Easy Access to Support—No Travel Needed
You don’t need to leave home to get the care you’re looking for. Our secure tele-therapy sessions bring speech-language therapy and mental health counseling right to your screen. At Staten Island Speech & Counseling, we work with children, teens, and adults across New York who want flexible care options that still feel personal and focused.
Whether you're balancing a busy workday, handling childcare, attending college, or managing a health concern, remote care offers a way forward. You can log in from a private room, your desk during a break, or even from another part of the state if you're living outside of Staten Island.
How to Get Started with Tele-Therapy
We’ve made starting tele-therapy simple. You’ll feel supported right away. Here’s how the setup works:
Step 1: Send us a message through our contact form or give us a call.
Step 2: Tell us a few details like who the session is for, your goals, and what your schedule looks like.
Step 3: Let us know you’re interested in virtual sessions.
Step 4: We’ll send you an appointment time, a link to join, and tips to get ready.
Step 5: At the time of your session, click the link and join from your device.
You won’t go through this alone. One of our team members will walk you through any questions before your session begins.
Your Privacy Matters
We use secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms for every session. That means your appointment link is just for you, and your info stays protected.
Â
You won’t have to download anything. Just click your session link using your browser from a phone, tablet, or computer. As long as your device has a camera and a microphone, you’re ready to go.

All of our licensed therapists and speech-language pathologists conduct remote sessions using tools that meet privacy standards. You can expect the same attention and structure you’d get in person.
What You’ll Need to Join a Session
Getting set up for tele-therapy is easy. You’ll need:
– A phone, tablet, or computer with internet, a camera, and a mic
– A steady internet connection
– A quiet place where you won’t be disturbed
– Your appointment link
Before the first session, we recommend checking your camera and sound. If something doesn’t work, we’re here to fix it fast.
If the session is for a child, place the device on a steady surface. A desk or table works well, especially if the session includes interactive speech or reading activities.
What You Can Work On Through Telehealth
Our remote sessions cover the same supports we offer in our Staten Island office. That includes:
– Counseling for adults and teens
– Therapy sessions for individuals, couples, or families
– Treatment for stress, anxiety, life changes, or school issues
– Speech and language therapy for toddlers, children, teens, and adults
– Help with stuttering, language delays, and articulation issues
– Reading support for children with literacy challenges
We use goal-based plans and regular check-ins, all through your device. Sessions stay focused, just like they would in person, and move at a pace that fits your comfort and needs.
Support Across New York
We’re based in Staten Island, but tele-therapy allows us to meet with individuals and families across New York State. If you live in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Long Island, or upstate, virtual sessions may be the easiest way to connect with us.
Tele-therapy works well for commuters, college students, parents at home, and anyone who finds it hard to travel to appointments. Whether you live nearby or hours away, care comes to your screen, not the other way around.
How to Get the Most Out of Remote Sessions
A few small changes can help you make your virtual sessions effective:
– Join a few minutes early
– Keep your device plugged in or fully charged
– Turn off other apps and silence notifications
– Have any needed materials nearby
– If it’s a child’s session, help them stay close to their screen and ready to engage
Stick with a regular session time so therapy becomes part of your weekly routine. Treat appointments with the same focus you would if you were walking into an office.
If part of the virtual process ever feels off, let us know. Your therapist can adjust the session setup to keep things moving forward.
Flexible Care That Fits Your Schedule
Having access to talk from anywhere can make life easier. Whether you're dealing with speech concerns, handling big life shifts, or looking for reading help for your child, virtual sessions help you keep that support going without stepping outside the door.
At Staten Island Speech & Counseling, we know how full your days can be. Our tele-therapy options are built to fit real schedules like yours—flexible, focused, and centered on what matters most.
