Choosing the Right Type of Therapy for You

When it comes to mental health therapy, California residents have the choice between traditional in-person sessions and modern virtual (teletherapy) sessions. At CEREVITY, we’re committed to helping you understand these options and how your Aetna insurance coverage can make either choice affordable and effective.

Understanding Teletherapy

Teletherapy involves therapy sessions conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. It’s ideal for individuals seeking flexibility, convenience, and privacy.

Benefits of Teletherapy:

  • No commuting or traffic hassles
  • Sessions from a comfortable, private location of your choice
  • Flexible appointment scheduling
  • Access to specialized therapists statewide
  • Covered by Aetna insurance

Understanding In-Person Therapy

In-person therapy involves meeting your therapist face-to-face in a physical office. It is traditionally preferred by those who feel more connected through physical presence and direct interaction.

Benefits of In-Person Therapy:

  • Direct, face-to-face interaction
  • Clear communication and physical presence
  • A structured environment away from home distractions

Which Option is Right for You?

Both teletherapy and in-person therapy are effective in addressing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and burnout. Choosing between the two often depends on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and convenience factors.

Aetna Coverage for Teletherapy and In-Person Therapy

Aetna insurance typically covers both teletherapy and in-person sessions. Choosing an in-network provider like CEREVITY helps you utilize your benefits fully, reducing out-of-pocket expenses significantly.
