Online Therapy: A flexible and beneficial form of therapy

Online therapy, also known as teletherapy, telehealth, or video therapy, has gained enormous backing and momentum. In March of 2020, when the world shut down and we relied even more heavily on technology for social connection, to do our jobs, and attend school, online therapy became the main way people accessed therapy and counseling services.

People were psychologically stressed, anxious, worried, depressed, isolated, there was so much uncertainty and new challenges that many of us have never faced before. While life has slowly returned to “normal,” there are many residual impacts of COVID, as socially many people were isolated, which brought about new mental health concerns for people from young children to our elders.

Online therapy advantages

Research indicates that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. There are many additional advantages and benefits to online therapy including, accessibility, flexibility, ease of scheduling, increased privacy, and increased comfort from attending appointments from your own space. The benefit of online therapy for people is that they are not confined to a geographic location to find a therapist, they do not need to drive to and from appointments, do not need to take time off of work to attend appointments, or attend therapy at the end of a long work or school day. Online therapy also allows people more flexibility for scheduling appointments and greater choice in providers.

Due to the ease of attending therapy appointments by video, clients tend to be more consistent attending their therapy appointments, as it reduces a number of barriers listed above with scheduling, driving to and from appointments, taking time off work or even due to weather conditions.

Many clients make progress in online counseling, improving their mental health, creating more balance between their work, social and personal life, and getting back to the things that are important to them.

How does online therapy work?

We use a secure HIPAA compliant video platform, that is confidential and easy to use. You can join therapy appointments from a smartphone, computer, or tablet.

In the first visit you will discuss what brings you to counseling, your desired outcomes and goals for treatment, and you and your therapist will discuss a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs. Visits are usually scheduled on a weekly basis to start, and people report generally starting to feel better in 8-12 appointments.
