# Online therapy for Gainesville

University towns are full of people being told their situation is temporary. The feeling rarely agrees.

Telehealth, not an office

Campus and student services are often built around short courses of care, with a limit on how many sessions you get. That structure works for a rough semester. It works less well for something that was already there before you arrived.

Sessions here run 90 minutes and are not part of a package you have to ration. RRT is built to do its work in a small number of long conversations rather than a fixed course of short ones.

Alachua County also empties and refills every year, which makes it a hard place to feel settled. That is worth naming rather than treating as a personal failing.

Alachua County and the surrounding area by video: Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs. There is no physical office in Gainesville. Every session runs by secure video.

Sessions are online. This shows the area served, not an office location.
