Online Therapy

Online therapy, also known as teletherapy or virtual therapy, is a form of therapy that takes place over the internet. It allows individuals to receive therapeutic support and treatment remotely, using various online communication tools. In online therapy, clients and therapists interact in a secure and confidential digital environment, making it convenient and accessible for people who may have difficulty attending in-person sessions due to geographical constraints, mobility issues, or other personal reasons. 

Benefits of Online Therapy

• Accessibility: Allows access to therapy for individuals in remote or underserved areas.
• Convenience: Offers flexibility with scheduling and eliminates the need for travel.
• Comfort: Provides a familiar environment for clients, reducing anxiety and promoting openness.
• Continuity of Care: Enables clients to continue therapy when relocating or traveling.
• Time Efficiency: Minimizes time spent commuting, increasing the efficiency of therapy sessions.

What happens during therapy?

The therapist creates a safe and confidential space for the client to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. The focus is on gaining insights into the client’s inner world, relationships, and challenges. Therapeutic techniques and strategies are employed to address emotional and psychological difficulties, promote personal growth, and develop coping skills. The therapist helps the client build tolerance for uncomfortable emotions and fosters a sense of resilience and strength within them. Overall, individual therapy aims to support the client in achieving greater self-awareness, healing, and positive life changes.

How to make the most out of therapy?

To make the most of therapy, be open and honest during your therapy sessions, setting clear goals for what you want to achieve. Build trust in the therapeutic relationship and attend sessions regularly. Be patient with the process as growth takes time and engage in any homework or exercises provided. Embrace vulnerability and practice self-reflection outside of sessions. Give feedback to improve the therapy experience and be kind to yourself throughout the journey. By actively participating and committing to the process, you can achieve positive change and personal growth through therapy.

What is the duration of each session and how many sessions do I need to attend?

Each session is approximately 55 minutes in length. The overall duration of therapy varies for each individual and depends on the complexity and the needs of each individual. As a start, I recommend 4-6 sessions to find benefit in psychotherapy. Therapy may be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or long-term for more complex or ongoing challenges. We will discuss this and work together to map out a plan that best suits your needs.
