Online Therapy in Las Vegas

Throughout Las Vegas, a significant portion of adults are experiencing challenges with poor mental health and substance use disorders. These numbers have been on the rise, and as Las Vegas has faced significant challenges with a shortage of providers, high out-of-pocket costs even with insurance, and other access challenges, many people are not getting the help they need.

Problems with Mental Health in Las Vegas

Over 10 percent of adults over the age of 12 admit to having a substance use disorder in the last year in Las Vegas, with around 8 percent reporting major depressive episodes during that same time. 

Nevada has some of the highest suicide rates across the country, in large part because a significant percentage of youth experience helplessness and anxiety, while a significant percentage of adults experience major depression and substance use disorders.

Of those, many are failing to get the help they need, unable to find a therapist in Las Vegas because of low access to care and significant costs. While the government has deployed mobile crisis teams to provide better support, especially to youth, Las Vegas residents still find it difficult to get treatment when they need it.

With Skycloud, our outpatient services make it easier for people to start a program around other responsibilities like work, school, or family, and our virtual outpatient program means you can get care no matter where you are. 

What is Online Therapy?

Our online therapy helps connect you to our licensed psychiatrists and therapists in Nevada to provide one-on-one or group-based sessions, typically using video conferencing or video calls. These sessions provide a convenient way to access mental health treatment where you can work toward your personal goals, build a relationship with other people who are struggling, and, in a similar fashion, learn healthy coping mechanisms.

What to Expect with Online Therapy Las Vegas

When you reach out to Skycloud for online therapy in Las Vegas, you will go through an initial assessment so that our care team can customize your treatment plan, including the right combination of therapies and the length of your program.

From there, you will connect with a therapist or psychiatrist through our respective platforms, set up your session times, and receive instructions on how the secure platform works.

When it comes time for your sessions, you can choose between video sessions, where you have that visual connection, for individual or group sessions, as well as audio sessions, where you do a phone call if that’s preferred, or even messaging options, where your psychiatrist can provide you with things like resources and worksheets via messaging.

Our online platforms are designed to ensure secure connections, confidentiality, and privacy.

Benefits of Online Therapy Las Vegas

If you live in Las Vegas, you might struggle to find the type of care you need, including the right therapies or the right form of medication access. Some people struggle with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and need a treatment center or therapist that can handle both.

With Skycloud’s online therapy in Las Vegas, you can reap many benefits no matter your circumstance if you participate in our virtual outpatient programs.

Anonymity

It is difficult to accept that you are struggling and even more difficult if you are worried about how other people might perceive you or judge you should you choose to acknowledge that struggle and get help.

A virtual setting can often make people feel more comfortable because they have control over their environment, so they are more likely to share their thoughts and feelings openly and more likely to complete their program. 

Convenience

With a lack of available providers throughout the area, residents in Las Vegas can schedule therapy sessions at a convenient time and in a convenient location. This makes it less likely that scheduling conflicts will inhibit your ability to get proper treatment and help reduce travel time. 

Affordability

For clients for whom cost is a deciding factor in proper care, being able to reduce travel time can make therapy much more affordable. With online platforms, you don’t have to pay for travel time to and from a therapist’s office, nor do you have to cut out of work as early at the risk of losing income. Moreover, online options are often more affordable and slightly more covered by different insurance providers.

Accessibility

Our outpatient programs are significantly more accessible, providing outpatient psychiatry and psychotherapy options in addition to our flexible substance use disorder treatment. With any of these outpatient programs, you have access to a psychiatrist or therapist as well as medication that can be mailed to a nearby pharmacy.

Online options make it easier for people throughout Las Vegas to access the care they need, even if they are struggling with mobility limitations, transportation limitations, or financial limitations; some insurance providers even cover the entire cost of virtual sessions compared to in-person sessions.
