What Solo Therapists Actually Need
Frequently asked questions
Is VSee really free for solo therapists?
Yes. VSee offers $0/mo for your first 3 months with no credit card required. The promotional offer ends June 30, 2026. After that, affordable paid plans are available with full access to all features.
Is VSee HIPAA compliant?
Yes. VSee is HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 certified, and uses 256-bit AES encryption. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is included with every account at no additional cost.
How is VSee different from Doxy.me?
VSee includes AI-powered SOAP notes, scheduling with SMS appointment reminders, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 standardized forms, and per-session clinical documentation — none of which Doxy.me includes. Doxy.me charges $42/mo and still has no AI notes at any price point.
Does VSee generate AI session notes automatically?
Yes. VSee generates AI-powered SOAP notes in under 1 minute while you talk with your patient. Notes are editable, signable, and stored in the patient record. This is the most-used feature among VSee therapists and is not available on Doxy.me.
Can I use VSee for group therapy sessions?
Yes. VSee supports group therapy sessions with up to 30 participants, included in the free plan. No additional setup or paid upgrade is required.
How long does it take to set up VSee?
Approximately 5 minutes. Sign up with Google or email, complete your clinic profile, and share your branded waiting room link with patients. Patients join in one click with no download required.
Does VSee support PHQ-9 and GAD-7 screening forms?
Yes. PHQ-9 and GAD-7 standardized screening forms are built into the platform. Doxy.me only offers a basic intake form. Results are stored in the patient record and visible to the provider immediately.
Do my patients need to download anything?
No. Patients join your VSee waiting room directly from any browser — desktop, tablet, or mobile — with one click. No app download or account creation required on their end.
