What is Telehealth Therapy?
Telehealth therapy, also known as online therapy, virtual therapy, or teletherapy, is a form of mental health counseling conducted remotely through secure video conferencing technology. At Empathos Pathway, we provide comprehensive telehealth therapy services to adults throughout New York State, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida, allowing you to access professional mental health support without leaving your home.
As a New York-licensed therapist, Karen Veintimilla, LMHC-D and LPC, offers the same high-quality, evidence-based therapy you would receive in a traditional office setting—but with the added convenience, flexibility, and accessibility that online therapy provides. Whether you're in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, or anywhere else in New York, as well as New Jersey, Connecticut & Florida, you can access compassionate, professional mental health care.
Our telehealth therapy services are fully HIPAA-compliant, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality are protected at all times. We use secure, encrypted video platforms designed specifically for healthcare to provide you with a safe therapeutic space.
