How do I join an online session?

Joining online Upheal appointments

Written by Aviva Glassman

If your therapist is planning to hold your sessions with Upheal’s video calling platform, you’re in the right place. If you attend sessions in person, on Zoom, or on a different calling platform, you can skip this page. You’ll keep attending your sessions as usual.

You don’t need to create an account to use Upheal as a client. To join a session, just click the link your therapist sends you, or join from the Client Portal.

If you haven’t already agreed to Upheal’s Terms of Service, you might see a request to do so. If you’re curious about our policies, check out this page about agreements between Upheal and clients.

Joining from a link

To join an Upheal telehealth session from a link:

  1. Click on the link in your email.

  2. Depending on the type of link you’ve received, you might need to enter your email address. Then click Agree and continue to confirm you have read and understood Upheal's Terms of Service, are 16 years old or over, or have parental consent.

  3. Then, you’ll need to give Upheal permission to access your microphone and camera. Click Prepare access.

    Click Allow.

  4. Now, you’re in the waiting room for your session! Adjust your settings as needed, enter your name, and click Ask to join when you're ready.

Your session will begin when your therapist joins.
