FAQs - About Telepsychiatry
Can you see a psychiatrist online?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. For many individuals, finding a psychiatrist who offers accessible and flexible care is a key part of building a successful therapeutic relationship. Telepsychiatry, which is psychiatric care delivered via video or phone, can be a highly effective and convenient alternative to in-person visits. What differentiates psychiatrists from other types of mental health professionals is their ability to prescribe psychiatric medications. These medications can be a vital part of treatment for many individuals, helping to regulate mood, reduce anxiety, improve focus, or manage intrusive or distressing thoughts. Psychiatrists will assess clients’ current symptoms and can determine whether medication is necessary and, if so, what the best class and dosage may be.
Ongoing sessions with a psychiatrist typically involve close monitoring of how the medication is working, assessing side effects, and making adjustments as necessary. This process is often collaborative and may include the psychiatrist coordinating with the client’s primary care provider or therapist. For patients already taking psychiatric medication, psychiatrists can provide ongoing medication management to help maintain stability and modify prescriptions based on any changes in symptoms or life circumstances. Telepsychiatry may be especially valuable for people who live in rural or underserved areas, individuals with mobility or transportation challenges, and/or those seeking care from a psychiatrist with specialized expertise not available locally. It offers the opportunity to receive high-quality psychiatric care from your home, thus reducing the logistical barriers that can make it difficult to get consistent care.

How to find a psychiatrist online?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to filter for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who offer telepsychiatry services. While most health insurance plans cover telepsychiatry similarly to in-person treatment, it’s important to verify your coverage details with your specific plan. As you search for a provider, consider their clinical expertise, experience, and therapeutic approach to ensure a good fit for your individual needs. Additionally, before beginning treatment, make sure you have access to the necessary technology—such as a secure video platform and a stable internet connection—to support effective telepsychiatry sessions.
