Convenience/Flexibility
Teletherapy offers convenience and flexibility. These services are available to clients in the comfort and privacy of their own home, office or remote location. Those who dread sitting in traffic or waiting in therapy offices can now feel at ease in a comfortable setting of their choice. Teletherapy eliminates the chance of running into people you may know at the therapy office.
Clients can still attend their teletherapy sessions, even when you are fighting the flu or virus that may be extremely contagious, teletherapy allows you to receive the mental health services they need without putting the health of others at risk. Teletherapy is also a great option for those who want to take extra precautions to not get sick.
Communication between client and therapist is often made easier through teletherapy, which can ease relations and improve your overall experience. Possibly one of the greatest perks to teletherapy services is the access it offers for remote patients and disabled populations.
Access
Some communities do not have access to therapists. Teletherapy gives people in rural areas counseling options that they never had before. Additionally, people may have problems that need specialized assistance that they can’t find locally. Fortunately, teletherapy can help those people find someone who specializes in their issues online.
Effectiveness of Teletherapy
Evidence has shown that teletherapy is as effective as in-person therapy.
