Online Therapy: A Modern Approach to Therapy

Online therapy offers many benefits.

Teletherapy sessions may be ideal if your home is too far from your preferred therapist’s office. Or if you prefer to be at home because of health concerns.

There could be a day when driving a car is unsafe due to certain weather conditions. Teletherapy gives you more options to continue therapy without interruption.

Typically, teletherapy sessions happen in real-time. Many people have said they feel more comfortable and can speak more openly and honestly during teletherapy sessions. Also, being in your familiar setting, surrounded by your personal belongings or even pets, can be of great comfort during therapy sessions.

Teletherapy typically involves video therapy sessions, which take place through secure technology platforms. Research conducted in the past few years (link to sources below) has shown that virtual therapy sessions, including modalities like EMDR therapy, are as effective as in-person therapy sessions.
