Online Counseling: The Convenience and Accessibility of Virtual Therapy
The COVID Pandemic ushered in the widespread use and adoption of online counseling. With technological advancements, online counseling has become a popular and convenient option for those seeking therapy. Online counseling, also known as teletherapy or virtual therapy, allows individuals to access counseling services online from the comfort of their own homes.
Online counseling provides flexibility and accessibility, making it particularly appealing for individuals with busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer the privacy of remote sessions. It eliminates geographical barriers, allowing individuals to connect with therapists from different locations.
Through secure video calls, online counseling offers many of the same benefits as traditional in-person therapy. It provides a confidential space for individuals to discuss their concerns, develop coping strategies, and receive support from a licensed therapist. While counselors have come up with incredibly creative ways to do online therapy, this type of counseling is best utilized by adults and older teens. The developmental abilities of children and young teens are generally better served by in-person counseling.
