A Psychology Today article (2019), lists several benefits. These includes:
- Privacy – the ability to access therapy from the privacy of your own home. Psychotherapists also main privacy by ensuring that their office is secure.
- Efficiency – Time being an important resource for us all, cutting out the travel time and waiting in lobbies saves you time.
- Flexibility – If you travel for work or sometimes are away at your cottage, you can still meet with your therapist online.
- Working with Illness – Since COVID, many of us practice safe distancing from others. Cutting out being in common areas can give you peace of mind. If you are ill and wonder if you need to cancel an appointment because you are worried that you’ll get someone sick, you don’t need worry and you can still attend psychotherapy.
