How Telehealth Makes Therapy More Accessible in Montana

Montana’s wide-open landscapes are part of what makes it special. But they can also make healthcare difficult to access. Families may live hours from the nearest provider, and busy schedules make travel even harder. That’s why telehealth therapy is such a powerful option.

Why Telehealth Works

Telehealth connects families to therapists through secure video sessions. Instead of driving for hours, children and adults can log in from home. The convenience means fewer missed sessions and more consistent progress.

Benefits for Kids

Children often feel more comfortable practicing skills in familiar surroundings. A child who is shy in a clinic may be more talkative at home, making therapy more effective. Parents can also easily join in and learn strategies to use between sessions.

Benefits for Adults

For adults recovering from strokes or facing swallowing challenges, traveling for therapy can be exhausting. Telehealth reduces that burden, allowing therapy to happen from the comfort of home.

Same Quality, More Accessible

Some worry that virtual care isn’t as effective, but research shows telehealth therapy can be just as impactful as in-person sessions. The key is consistency—and telehealth makes that possible.

It’s not just therapy—it’s your transformation.

I (Sheridan) used to be that visionary business owner with all the balls in the air. I had my master's degree in speech therapy and created a six-figure consulting business in that field. But I didn’t stop there. I created another six-figure business as a health coach, and then one as a business coach for good measure. But the whole time I was trading time for money. I worked a zillion hours a week. Don’t believe me? I have five kids, and in addition to the work stuff, I was an available and committed mother to my children – doing the laundry, ferrying them to activities, and on and on... By outward measures, I looked successful, but on the inside, I was mentally and physically exhausted. I had hit a ceiling in my income and every incremental increase required more from me. I was in constant striving mode, trying to push myself to constantly do more. Until it all fell apart (even typing that makes me quake remembering). I had a major health crisis that caused me to pull the plug on 95% of my business. Almost everything came to a full stop. Which was the best gift I ever received. You see, working hard and learning more skills is not enough. Heart, vision and best intentions are not enough. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I didn’t know what I was doing even though it looked like I did.
