Online or virtual psychotherapy has been around for many years. In 2020 it became extremely popular (we all know why). I wrote about the benefits of online therapy in 2021 (read my blog post here), but I’m writing about it again because now I have four years of full-time experience with it. Honestly, I love providing online therapy and I plan to keep doing it. You can receive online therapy by using a video conferencing app on your computer, tablet, or phone.
Online therapy isn’t for everyone, and some people prefer in-person therapy sessions. There are psychologists who are now providing in-person sessions, but many (like me), have remained exclusively online. Are you trying to decide if online therapy would be a good fit for you? Here are some reasons to stay home and give online therapy a try!

 Are 10-minute consultations really useful? This post was updated on March 29, 2024.
There are many reasons why I don't give free, 10-minute consultations.
 E-Therapy (or virtual therapy or telehealth) is a term that describes the use of technology to provide psychological services from a distance. In other words, e-therapy takes place when a therapist and client are not in physical proximity to each other. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the mass adoption of e-therapy by psychologists. Furthermore, many people are now accustomed to working and communicating daily using video platforms. In fact, some clients prefer the convenience of e-therapy over face-to-face therapy sessions, and many have become comfortable with the technology. This post will focus on video therapy and telephone therapy provided by psychologists.
