Being a Christian, doesn’t make us immune to the hardships, struggles, stressors, and deep pain that come with this life.

The past few years have come with a lot of added stress and pressure for so many people. There’s been overwhelming change, and grief, and loss.

All that pressure has a way of building up and eventually finding its way to the surface of our lives in the form of anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship conflict, marriage stress, problematic behaviors, and everything in between.

FAQ

Each online zoom session will last 50 minutes. Initial Sessions and Follow-Up Sessions are both 50 minutes. Please do not be late.

How do I book an online session?

Booking an online session is easy!

1. Find what counselor you would like to book a session with. Click the button “Book A Session” and wait patiently for the next page to load. Scroll down to the counselor’s booking section.

2. If this is your first session with this counselor, please book an initial session. If this is NOT your first time seeing this counselor, book a follow-up session!

3. Calendar View: From the calendar, select a date and time that works for you. The time is displayed in your time zone.

4. Completely fill out the form, including acknowledging that you have read and agreed to the “What You Need To Know Document” if this is your first session.

5. Complete your session booking by paying and completing checkout.

6. Check your email inbox. You will receive an email with the ZOOM link for your session. Please download zoom prior to your session. Test that both your audio and video are working.

Do you offer individual and couples sessions?

Yes, each counselor offers the option to book an individual or couples session with them. If you are looking to book a couples session please look for the word “COUPLES” in the session you are booking.

How much is each session?

Debra Fileta Counselors Network Rates: 
Initial Session and Follow-Up session costs for both an individual appointment or couples appointment are $175 paid in full at the time of booking your appointment.

We do have counselors that offer a session at a reduced rate of $80 per 50 minute session (individuals and couples). Please look for the designation of reduced rate next to a counselors name when booking a session.

No insurance is accepted.

Debra Fileta M.A., LPC  has separate rates. To see Debra’s rates for her session please visit her booking page.

Do you accept insurance?

No, the Debra Fileta Counselors Network does not accept insurance. Online sessions are a pay-for-service experience for which your insurance cannot be billed.

While the team consists of counselors who are licensed in their respective states, due to the limitations of online care and standards of practice, they are not functioning in the role of mental health practitioners or offering mental health psychotherapy in any capacity – as they are not diagnosing or treating psychopathology in any form. Rather, they are functioning in the capacity of consultants and coaches, offering advice and encouragement. Online sessions are a pay-for-service experience for which your insurance cannot be billed and for which you would likely not be reimbursed for. We do not complete any insurance reimbursement paperwork. We also do not accept FSA/HSA cards/funds for our sessions. 

Where do I get the zoom link for my booked session?

After you have successfully completed booking your session by completing payment you will receive TWO  emails to the email address you provided.

Email One: Look for the email sent from the “Debra Fileta Counselors Network” with the word “Confirmation” in the subject line. This is where you will find your zoom link!

Email Two: The second email will be your receipt with the subject line “Email Receipt of Purchase from Debra Fileta!” The zoom link is NOT in this email.

Please be patient for both emails to arrive in your inbox. If you do not see the emails in your spam folder or inbox after 3 hours of booking please email support@truelovedates.com

It is the client’s responsibility to double-check that all details are correct and that they have received their zoom link in one of their emails.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

CANCELLATIONS AND MISSED APPOINTMENTS
When an appointment is scheduled, that time is reserved for you. No refunds will be made for missed appointments or cancellations that are initiated by the client. In the event of technical difficulties either with a counselor’s connection or your connection, the session will be continued via phone at the number you provide in the intake form. Your session will proceed as scheduled for the duration of your allotted time; no refunds will be given for technological difficulties.

If you do need to cancel your appointment please send an email to support@debrafileta.com with the subject line “CANCEL.” Please provide your full name, counselor’s name, appointment date, and time.

RESCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS
Respect your confirmed session time. In an emergency,  kindly give 48 hours notice of any adjustments to appointment times by emailing support@debrafileta.com

In the email subject line write “RESCHEDULE” and include your full name, counselor’s name, session time, and date. Refunds will not be offered, and less than 48-hour notice will forfeit your session time or ability to schedule an alternate date and time.

In the very rare case, your counselor needs to reschedule an appointment you will receive an email from support@debrafileta.com notifying you of a session change and an opportunity to find a different date and time.

Book A Session

** Relational or personal sessions are different from counseling in that the focus is to facilitate personal and relational development, not to treat psychopathology. These one-on-one sessions are designed to uncover current problem spots and help you thrive in your personal and relational life. If at any time a counselor determines that these one-on-one sessions are not the right fit (e.g. there is evidence of psychopathology and the need for therapeutic support), they will help connect you to a licensed therapist within your state to offer the services you need, either in place of our work or in addition to our work. These one-on-one sessions are not intended to diagnose or treat mental illness or replace professional counseling services by a licensed individual within your state. Thanks for understanding, and we are looking forward to working with you!

“Debra is a true embodiment of Matthew 5:14: a light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. Sessions are a great gift to anyone seeking wisdom complete with necessary steps. Debra wholeheartedly enters your world, walks with you through your situation, and equips you with how to proceed forward beautifully. Everyone in the world needs a session because, at some point in our lives, we need truth-filled guidance.

Today, she brightened my day and strengthened places in my life that needed it. It’s glorious to be able to share with friends my newfound knowledge so we all learn. I would love this for everyone. Will cherish this talk always! “
