PaxThera Offfers Online Therapy in Massachusetts

Online Therapy (Telehealth) in Massachusetts and Vermont

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re already dealing with anxiety, trama, chronic illness, burnout, or a sense of isolation that’s hard to describe. You may know you need support, but getting out the door, finding the right provider, or fitting appointments into a full life can feel like too much.

Online therapy offers flexible care. You can meet a licensed therapist in a private space, without commuting or disrupting your day.

Paxthera is a trauma‑informed counseling practice providing secure online therapy to adults located in Massachusetts and Vermont. Our work is grounded in evidence‑informed approaches and designed to meet you where you are.

What Is Online Therapy (Telehealth)?

Online therapy is mental health counseling provided through secure, HIPAA‑compliant video sessions. Instead of traveling, you meet virtually with your therapist using a device with a camera.

Telehealth therapy offers the same type of focused, relational work as in‑person sessions—while providing greater accessibility, consistency, and comfort.

What You Can Expect in a Session

Sessions are typically held via secure video through our electronic health record system, SimplePractice. Appointments are the same length as in-person sessions. Phone sessions may be used as a backup if technology issues arise due to weather and other unexpected events.

SimplePractice is designed for healthcare and meets federal privacy standards, ensuring your information and sessions are protected.

Is Online Therapy Right for You?

Online counseling suits many who need flexibility, privacy, and consistent care.

We commonly work with adults who are experiencing:

• Anxiety, panic, and/or chronic stress

• PTSD and complex trauma

• Chronic illness and ongoing health conditions

• Depression

• grief

• life transitions

• Caregiving stress and burnout

Common questions:

• How do I access the online appointment? Do I need special software? You just need a device with a camera and stable internet.

• Can I do therapy from my car? Yes, as long as you’re parked and have privacy.

• Is online therapy effective for trauma and anxiety? Evidence‑based therapy delivered via secure video can be effective for many concerns, including anxiety and trauma.

Evidence‑Informed Online Therapy

Online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy because core elements—safety, trust, consistency, and evidence-based treatment—are present over secure video.

Research shows that when clinicians use established therapeutic approaches and meet regularly with clients, outcomes for online therapy are comparable to in-person sessions for concerns like anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Many people also find that being in a familiar, comfortable environment helps them feel more at ease and open, which can actually deepen the therapeutic process.

Fees, Insurance, and Technology for Online Sessions

PaxThera is a private pay office, meaning we do not accept insurance directly. We can check your out-of-network benefits and, with Thrizer, help you submit reimbursements.

To get started with online therapy, all you need is:

• A stable internet connection

• A device with a camera and a microphone

• A private space where you feel comfortable

If technology fails or privacy becomes an issue, your therapist will work with you to adjust, reschedule, or use backup options when appropriate.
