Here are some phrases that might illustrate what counseling is and how it works:
You will have access to my schedule and be able to book appointments that fit your schedule.
In person ... or ... online.
Virtual sessions are done through my patient portal (HIPAA-compliant electronic medical records service)
A link will bring you into our session.
Blue Cross Blue Shield & Anthem
(Exptions: state employees plan or plans that are exclusively Atrium-Local or Novant-Value.)
Other Insurance Companies
You can request reimbursement for
"out-of-network" services.
Check benefits, deductibles, copay with your insurer.

Finally, after decades of hearing tons of very personal & extremely private information, I realized people were not simply sharing their stories with me. They wanted me to help make sense of it all.

I have no idea if I'm the guy for you.
I am confident you can figure that out.
