Benefits of Online Therapy
ACCESSIBILITY
You have access to a wider range of mental health providers online. Usually with telehealth you can see any licensed provider in your state. It may be easier to find a provider that meets your needs. Also, if you are looking for a specialty you may have more providers that offer that specialty online.
CONVENIENT
Telehealth or online therapy is more convenient saves you time traveling to sessions. You can also save money on transportation costs. It is usually easier to attend because you can have sessions in any private room.
MORE COMFORTABLE
Some people feel more comfortable in their own home or other private space than going to a therapist's office. At times anxiety makes it harder to leave one’s house and online therapy may be helpful in addressing that barrier. Also, clients may feel safer to share and open up in their own place.
