What brings Concrete patients to this page
Most Concrete patients searching for online therapy are looking for something specific: a clear appointment process, realistic timing, and an explanation of what happens between request and confirmation. Patients in Concrete usually request a online therapy visit when scheduling around work, school, family, or shift timing matters.
What you may be noticing
Common questions in Concrete are usually practical — about timing, privacy, cost, and how to begin. If any of that feels familiar, you do not need to wait until the pattern hardens. A short summary of what is happening now, when it started, and what made it worse this week is enough to start the conversation with a therapist.
The goal of the first visit is not a label. The goal is a workable plan, framed around your routine, your privacy, and your timing.
Which AB Holistic services may fit
Based on what Concrete patients usually bring to the intake, the most likely match is one of these: therapy or online counseling for talk-based support; online psychiatry or medication management when symptoms point that way; ADHD support for attention or organization concerns; trauma or grief counseling when a specific event is shaping the picture; or couples and family counseling when relationship dynamics matter most.
The intake is built to ask enough that the recommendation is honest, not generic. If we are not the right fit, the team will say so.
Appointment availability in Washington
Most patients are seen within the hour. No waitlists. For Concrete patients, that usually means an online visit the same day you request it. The full sequence — request, brief intake, provider match, confirmation — typically completes within a few hours, not days.

Insurance and self-pay options
Self-pay and insurance options are available. If insurance verification stalls for any reason, the team will reach out before the appointment time rather than after. If you would rather pay directly, the team can quote session pricing before the first visit. Insurance and self-pay paths use the same intake form and the same provider pool.
From request to confirmation
After you submit, the next step is verification. For self-pay this is fast. For insurance, staff confirms eligibility, benefits, and any prior-auth requirements before locking in the visit. Once verification is complete, you receive a confirmation with the provider’s name, the visit time, and what to expect.
If verification surfaces a question — a missing card photo, a plan that needs prior authorization, an eligibility gap — the team reaches out before the appointment instead of after. Small clarifying messages early usually save a rescheduled appointment later.
Why this approach helps Concrete patients
AB Holistic was built for the in-between: people who do not need a crisis intervention but do not want generic advice either. A therapist who knows what to ask at the first visit can save weeks of trial-and-error. Online appointments available, self-pay and insurance options, and a team that confirms with a person — not a bot.
In Washington, that often means choosing a provider who can explain the next step in your own words, not in clinical shorthand — and being willing to revisit the plan when life shifts.
