ONLINE THERAPY
Internet. These services are offered in real time via video conferencing with the Skype, Facetime, Meet, Zoom or Whatsapp platforms.
The main lines of research within online psychotherapy have established the efficacy of online therapy with treatment outcomes at least equal to those presented by traditional face-to-face therapy sessions.
Online psychotherapy has some benefits over face-to-face sessions:
- It allows you to attend sessions more regularly than in traditional sessions.
- It can be more responsive and less intimidating than traditional face-to-face sessions.
- It allows you to work in a safe and familiar space, which helps the patient to feel calmer and more receptive.
- It allows people who have a complicated and extensive work and/or academic schedule to attend the sessions in a more convenient and practical way.
- It makes it easier for people who have physical limitations or who live in other towns, foreign countries or places that are difficult to access to have access to the professional services they consider most appropriate.
