Are There Benefits of Online Counseling?
While you deal with the remainder of your day, online counseling gives you the opportunity to take care of your emotional needs in the convenience of your home, office or other private space.
By providing services while you sit in the comfort of your own home, in your office, or even your car you can relax. This removes the stressors of traffic, leaving work early, finding a sitter, or getting to the next place you need to be on time.
When choosing my practice for your therapy needs, you will conveniently be able to complete all documentation through an electronic digital portal.
Counseling services are held over HIPAA-compliant secure video conferencing. You only need a computer, tablet, or smart-phone and a stable internet connection.

What Research Shows About Online Counseling
Studies have shown online therapy can be just as productive and helpful as face-to-face sessions. Online therapy provides individuals who are severely anxious about leaving home the comfort of remaining in their home while working on their anxiety concerns.
Research in 2008 and 2013 has found that online video therapy had the same rates of improvement as traditional one-on-one therapy. The study also dispelled concerns about online therapy not being as personable.
Studies have found that after a few sessions, clients became more comfortable with the format and reported feeling more relaxed and excited about receiving therapy through video calls.
Some individuals even said they were more comfortable with online rather than in person sessions because they were more comfortable and had more control.
A 2009 study found that many of the participants said that conveniently having sessions in the comfort of their own homes made them more likely to start and continue therapy, as driving to sessions discouraged them from going.
More Benefits of Online Counseling
It is also ideal for individuals who live too far away from their therapist of choice. Counseling sessions can also be offered phone if absolutely needed. However, secure video counseling is recommended and preferred.
I highly recommend and encourage all clients to find a therapist who specializes in their specific concerns.
