A Closer Look at Online Therapy...

​

Online conversation or online therapy is defined as a treatment based in dialogue -- talking about what's bothering you with a professional who is supportive, neutral, and nonjudgmental. This means that the conversation takes place over the phone, preferably with video on. Today, technology has evolved so that one can easily have ordinary psychologist conversations online, and therefore online therapy has become more and more widespread.

 

For some, even admitting they need help can be tough. They could feel shame or embarrassment. They could be resistant to it or afraid that family members or friends will find out. Either way, that first step can be hard. Reaching out anonymously can break the ice and make it easier to tackle any challenges.
