Online Therapy Services
For people with limited time or mobility, video therapy can be just as effective as in-person counseling sessions. Many people find the ability to “visit” their therapist remotely can help them continue receiving the benefits of therapy if they are traveling for school or work, or are homebound due to an illness.

Advantages of Remote Counseling
Video counseling offers many distinct advantages over traditional face-to-face appointments.
- 1. Flexible Scheduling Video therapy eliminates the travel time to and from the therapist’s office. People with busy schedules who have trouble fitting in-person sessions into their lifestyles may find video therapy is overall much more convenient and easy to accommodate. This style of therapy can take away the hassle of scheduling and setting appointments more common in traditional settings. Both the client and therapist can communicate with each other over a broader range of times.
- 2. Lowers Barriers to Treatment For people who are uncomfortable with the idea of traditional therapy or who struggle with problems like social anxiety disorder or agoraphobia that make face-to-face interactions more challenging, video therapy provides an ideal solution.
- 3. Eliminates Stigmas Unfortunately, some people do not seek the treatment they need because of the social stigma that still surrounds the idea of getting therapy. Online video counseling provides people with access to services in the comfort of their home, without having to physically visit a therapist’s office. Anyone who feels embarrassed or awkward about getting treatment will feel more peace of mind about seeking assistance, when they might otherwise have hesitated to reach out.
- 4. Ideal for Remote Patients Video therapy provides mental health treatment to people in rural or remote areas. Those who live far away or in smaller towns might not have access to any other form of treatment because there are no licensed mental health professionals working in their geographic area. Video therapy gives these individuals access to treatment that they might not have otherwise.
