Online Therapy Services

---

There are several reasons why someone might choose online therapy:

• Comfort: Online treatment enables you to get counseling from the comfort of your own home, without having to go to a therapist's office. This might be particularly useful for those with hectic schedules, mobility challenges, or who reside in remote areas.
• Flexibility: Online therapy sessions can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you, which can be especially helpful if you have a busy schedule or live in a remote area.
• Accessibility: Online therapy can make therapy more accessible for people who have mobility issues, transportation difficulties, or who live in areas with a shortage of therapists.
• Confidentiality: Some people may prefer to discuss intimate matters online rather than in-person.
• Anonymity. When people are not physically present with a therapist, they may feel less self-conscious and more willing to open up and share intimate details of their lives.

Research has shown that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. This has been studied in many research studies comparing the two over the last twenty years. The issue is no longer which is better but rather which is a better fit for the client. In addition to the convenience of not having to leave home, commute, see someone during your lunch hour at work, etc., online therapy is often attractive due to the increased “physical space” that being on screen or the anonymity over the phone. This space allows people to open up more quickly and delve deeper into personal concerns and more easily bypass the stigma of being in therapy than in-person therapy involves. Many clients prefer starting online because it’s easier psychologically to start than showing up at an office to talk to a stranger.
