Jamie Mayo-Buttry’s Favorite Parts of Telehealth

By Respark | December 21, 2020

Jamie Mayo-Buttry, one of our brilliant Texas therapists, recently discussed her favorite parts about meeting with clients online during the global pandemic.

Jamie has found telehealth to be a surprisingly awesome experience. Since therapists are not social workers, we typically do not get to see how people live. We only hear about it. There is something to be said for seeing into a person’s personal space, as a person’s home can be a reflection of who they are.

“Online therapy stands as a testament to the perseverance and evolution of psychotherapy. This field has always had to adapt, improve, and grow to reflect the societal concerns and attitudes of the times. In the face of the unknown, we as clinicians have had to pivot and become skilled in performing therapy once restricted to a particular time or place.

Witnessing the resilience of clients as they step up to unique challenges and take on responsibility for their care is inspiring. I am full of gratitude as we reach out to connect with one another from afar. Not only have we learned to survive, but more importantly thrive, in this new normal. This seemingly simple task is in fact, nothing less than a monumental accomplishment. Acknowledging this truth is certainly my favorite part of participating in the online therapeutic process.”
