How It Works

Research has shown that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes, and because it offers more flexibility and convenience, it provides additional advantages. However, online therapy might not be for everyone. Those struggling with severe mental health conditions or requiring in-patient services may not be a good fit for online therapy.

Therapy and psychiatry are two distinct types of services that cater to different aspects of mental healthcare, and both are vital in managing mental wellness.

• Therapy involves talking to a licensed mental health professional, such as a  therapist or counselor, to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy focuses on providing support, resolving conflicts, and developing coping skills to manage emotional and psychological challenges. Common approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and other psychotherapeutic approaches. Therapy does not involve medications.
  
• Psychiatry, on the other hand, is a medical field where psychiatric providers such as a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, diagnose and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. They conduct medical evaluations and are licensed to prescribe and manage medications.  Some may also provide therapy, but often they focus on medication management in collaboration with therapists for comprehensive care. Medication is only prescribed if it is deemed a safe, effective, and appropriate treatment option for you.

MindGlow Health treats the full spectrum of mental health conditions and diagnoses, including: 

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• Major Depressive Disorder
• Panic Disorder
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Substance-Use Disorder
• Bipolar Disorder
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)*

However, you don’t need a formal diagnosis to seek therapy. People also come to us for help with:

• Self-improvement or personal growth
• Stress management
• Relationship issues
• Grief and loss
• Self-esteem or confidence concerns
• Life transitions (such as career changes or moving)
• Personal growth and development
• Navigating difficult emotions (like anger, sadness, or confusion)
• Family and parenting challenges
• Work-related stress or burnout

Your provider will work with you to identify your concerns and the best available treatments for your unique situation, whether it’s a diagnosed condition or a personal challenge you’re facing. Therapy can also help improve your emotional wellbeing, provide clarity, and offer strategies to better cope with life’s ups and downs.

*If you have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, your prescriber can offer non-stimulant medication options like Strattera or Intuniv. Please note that we do not diagnose ADHD or prescribe Schedule 2 stimulant medications, such as Adderall or Ritalin. Therapy can also be a helpful tool in managing ADD/ADHD symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms or have an existing diagnosis, we recommend seeking a licensed specialist in your community for a comprehensive evaluation.
