Fast Response Telehealth Counseling
​
Our responsive, short-term, solution-focused telemental health counseling services are designed for Ohio-USA teens and adults who are experiencing a life challenge and need mental health care as soon as possible - most appointments can be scheduled within 24 to 72 hours.
Sessions help you identify immediate holistic coping strategies, create a solution-focused counseling plan, and determine next steps for ongoing mental health support. You will meet by video conference or phone - giving you access to high-quality mental healthcare from the comfort of your own environment.
​
Mood concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression), grief, relationship problems, life transitions, family & peer conflict, and school & work problems are common reasons clients request Fast Response Telehealth Counseling. Services typically last from one to twelve sessions and Stephanie will assist you with a referral for long-term therapy if you need additional support.
​To get started, call or text Stephanie at 513-854-2303 to request a consultation.

​After you speak with Stephanie and schedule services, you will receive access to your HIPAA-compliant client communication portal and new client intake forms. All forms must be completed prior to your first session.
​​Before your scheduled appointment, you will receive a reminder and secure meeting link or call-in instructions to join your telehealth session.
