15 Benefits of Online Therapy

You don’t have to sit in traffic to go to your appointment
There’s more flexibility with scheduling
You can be in the comfort of your home
For those living in smaller communities no one will see you “entering the therapist office” so effectively you have more privacy
If your home bound for any reason (recently had a baby, maybe you had surgery, a chronic/debilitating illness, etc) you can still have access to a counselor who can help you
Have small children? Therapy online during their nap time makes therapy more accessible for you
No searching for parking
Public Transportation issues will not impact your ability to attend sessions
Being in the comfort and safety of your own home allows you to feel more safe in opening up and talking about there intimate details of your life
You can go on vacation and not miss therapy if you don’t want too
Want to study abroad and continue with your therapist? Online therapy works for this as well
You can move within your state and not have to change therapists
Bad weather won’t slow you down
Travel a lot for business-don’t cancel your therapy appointment just reschedule so you can meet online
Finding a therapist who you connect with relationally and culturally is important but the distance is too far to meet in person-meet online instead

You made a good point when you said that being in your own home’s comfort allows you to be more comfortable and open up and talk to a therapist. My ex-boyfriend and I had a really rough breakup that spiraled me into depression. I am finally willing to admit that I need professional help, so perhaps I should start looking for an online therapist. Thanks for this.

Thank you for explaining that online therapy can allow you to feel more safe about opening up because you’ll be in your own home. My cousin was telling me that she’s been feeling like she needs to see someone, but she doesn’t know if she’ll feel comfortable talking about all of her problems in an office. I wonder if she’ll consider seeing if any therapists use online therapy and if that could be a better option for her.
