There are several reasons why someone might choose online therapy:
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.
