Telehealth/Telemedicine Mental Health Services for Kentucky Medicaid Patients

COVID-19 has made receiving mental health services increasingly difficult for Kentuckians, especially for those with Medicaid insurance plans. Jeff Yocom, LCSW, is an experienced therapist—trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT and psychodynamic therapy—now providing treatment to Medicaid patients via telehealth/telemedicine.

Jeff is now accepting new teletherapy patients with the following Medicaid insurance plans.

  • Passport Health Plan
  • Aetna Better Health of Kentucky
  • Blue Care Family
  • Humana Choice Care Network
  • Wellcare of Kentucky

Clinical and Professional Background

Jeff provides individual therapy for adult clients dealing with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors and trauma. He is trained in several therapeutic models, all of which he offers via telehealth/telemedicine:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

Jeff’s approach to therapy:

“I work with individual needs, backgrounds and values to create a comfortable environment for growth and change. I particularly welcome clients who feel that previous treatment or recovery experiences gave them unwanted labels or methods that didn’t feel right.”

What Exactly is Teletherapy?

The terms telehealth and telemedicine both describe the delivery of healthcare services via real-time electronic communication.

Most telehealth services, including Jeff’s teletherapy practice, employ a secure, private video chat.

For the patient, teletherapy requires a high-speed Internet connection and a computer, tablet or phone with audio and visual capabilities.
