What are the benefits of online counseling and psychotherapy?

Online counseling and psychotherapy are some of the advantages we can freely access in our modern age. Although in-person treatments are still being conducted, telehealth therapy is a stress-free, secure, convenient and effective method option has been able to help numerous individuals have their therapy sessions by just using their personal devices.

Counseling anywhere and anytime

One of the many reasons why telehealth has been increasing in popularity is because of its convenience. After all, it can be tiring to set aside ample time to prepare for a therapy session and commute when you can book an appointment for virtual help wherever you are. Although your sessions will still depend on your therapist’s availability, it is still helpful to have the option to schedule at your best time.

Therapy at the place where you are most comfortable in

For a number of individuals, it can be challenging and difficult to relay their emotions when they are not at ease in their environment. Many clients often find themselves being able to talk more when they are in a place that is familiar to them. With virtual therapy, you can do it in a spot in your home where you are cozy and where you feel safe. It can also be a coffee shop or a park, as long as it feels right for you.

If you already have a therapist, it does not really mean that you have to change to a new one to lessen the burden. As the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) states, “Don’t shy away from speaking with your therapist about all possible options, referrals and additional resources that you could benefit from.” (4)

Does it feel the same as an in-person session?

In a study conducted in 2013 by clinical researchers at the University of Zurich, it indicates that “telemental health is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings and an acceptable alternative.” (5)

Online counseling can be both similar and different from an in-person session. Depending on the preference of the client, they may want to undergo treatment in the clinic, while some may want to do it in the comfort of their own place.

Telehealth counseling may not work for some people who feel iffy with technology. However, counselors have seen the advantages it can give to some clients who find it difficult to get out of bed or is not in the condition to go out of their way for therapy. Since it is possible to have the session no matter where you are, it may seem weird at first, but rest assured that virtual sessions are still highly effective.

Does it have to be a video call?

For people who have insurance, they may have to use video calls for the treatment to be covered in their policy. However, self-paying individuals may have more options, such as a telephone call.
