Does steveseay.com Offer Remote or Online Therapy, and Who Is Eligible?
Updated
Yes. steveseay.com, the site of a South Florida psychologist (Palm Beach/Fort Lauderdale/Miami), states that phone-based and online-based therapy are available as alternatives to traditional office visits. According to the site, prospective patients located in Florida, Missouri, and some international destinations may be eligible for these remote options. The site also notes that in-office treatment is considered ideal in most cases, so remote care is presented as an alternative for people who cannot access a local anxiety specialist rather than as the default.
What the Site Says About Remote Treatment
The site's "Remote Treatment Options" section explains the rationale directly: not everyone has access to a local anxiety specialist, and technology provides a variety of alternatives to in-person visits. The two formats named are:
- Phone-based therapy
- Online-based therapy
No further detail is given on the specific platform, session length, or technical requirements for either format.
Who May Be Eligible
Eligibility is described in geographic terms:
| Location | Remote therapy eligibility per the site |
|---|---|
| Florida | May be eligible |
| Missouri | May be eligible |
| Some international destinations | May be eligible |
| Elsewhere | Not addressed on the site |
The wording is "may be eligible," so location is a starting condition rather than a guarantee. The site does not list other eligibility criteria (such as age, diagnosis, or insurance) for remote care.
In-Office vs. Remote: How the Site Frames the Choice
The site is explicit that in-office treatment is ideal in most cases. That framing suggests remote care is intended for people for whom attending a South Florida office is impractical — for example, someone living in Missouri or abroad who wants to work with this particular specialist on anxiety, OCD, or a related condition.
If you are local to Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami, the site's own guidance points toward in-office care first. If you are outside those areas but in Florida, Missouri, or certain international locations, remote therapy is the described path.
What the Practice Treats
Remote options are presented alongside the practice's broader services, which the site describes as treatment for:
- OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), including Pure-O OCD, using exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy
- Anxiety and panic
- Perfectionism, agoraphobia, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)
- School-related anxiety in children and teens
The practice also describes an intensive outpatient treatment program for anxiety that is evidence-based and time-limited, with separate tracks for adults, teens, and children, plus free monthly support groups for adults, teens, and kids with OCD.
How to Confirm Your Eligibility
The site does not publish a booking form, fee schedule, or a definitive list of accepted international locations. To determine whether you qualify:
- Note your physical location during treatment — this is the factor the site ties eligibility to.
- Check whether you are in Florida, Missouri, or an international destination the practice serves.
- Contact the practice through the site to confirm eligibility and whether phone or online format applies to your situation.
If you are outside the listed locations, the site offers no indication of eligibility, so direct contact is the only way to get a definite answer.
