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.

Thyroid Conditions We Can Treat Online

Galileo clinicians can evaluate and manage many thyroid conditions through virtual visits. After reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and lab results, your clinician can recommend testing, treatment, or follow-up care.

Common thyroid concerns we help manage include:

Hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Benign thyroid nodule monitoring
Thyroid hormone imbalances require medication
Follow-up care and medication management for existing thyroid diagnoses
Prescription refills and treatment adjustments

If your condition requires in-person specialist care or advanced imaging, your clinician can guide you on the next steps.

Thyroid Testing & Lab Orders

Diagnosing and managing thyroid conditions usually requires blood tests. During your visit, a Galileo clinician may order lab work to better understand how your thyroid is functioning.

‍

Common tests include:

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone): the main screening test for thyroid function

Medication management: If appropriate, clinicians may prescribe antidepressant medications after a thorough evaluation. These may include SSRIs or SNRIs, which help regulate brain chemicals involved in mood.

Combination care: Many patients benefit from both therapy and medication. Your clinician can help determine the approach that best supports your recovery.

Your clinician will review the results with you and explain what they mean for your health and treatment plan.

If a thyroid condition is confirmed, your clinician may prescribe medication to help regulate hormone levels.

Thyroid Medications We Can Prescribe Online

Levothyroxine (T4): The most common treatment for hypothyroidism. It replaces the hormone your thyroid no longer produces adequately.

Liothyronine (T3): Sometimes used alongside T4 therapy for certain patients.

Atypical antidepressants: Alternative options that may work differently in the brain

Your clinician will recommend the medication and dosage that best match your lab results and symptoms.
