Can I Do Counseling Online?

While online counseling has been available for some time, you may be wondering if it is right for you. Anyone with a secure location and good internet connection can do online counseling, though that doesn’t mean that all of your questions are answered. Knowing if this type of counseling is right for you might be something else entirely.

Who is Online Counseling Good For?

Being able to see your therapist online can be a wonderful thing. It is different from in person sessions in some aspects, though effectiveness is not one of them. Online sessions can be just as effective as in person sessions, even more so in some situations such as:

Limited Time: If you are strapped for time, like many of us, the idea of scheduling another appointment may be overwhelming. When you see your therapist online there’s often more flexibility with scheduling and less time needed. If you are going to an in-person session you must factor in travel time. With online sessions this is a non-issue!
Difficulty Traveling: If you have difficulty traveling to appointments for any reason online counseling can be more effective for you than traditional in person sessions. With traveling no longer a part of the equation you may find that you are able to be more consistent with your appointments allowing for more positive growth and change.
Lack of Providers: Many of us live in areas with limited providers. If you have to drive long distances to see providers that are a good fit for you or in your insurance network, online counseling can remove this barrier.
