Here's what to expect
An introductory conversation
During your initial assessment, your licensed therapist will help assess your current situation and explore potential options for reducing your distress.
Personalized care planning
Together, you and your licensed therapist will create an individualized care plan to help improve your mental health and total well-being.
Counseling services for continual support
Your licensed therapist will provide ongoing sessions with you to help you address your areas of concern.
Navigation & collaboration
If you have a need for higher levels of care,* our licensed therapists will work with you to find an appropriate specialist from our extensive provider network and collaborate with your existing providers when appropriate.
Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting help
MinuteClinic services may be less expensive and can be more convenient than traditional mental and emotional health counseling services. We can bill your insurance* directly, or you can pay with cash or credit card or use your employee assistance program (EAP) benefits if appropriate. Most insurance is accepted.
Wherever you are, we’re ready to listen
Talk to a licensed therapist online and get the help you’ve been seeking from the comfort of your home. Even if you’re on the go, telehealth sessions are available anywhere you are in your participating state.
Get started with a telehealth session:
If you already know that you would like a telehealth session, you can also go directly to our MinuteClinic E-Clinic website. Creating an online MyChart account is easy and quick. Once you are in, you can request an online mental health counseling session, and a provider will be in touch with you very soon.
What you need for telehealth care:
- Active medical insurance
- Webex meetings software on your computer or the Webex meetings app installed on your device
