Contact thea

All services are provided via tele-health.  This enables me to work with clients across the state.  

Exploring relationship and communication challenges is personal business.  Your confidentiality is protected from my end by the use of a HIPAA compliant video portal.  I use a headset to reduce the possibility of someone overhearing what you are saying and situate myself so that no one else can see the screen.  The bigger concern is the confidentiality at your end:  where can you freely talk about personal, family, and work issues without being overheard?  Where will you have the optimum physical comfort?  I observe that quite a few of my clients go out to their car for privacy.  Not the most comfortable in my book, but whatever works for you is fine with me, except that I do not conduct sessions while the client is driving!

You can schedule an appointment by going to my public calendar at www.theavondraceklmft.com, or through the Contact Me section of this website.  You can also call me at 336-338-2011 or email me at theavondraceklmft@outlook.com. Typically, I am available for services from 12:00 to 8:00 p.m. EST Monday and Tuesday; 9:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. 

The major issue is technology.  The internet service speed and strength can impact the electronic connection.  Internet services can  be disrupted from time to time and are generally outside the control of either of us.  If you use your phone for the session, incoming calls and texts can interfere with our process, so the use of a computer, laptop, or tablet is recommended.

The morning or our appointment I will send an email with a link for the meeting.  All you have to do is open your email and click the link at the appointed time and voila, there I will be. Be sure to allow the use of your camera and microphone prior to our meeting time to avoid delays in our process.   If you are unable to connect for any reason, the meeting can be conducted over the phone.
