Your Therapy Corner (Online!)

Can it work for me? I have good news, most likely yes! The pandemic has made many of us consider if online therapy is right for me. In the beginning, I too was wondering if doing online therapy with clients would be effective for them. Luckily, I have found that if you are open to the idea of online therapy, then you are already a good candidate. However, if you know you are someone who has struggled to open up, for any reason, then having the safe space of being in person and feeling that connection, might the best option for you. With time, your comfort with online therapy may improve but it is important to follow your heart and do what feels right. As a clinician, I enjoy doing both!

For those who decide to go the online route, I have seen great results. I have found that the online route can also help people to be more vulnerable than they may in person, perhaps due to the safe space that a screen can create? This option is also beneficial for those who have busy schedules, live far away, have trouble leaving the home, and more. What I can say for sure is that I have seen people grow and develop in amazing ways both in-person and online. I am so happy about this because it opens therapy options for so many people, and we all deserve to get support when we need it!
