Advanced telepsychiatry represents the next evolution in behavioral health delivery—leveraging secure, real-time video platforms, integrated EHR systems, on-demand access, medication management, multidisciplinary teams, and specialized expertise to provide timely, high-quality psychiatric care regardless of location. FasPsych, a leading telepsychiatry provider since 2007, excels in this model by maintaining a vast nationwide network of board-certified and licensed specialists combined with flexible staffing solutions. This combination addresses chronic provider shortages, serves diverse populations and settings (hospitals, clinics, correctional facilities, rural health centers, CCBHCs, and more), and delivers approximately 15,000 visits monthly while ensuring continuity of care, HIPAA compliance, and state-specific licensing.
FasPsych’s Diverse Network of Specialists: The Foundation of Advanced Telepsychiatry
FasPsych’s strength in advanced telepsychiatry stems from its broad roster of over 100 psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, plus 400+ total providers including therapists and counselors. This variety enables full-spectrum care—from acute crisis intervention and medication management to psychotherapy, case management, and long-term treatment planning—tailored to patients of all ages and conditions (anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, PTSD, substance use disorders, and more).
Key provider types and their contributions include:
Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatrists (MD/DO): Board-certified or eligible specialists conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, differential diagnoses, develop personalized treatment plans, prescribe and monitor psychotropic medications (including e-prescribing and DEA-registered), and provide evidence-based psychotherapy or follow-ups. Child and adolescent experts address developmental issues like ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and family dynamics using age-appropriate approaches such as CBT and family therapy.
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs/PNPs) and Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialists: These advanced practice providers diagnose conditions, deliver therapy and counseling, prescribe medications (with collaborative agreements where required), perform crisis intervention, case management, and support ongoing monitoring. They are particularly valuable for scalable coverage and NP collaboration models in facilities with physician oversight needs.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), Licensed Psychologists, and Licensed Substance Abuse Counselors: These non-prescribing specialists focus on evidence-based psychotherapy (individual, group, couples/family), behavioral assessments, psychological testing, addiction recovery support (including relapse prevention and MAT coordination), case management, and community resource connections. They integrate seamlessly for holistic care addressing psychosocial stressors alongside medical treatment.
Additional specialties include bilingual providers (Spanish most commonly available, with others on request) for culturally competent care and dual-licensed physicians (medicine + psychiatry) for integrated medical-mental health rounding. All providers undergo rigorous vetting: primary source verification of licenses/DEA/board certifications, background checks, malpractice review, insurance confirmation, and telehealth/HIPAA training.
This multidisciplinary lineup allows advanced telepsychiatry to go beyond basic consultations, offering coordinated, patient-centered plans that improve outcomes, reduce readmissions, and support complex cases across acuity levels.
Flexible Staffing Models: Scaling Advanced Telepsychiatry Efficiently
FasPsych’s staffing flexibility amplifies the impact of its specialists, enabling organizations to overcome shortages without lengthy hiring processes, high fixed costs, or geographic limitations. Models include:
On-demand/PRN, locum tenens, part-time/full-time, day/night shifts, or long-term dedicated providers — Pay-per-visit, per-hour, or per-day billing (only for time worked) ensures cost-effectiveness.
Specific services supported: Psychiatric consultations (routine/emergent via video/phone), virtual rounding for inpatient monitoring and plan adjustments, remote Medical Director oversight for protocols/compliance, NP collaboration/supervision, 24/7 crisis coverage, medication management, and integrated EHR documentation.
This scalability supports fluctuating demands (e.g., after-hours ER coverage, seasonal surges, or rural gaps), rapid onboarding, and seamless workflow integration without disrupting existing teams. Facilities gain access to vetted experts licensed in their state, reducing wait times and expanding service lines.
