Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why start with ClicktoTherapy?
Problems that occur in everyday life can build into more acute challenges that exhaust our mental and physical energy, leading to feelings of weakness, anger, or tiredness and making it difficult to cope. In this case, seeking help is the best and most effective solution to choose.
But where, and how, can we find a practitioner we can trust? Relying on advice from friends and family may work, but sometimes we prefer to keep things private. And even with recommendations, providers may have long waiting lists or be too far away to be accessible. This can lead to disappointment and delayed treatment.
ClicktoTherapy provides immediate, reliable and effective access to professional help, with a personal psychologist that is matched to your criteria. There is no charge for the first session, so you can decide if your therapist is a good fit. If not, you can request a change, and meet with a different provider.
How do I prepare for the first session?
Make an appointment with your psychologist for your first session. Don’t be alarmed if you feel anxious - many people report a sense of embarrassment or even shame as they begin treatment. This is perfectly normal; you’re about to share your deep personal concerns with a therapist you have yet to know.
No matter how you feel, your psychologist will help you proceed with safety and confidence during the session. Remember they are there to support and assist you. Try to relax and focus on the reasons you are seeking treatment, so that you can freely express your thoughts to your psychologist. Why have you decided to start therapy? What do you expect to gain from the process? How might your quality of life improve if you can work through the challenges you are facing now?

The sessions are done exclusively via video, in order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of your therapy. Professional psychologists and researchers agree that video-based sessions are an effective method, and can be equivalent to in-person visits with a therapist.

Once you complete the registration, you’ll be connected with your psychologist within a few hours. You can then contact them in writing, as well as schedule your first free session.
Can I cancel or change my session time?
Yes, cancellations or changes are accepted up to 24 hours prior to the start of your session. To make a change, you can contact your psychologist via chat, or through the platform by selecting “change appointment”.
Can I Change my Psychologist?
If you want to change your psychologist for any reason, please email us at info@clicktotherapy.com indicating the reason for the change. We would like to know if your original request has changed, and what additional criteria you would like us to include during the change process. We will connect you with a new one, taking into account the reason you express to us for your desire for change. *Note: Available sessions are not transferred between from psychologist to psychologist during the change process.
Can I apply for a refund if I change my mind?
Yes! Refunds are made prior to the start of your package sessions. For example, if you purchase a package of four treatments, but change your mind before you begin the first session, you are eligible for a full refund. We offer several ways to purchase sessions, so you are not locked in to a long contract unless you’re certain you want that option.
