Understanding Online Therapy And How It Can Benefit You
Online therapy has recently become very important in the world and as an experienced therapist, I have been doing it well before the pandemic. We are now seeing the value in it so much more which is why we love offering this service to our clients. There are many reasons why an individual may prefer online therapy to in-person sessions.
Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy
Studies show that patients receiving online therapy report to be just as satisfied with their experiences as in-person therapy. Many people stated that online therapy is easier to use and means they don’t have to travel to appointments, avoiding travel costs.
After the last two years, people may feel quite hesitant to see a therapist in person, and that’s okay! That is why here at Elevate Therapy & Wellness in Austin, TX, I offer anyone in the state online therapy in Texas.
What Are the Benefits Of Online Therapy?
Online therapy allows you to be in the place you feel most at ease with yourself whether that be your room, somewhere in your house or apartment, or even your car. This can enable you to focus more in your session. When you’re able to feel more comfortable in your own space, you can feel better able to open up with your therapist and progress in therapy.
Online therapy in texas can be a great option for you if:
It’s difficult for you to find time to travel to your therapist’s office. It can be more convenient for those who have a busy work schedule, family obligations, or those who like to travel and can’t make it into the office for the sessions.
You’re more comfortable speaking to a therapist from the comforts of your home and space. It gives those opting for this type of session the freedom to still be honest and open with their therapist in a uniquely safe environment for the individual, which will give the same, or sometimes an even better outcome than in-person therapy.
You have a physical limitation, and find that it’s much easier to attend an online session than to make your way into the office.
You live far from a therapist's office and being online enables you to have more choice over who you see within your state.
Online therapy is also great for those experiencing therapy for the first time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first therapy session. For this reason, there’s no place like home.
Tried and tested techniques such as breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, and mental health skills which are used to support you through your healing journey, can all be taught to you over online therapy.
How Can Online Therapy Help You?
As mentioned above this type of therapy is proven to be as effective as in-person sessions. This could be down to the fact you can choose your desired environment to carry out the session, or just that it can be much more convenient for certain individuals.
Online therapy offers sessions to those in rural or urban areas. Those who live in the more rural areas may not always be able to access any form of other mental health services, which is why we wanted to make sure we make psychotherapy sessions available to everyone.
Online Therapy in Texas can help those suffering with:
Depression
Self-esteem
What Do We Use For Online Therapy Sessions?
At Elevate, I use secure video chat software for our online therapy sessions, so when you book in with us, make sure you’re in a comfortable position and in a safe atmosphere ready to take the call.
When you opt for online therapy, there is no need to worry about whether it is safe. It’s still as private and confidential as in-person therapy as our online therapists use a HIPAA-compliant platform that will keep you and your personal information safe.
