Kinds of sessions

Video interpreters for mental health counseling, from intake to individual and family sessions

Counseling by video runs from a first intake to regular therapy. The notes you add to the booking reach the interpreter before the session, so include the therapist's name and the kind of session.

Intake sessions

The first session is where the therapist takes the client's history. Everything the therapist asks about family, health and the reason for the visit is interpreted in full, and so is everything the client says.

Individual therapy

The client and the therapist talk one on one, often on a regular schedule. The interpreter says the client's words in the first person, including feelings, without softening or shortening them.

Family sessions

Parents, a spouse or other relatives join the same call as the client. Each speaker pauses so the interpreter can interpret for everyone who speaks the other language.

Follow-up sessions

Teletherapy follow-ups are shorter than a regular session, and the therapist sets the length. Book that time, and add any new names or terms to the notes before the call.

Therapy by video

What to know about video counseling with an interpreter

When video is used

Counseling is held by video when the client lives far from the therapist's office, cannot travel, or speaks a language with no interpreter nearby. The therapist or the practice sets up the session on its own platform, and the interpreter joins as a guest from anywhere in the US. Family members join the same call, so a parent or a spouse can take part from another home.

Who takes part

The therapist opens the session on the practice's platform, leads the conversation and decides how the time is used. The client talks about their situation and how they feel. In a family session, a spouse, a parent or an adult child speaks too, from the same screen or from another one. The interpreter joins as a guest and interprets for both sides.

TherapistInterpreterClient

The interpreter's role

On video, the interpreter lets the therapist and the client follow each other as easily as they would in one language. What the therapist says reaches the client in the client's language, and what the client says reaches the therapist in English, in the first person and in full. Painful words are not softened or shortened, and relatives are treated the same way. The interpreter takes no side, keeps the session confidential, and adds no advice or opinions.

The same interpreter each week

Therapy runs over many weeks, so it helps when the same interpreter follows the work from one session to the next. Book each session separately, ask for the same interpreter, and we assign them when they are available. Each turn is interpreted before the next person speaks, whether the speaker is the client, the therapist or a relative in a family session.

On-site, video or phone

Choosing between video, on-site and phone for counseling

Video keeps the interpreter in the session without a trip. The other two settings suit sessions with a different need.

On-site
Book an interpreter in the office for sessions where the client and the therapist sit together, such as a family session in one room.
On-Site Interpretation for Mental Health Counseling
Video (VRI)
Video fits regular therapy when the client and the therapist are in different places, or when no interpreter for the language works nearby.
Phone (OPI)
Phone fits a brief check-in, or a client who has no camera or steady connection for video.

FAQ

Questions about video interpreters for counseling

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Can the interpreter join our telehealth platform?

Yes. The interpreter joins your session link as a guest. If your platform cannot add a guest, we create a Texliff room link, which opens in the browser, and add it to your project.

02Can a family member interpret instead?

Family members, and children in particular, should not interpret in therapy. Clinics that receive federal funds are expected to bring in a qualified interpreter, and should not rely on a client's minor child except in an emergency.

03Is the session kept private?

An NDA applies to every session, and the video connection is encrypted. Clinical sessions follow HIPAA, a BAA is available for healthcare customers, and nothing is recorded unless you ask.

04How is a video counseling session priced?

Video sessions cost the hourly rate for the hours you book, and the total shows before you pay. Book the full length of the session, because the interpreter is reserved for the whole booking and unused time is not refunded.

05Can one interpreter work with two family members who speak different languages?

No. A booking is for English and one other language. A second language needs its own booking, and it can use the same session link.

06Which languages can I book for video counseling?

70 languages. Spanish, Russian, Korean, Haitian Creole and Tagalog are among the easiest to schedule, and rarer languages need more notice.

07Are your Pashto interpreters certified?

Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Pashto interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.

08Do you cover all Pashto dialects?

Pashto has distinct Northern (Yusufzai, used in KP and around Peshawar) and Southern (Kandahari) dialects. We match dialect to the speaker, especially in formal proceedings.
