What is Teletherapy?
Teletherapy refers to mental health therapy provided remotely to patients, usually through online video communication platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, or Skype. With teletherapy, patients can access mental health services from the comfort of their own homes, without the need to physically go to a therapist’s office.
Teletherapy has become an increasingly popular option for patients, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people were unable to leave their homes for extended periods. Teletherapy can provide a convenient and cost-effective way to access mental health services, as it allows patients to receive therapy sessions from the comfort of their own homes.
Research shows it is almost as effective as traditional in-person therapy, but it depends from person to person.
What Makes Teletherapy Special?
You might be wondering what exactly makes teletherapy a comparable option to traditional in-person therapy. Here’s what makes it special:
Accessibility
One of the key advantages of teletherapy is that it allows people to get therapy from the comfort of their own homes. This means that people with disabilities or are incapable of leaving their homes can still experience therapy from a professional.
Time-Effectiveness
In this day and age, it isn’t uncommon to not have enough time for everything. Teletherapy helps to bring mental health services to those who simply don’t have the time to physically go to a therapist. Not only do you eliminate the commute from your schedule, but you also get to
Increased Personalization and Custom Solutions
Teletherapy can enable more personalized treatment options, such as on-demand therapy sessions as needed, or more frequent check-ins. This means you get the exact type of help you need, when you need it.
Increased Anonymity
Many clients may feel more comfortable receiving therapy from the privacy of their own homes, as opposed to a traditional office setting. Teletherapy lets these clients experience the mental relief of therapy without having to be in that office setting.
