Telehealth

Online Therapy.jpeg by Miami Therapist Lotus CounselingWe are happy to offer our clients Teletherapy counseling for your convenience. Receive help right where you are with a licensed and professional counselor. At Lotus Counseling our doctors and therapists are professionally trained, hold degrees, and are licensed to help you. Sometimes, it is not always practical or possible to meet a therapist in person for face-to-face counseling. We are able to meet your need for remote assistance using phone or video meetings via our client portal. E-counselors are just as committed to you and working with you as they would be if you saw them in person.

Many find that it’s more convenient (you can do it from your home, office, or anywhere you have a Web connection), and faster (it eliminates time spent commuting or sitting in a waiting room).

Research has found that Web therapy can be equally as effective as the face-to-face kind. Patients feel satisfied using Teletherapy and have reduced symptoms after video treatment, according to a 2011 study.

  • You are unable or unwilling to travel to a counseling office.
  • You live in a remote place where counseling services are inaccessible.
  • You travel for work a lot and do not want to miss any sessions while out of town.
  • You do not feel comfortable about visiting a counselor’s office or you do not want others to know that you go see a counselor.
  • You would like to work on yourself in a place where you feel comfortable.
  • You are very busy and do not have time to travel to counseling services.
  • You would like to try out counseling before committing to more long-term therapy.

Patient testimonials

Hear from our patients in their own words

Coming to see you was the best decision I ever made" are words that I said to Alessana at some point during my therapy. Alessana helped me build confidence in myself both personally and professionally. Through my therapy, I gained insight and understanding of who I am and my value, and not just to individuals in my life, but to myself. I now value who I am and most importantly, respect myself. Subsequently, I am down to a 5mg dose (compared to 25mg dose when I started therapy) of blood pressure medication and have continued to lose and maintain my weight. I attribute these improvements to therapy. I've learned to control my stress, think things out without anger or anxiety and that keeps my emotional state on an even keel. Additionally, it has helped me from hitting the fridge when I am stressed or at the very least make better, healthier choices. Now, one year after completing therapy, I still feel it was the best decision I ever made.

I started working with Alessana because I was desperate for change and had reached a low point in my life. Her compassion and empathetic support were crucial to my healing many old wounds and the variety of techniques she employs in therapy helped me to find an inner fortitude I never knew I had. I have learned from her how to set healthy boundaries in my relationships and am now finding it easy to speak what is on my mind effectively. Moreover, I now know I have a lot to say, and a right to be heard. My relationships are more authentic and I am having a lot more fun these days--which is a lot to be said, given the current state of world affairs. I'm grateful to Alessana for her professional talents, her enduring patience, kindness and guidance, not to mention her sense of humor. I never knew therapy could be fun. I will continue to recommend her as a counselor/therapist/coach."

Alessana Fordin has been indescribably helpful to me in my life. I recommended Alessana and the Lotus Counseling Center to one of my best and closest friends. Ms. Fordin is very intelligent, highly trained, patient, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She helped me resolve major issues that had been bothering me and recurring for years. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I now love myself and feel much better."

I started working with Alessana to treat depression and anxiety. Years ago, I would never have thought that I would be in the place that I'm in today. My work with her has greatly improved all aspects of my life. I have a better relationship with myself and others. Alessana is truly the best at what she does. She is very compassionate, intelligent, understanding, and kind. She has guided me to overcome and understand a lot of challenges that I've had. Going to Lotus has been one of the most fulfilling choices that I've made for myself. I am forever thankful for the work that we've done together!!
