It’s Thursday after work and the last thing you want to do is sit in an office, in your work attire to discuss your most personal thoughts and feelings. What you really want to do is to head home, get into your comfy clothes, and sit in your favourite spot to unpack the challenges of this week with your counsellor!
This has become more seamless than ever for you.
The world is changing and many services are now offered online. Did you know that for many years now, virtual therapy has been scientifically proven to be just as effective as in-person therapy? It may seem impersonal to some, but it’s easier than ever before to connect with others in an online environment, and therapy is no exception.
Without the restriction of a building with office hours, therapists providing online therapy can be more flexible to allow for evenings and weekends and make it work for your needs. And as a result for those living in remote areas, online therapy opens up way more options for choosing the right therapist for you. Lastly, for those limited by physical disabilities, mobility or transportation issues, a quality online therapist is a no-brainer.
There are often very long wait times for in-person therapy, and finding a virtual option can often get you in with a high-quality therapist much quicker. Without the lag time of paperwork and physical consent forms, getting set up virtually can get you in with your virtual therapist as quickly as that afternoon!
If you’re hungry or have to go to the restroom, you have easy access when doing virtual therapy from home. Curl up with a blanket, your favourite tea and feel more at ease when getting to those deeper parts of your healing journey.
