What is Online Therapy?
Who Is Online Therapy Suitable For?
Online therapy may be a viable option for:
-
Remote residents:For those who live far away, online therapy allows them to access therapy even though they may have trouble finding a local therapist.
-
With time or place restrictions:Online therapy is a viable option for those who find it difficult to go to therapy because of workload, remote living, or physical limitations.
-
Anonymous seekers:For those who do not want to meet the therapist face-to-face, online therapy offers an anonymous and confidential option.
-
Those with anxiety disorders such as social phobia or agoraphobia:These people may have difficulty going to therapy, as well as stressful situations such as leaving the house or meeting strangers. Online therapy allows these people to feel more comfortable and safe.
-
Those with difficult access to therapy:Those living in areas with difficult access to therapy can work with remote therapists through online therapy.
However, online therapy may not be a suitable option for everyone, and in-person therapy may be more appropriate for certain situations. In any case, it is recommended that you talk to a professional clinical psychologist to determine the most appropriate option.
