Telehealth Therapy In Maryland

Telehealth therapy — also called online therapy, virtual therapy, or video counseling — is mental health care delivered through a secure video call instead of an in-person office visit. At August Rose Health Center, telehealth therapy sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant video platform accessible from your phone, tablet, or computer. Your session is the same length, uses the same evidence-based approaches, and is fully confidential — the only difference is that you join from wherever you are in Maryland instead of driving to our Glen Burnie office. No app download is required. Before your appointment you receive a secure link — just click it at your session time and your licensed therapist will be there.

Yes. Maryland Medicaid covers telehealth therapy services provided by licensed mental health professionals through HIPAA-compliant video platforms. August Rose Health Center accepts all Maryland HealthChoice Medicaid plans for telehealth therapy, online counseling, and virtual mental health services. There is no difference in coverage between in-person and telehealth therapy sessions for Maryland Medicaid recipients. Call 410-412-7791 and our intake team will verify your specific Medicaid plan at no cost before your first appointment.

Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth therapy produces outcomes equivalent to in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and most other mental health conditions. A landmark 2024 study published in Nature Mental Health analyzed over 27,500 patients receiving telehealth therapy and found it equally effective as in-person care — and faster to access for most patients. At August Rose Health Center, our licensed therapists use the same evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based therapy — whether sessions are held in person at our Glen Burnie office or via telehealth statewide.
