ONLINE COUNSELING

Online Face-to-Face Video Counseling has become a popular form of counseling. It takes place electronically through HIPAA compliant, secure video-conferencing software scheduled at your convenience.

What are the Advantages of Online Counseling?

Face-to-Face Video Counseling is an attractive alternative to on-site counseling because…

• It is an affordable means of obtaining counseling services
• It allows more flexibility with dates and times of appointments
• Clients can engage in counseling in the comfort of their home

How does Online Counseling Work?

1. Clients call NCI to schedule appointments with one of our Online Counseling credentialed counselors.
2. NCI emails necessary Online Counseling Forms to the client, which includes:
   1. Personal Data Inventory
   2. Informed Consent Form
   3. Online Counseling Fee agreement
   4. On-File Credit Card Form (if applicable)
3. Completed forms are faxed or mailed to NCI. All forms must be completed and received by NCI before the first session.
4. Payment is made prior to each session, using one of three options:
   1. Payments may be submitted through Paypal
   2. Check or Money Order payable to NCI (Personal checks must clear our bank before the first session)
   3. Credit or Debit card by telephone
5. At the end of each session, the next Online Counseling session will be scheduled. Like all effective counseling, it is a process that usually requires several sessions, but one-time consultations are also an option.
