## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Two things get called "telehealth platform" for therapists, so here's both - software you run your own practice on, and networks that bring you clients.
> 
> ## If you want an all-in-one EHR with video built in (most common need)
> 
> **1. SimplePractice** - my default recommendation for solo private practice. Telehealth is built in (no third-party tool), plus intake forms, scheduling, insurance claims/superbills, card processing, and the best mobile apps in the category. Also comes with practice-growth extras: a website builder and the Monarch client directory. ~$49-$99/mo depending on tier. The polish is what you're paying for.

> 
> **2. TherapyNotes** - better value than SimplePractice for most solo and small practices, and the one I'd pick if documentation and billing matter more than aesthetics. ~$69/mo for a solo clinician with basic telehealth (SD video, 2 participants, waiting room, guest access, chat) and 24/7 phone support included. Premium telehealth - HD, screen share, captions, up to 16 participants for group/family work - is +$
