Shoreside Therapies offers secure online therapy for adults, couples, teens, and families across Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Colorado — including Milwaukee and the North Shore.

Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person?

Research consistently shows that online therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for a wide range of mental health concerns. Your therapist, your goals, and your treatment approach remain exactly the same - only the location changes.

How It Works at Shoreside

Shoreside uses a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for all remote sessions. No software to download. Join from any computer, tablet, or phone with a stable internet connection by clicking the unique link your therapist sends before your session.

Setting Up Your Space

Getting the most from your session starts with your environment. A few things that make a difference:

  • Choose a well-lit, private space where you won't be interrupted
  • Use headphones if possible for better audio and added privacy
  • Close background applications on your device before joining
  • A wired internet connection is more reliable than wifi if available

You will need the following to join an online therapy session with your provider:

  • A computer, tablet, or phone - no application or software download needed
  • An external or integrated webcam
  • An external or integrated microphone
  • An internet connection with a bandwidth of at least 10 MBPS - a wired Ethernet connection is recommended over wifi for the most stable experience
