Mental health professionals say telehealth will stay after coronavirus pandemic ends

Mental health professionals say social distancing has complicated therapy sessions, but it's not stopping them from working.
Liz Driscoll, an adolescent psychotherapist and the owner of Insight Counseling in Ridgefield, says she's been meeting clients of all ages for one-on-one and group sessions using Zoom and other web services.
She says the pandemic has caused an easing of restrictions that makes it easier for patients to work with their therapist on the phone or through video chat.
Driscoll says being socially distanced and home from work can exacerbate some people's struggles.
She predicts that after the crisis is over, telehealth visits for mental services aren't going anywhere.
Driscoll says she hopes that will make it easier for more people to find help in the future.
