Are virtual stress treatments as effective as in-person visits?

Virtual care can be effective for many people experiencing mild to moderate stress or anxiety. Clinicians evaluate your symptoms and recommend strategies or treatments based on your needs. If symptoms are severe or concerning, in-person care may be recommended.

Can I get medication for stress or anxiety through a virtual visit?

Clinicians can discuss medication options during a phone or video visit and may send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy when appropriate. Medication decisions depend on your symptoms, history, and overall health.

Can I get virtual stress treatment if I do not have insurance?

Yes. If your plan does not cover Galileo, you can still access care through clear, self-pay pricing that appears before each visit.

What types of stress or anxiety can Galileo help with online?

Galileo clinicians support everyday stress, generalized anxiety, trouble sleeping, burnout, and physical symptoms related to stress. They can guide you with coping tools, lifestyle adjustments, and treatment options when appropriate.

When is in-person or emergency care better than virtual stress treatment?

If you are experiencing severe anxiety, thoughts of self-harm, inability to function, or signs of a mental health crisis, immediate in-person or emergency care is the safest option.

How does virtual stress treatment fit into a busy work schedule?

Galileo is available 24/7 through the app, so you can start a phone or video visit whenever it works for you. Whether your schedule is packed or unpredictable, you can check in, get guidance, and follow up at times that fit your day, without rearranging it.
