Therapist Thoughts

One of the keys to a successful therapy practice is being congruent.

Does what you believe match with how you live, treat others (including your clients) and how you handle your life online? If they met you in person would they see you as they see you online? These are things that potential clients will pick up on. As clients become more aware of the options available to them for therapy, it is vital that you not only come across as someone who can help, but also someone who is real.

One way to keep your brand in front of your clients is to customize your conference room.

As you know, when you log into your FaceToFaceGlobal conference room a web page appears with the header graphic welcoming you to the conference room. We have that page set up by default and you are always welcome to use it. However, you can change it.

Included with your membership is the video email feature that comes with the Face to Face Global technology. You will be able to access this feature within your video therapy conference room.  You can make a video using that feature and post the link on your blog for a quick and easy "in person post" video option!

To Your Success,

If for whatever reason, you don't wish to offer therapy outside your association boundaries, just make sure you use your location in the text of your blog and tag your post with the appropriate key words. For example, if you are a therapist in Washington D.C., and your association prefers that you not offer services outside of Washington D.C., use your State in the text of your post and include phrases such as "I am a Washington D.C. based therapist offering online psychotherapy via video counseling, from my computer to yours! If you are seeking therapy in Washington D.C. please contact me to set up an initial appointment, without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home."

You could offer an explanation of your licence agreement, for the clients who wish to seek your expertise, but live outside of Washington D.C.
