How to Use Telehealth and In-Person Sessions Together

The Hybrid Practice Model

The pandemic accelerated telehealth adoption dramatically. Now that in-person therapy has resumed, many practitioners — and clients — prefer a hybrid approach: some sessions via video, some in person. This model offers genuine benefits for both parties, and on-demand office space makes it particularly viable.

Benefits of a Hybrid Approach

For Clients

• Flexibility to meet during work-from-home days
• Reduced transportation burden for clients with mobility challenges
• Option to meet in person during critical therapeutic moments

For Therapists

• Reduced office costs — only book space for in-person days
• Geographic flexibility to serve clients across a wider area
• Work-life balance benefits of remote work

Setting Up Your Hybrid Practice

With Khospace, a hybrid model is financially elegant. You only pay for office time when you're actually seeing clients in person. If you see 10 clients in person per week, you book 10 hours of office space. Your telehealth days cost nothing in overhead.

Members typically book consistent recurring time slots for their in-person days, ensuring their preferred room is always available.

Clinical Considerations

Some presenting concerns are better addressed in person. Trauma work, group therapy, somatic approaches, and new client intakes often benefit from face-to-face contact. A thoughtful hybrid practice considers client needs, not just logistics, when deciding session modality.
