About Online Counseling

What Is Online Counseling?

Online counseling is a virtual form of psychotherapy that doesn’t involve in-person interaction. Most mental health counseling involves a patient meeting face-to-face with a licensed mental health professional in an office or a clinic. But online counseling (also known as virtual therapy, or teletherapy) is a digital approach to treatment, and sessions can be conducted online through video chat or over the phone. 

Online counseling has become an increasingly popular alternative for anyone with a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Many evidence-based approaches to therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), are well-suited to online counseling, and in this day and age, more and more important aspects of healthcare, and daily life in general, are available online. Online counseling can help many seek the mental health care that they need in a format that better suits their needs.
