to get into the Veterans Association (VA) to be too long. You or your loved one served our country and you deserve to be treated quickly and with respect. Regardless of your barrier to mental health care, there are other ways to receive quality counseling in Wisconsin.

Telemental health services, also known as online counseling or etherapy, is the same mental health counseling services that you are used to in an office, but without all the hassles getting there.

HOW ONLINE THERAPY WORKS WITH LOCATION
By law, mental health professionals can only see clients in the state they have a license in. Therefore, if you live in Wisconsin, you need to see a therapist who has a Wisconsin license to practice therapy. At Synergy eTherapy, we have experienced mental health counselors who are comfortable offering counseling services online.
THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE THERAPY IN WISCONSIN
CONVENIENCE: ONLINE THERAPY SAVES TIME
If you think about how long it takes you to leave your home, job, or school, to dive in traffic to see a therapist, and then drive home, it adds up.
What if you could see a therapist where it is convenient and then get back to your day, your family, or studying? Without travel time? How amazing does this sound? With online therapy, this is a reality. You can save time and energy, for the other parts of your life.
SYNERGY ETHERAPY GIVES OPTIONS FOR ONLINE COUNSELING
Finding a counselor that you feel comfortable working with is important. You may have to try a couple of different counselors to find the right fit. Synergy eTherapists in Wisconsin is that we have multiple psychologists to choose from! Therefore, you get to see a counselor that has a lot of experience treating clients with the same concerns you have.
Some parts of Wisconsin have multiple options for therapists that specialize in a specific issue. Larger cities, like Green Bay, typically have a lot of options to choose from. However, finding someone who specializes in a specific treatment like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE) in a smaller city could be hard to find. It’s important to find a therapist that is an expert in treating clients who have similar mental issues as you do.
In conclusion, this is why online counseling is a great option. It allows you to see a counselor who you enjoy working with and specializes in your area of concern while allowing you to remain in an area that is convenient for you.

DOES ONLINE THERAPY WORK?
Online therapy sounds pretty cool, but does it work? Can you use technology to connect to a therapist and have a quality counseling session? Online therapy is fairly new, so if you haven’t participated in online mental health services before, it makes sense that you would want to do your research before starting.
The simple answer is yes! Online counseling (also called etherapy or Telehealth) can work. Research has shown that online counseling can be just as effective in treating many mental health concerns as in-person counseling.
COUNSELING FOR TRAUMA IN WISCONSIN
If you’ve suffered from a traumatic experience like growing up in a rough environment, assault, war, rape, loss, or witnessing a natural event, therapy can make a big difference in helping you feel better.

You do not need to suffer from debilitating nightmares, anxiety, depression, anger or irritability that may be underlying symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Getting help from an online counselor can make all the difference in quality of life.
COGNITIVE PROCESSING THERAPY (CPT)
One of our Wisconsin Synergy eTherapists, Dr. Bethany Klim, was trained in the VA and is a combat veteran herself. She was trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) and in Cognitive Processing Therapy, which are evidence-based, short-term therapeutic treatments aimed at reducing or even eliminating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
In CPT therapy, the therapist teaches you about PTSD symptoms and then encourages you to challenge his or her faulty belief system or “stuck points” associated with the stressor.
In counseling, you become familiar with your thoughts and feelings through exercises designed to increase your insight. You are encouraged to write a summary of the stressful event. After that, you will learn cognitive tools designed to think about the traumatic event in a new, adaptive way.

Individual etherapy or online group therapy sessions for college students in Wisconsin can be extremely helpful.
