Counseling Services Adapt Through Teletherapy

Providing counseling services in Isabella County has required a shift in format during the COVID-19 pandemic to serve the need in the community. Christian Counseling of Mid Michigan (CCMM) has responded by extending services to many low-income, homeless, and poverty-level clients through the use of telehealth therapy sessions.

Thanks to a grant from the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation, CCMM provided 62 telehealth sessions that were not covered by the client’s insurance due to video conferencing reimbursement limitations. These sessions between March and June 2020 serviced individuals, couples, and children throughout Isabella County.

Providing counseling services via phone calls in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic has given many clients a sense of normalcy and allowed them to progress in their sessions within the safety and comfort of their own homes.

Moving forward, Christian Counseling of Mid Michigan will be able to continue serving clients in the community through either telehealth methods or traditional in-person sessions.
