How does teletherapy work?
Online therapy has many names:
Teletherapy
Remote therapy
Telehealth
Virtual Mental Health
Video therapy
Online therapy allows you to meet with your therapist from the convenience and privacy of your own home. You won’t have to worry about travel time. Your “commute” will be steps away to a comfy, private space in your house. Psychotherapists who provide online counseling use a confidential video platform to meet and talk with their clients. I use Doxy.me, a HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform.
Remote therapy, alternatively, does allow for closer physical proximity to faces, which can provide for a more connected and intimate psychotherapy experience.
Another factor to consider with teletherapy is that it allows for enhanced focus on facial expressions because your screen is nearer to your face. Some find that there are less distractions when you are only focusing on a face as opposed to a whole human being.
Or if you need a break from screens, then online therapy is also a good choice for your mental health treatment because psychotherapy sessions can also occur over the phone.
Is online therapy as good as in-person therapy?
Online therapy and in-person therapy each have different benefits. Both forms of therapy provide you with a confidential, validating, and supportive environment to discuss anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low confidence, and life transitions.
Remote counseling might be a preferred option for those with busy schedules who don’t want to waste time commuting. Virtual mental health treatment allows you to remain in the comfort of your house while still achieving psychological recovery and healing.
Your mental health comes first.
