My new T has a software that each client has a sign on for. It has billing, session appointments, email and a spot for Journaling that you can keep private or share with him. It is wonderful way to take down notes of how you are feeling between sessions or things that have happened between sessions so that he can read them and be ready to discuss for your session. I wrote a journal note jotting down how I felt after the first real start of listing all the trauma and giving them a title. He emailed me that he received it and that my self awareness will be helpful and to keep communicating.

Anyone else's T have that?

My T has an online portal for paperwork, seeing upcoming appointments, and maybe billing. I think it is also the thing that sends automatic email appointment reminders. That journal feature sounds neat, though!

Nope. My t's pretty low tech. Although she does text/email. She doesn't have a website, just a psych today profile.

My T has something but we haven't used it since she set it up. I should go see if it has a journal section. Since I have standing appointments we haven't used it for scheduling.

He also said:

"Let me know if we need to schedule an in between session, I do have the ability to do tele-counseling, which insurance will pay for. Keep up the communication and try and get some rest. Any dreams that come up send my way, I won't respond but we can focus on dreams in session to help with them."

How cool is that? I never had a therapist who said they would do an in between session online. I do not feel I need one but good to know.

A lot of organizations in my country do blended treatment: partly face to face, partly through an internet portal. I think the portal from my organization has communication, exercises, work sheets, journal and mood tracker or something.

I have never done blended, not sure if I'd want to, but it's good the option is there.
