Yes. Online therapy (or teletherapy) has been found to be just as effective as in-person treatment. It can also be more convenient particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when we should be staying at home as much as possible. Instead of traveling long distances to see someone in person, you can speak to an experienced therapist from your computer or smartphone. Just like in-person therapy, anything you say in these sessions will be completely confidential. Online therapists can help with conditions such as stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia.
During your appointment, the therapist will ask you questions and listen closely to how you’re feeling. They’ll then help you make changes to work towards your goals and suggest ways to manage your problems and help you cope better with daily life.
