Online Therapy Right For You?

Virtual therapy options are increasingly common and popular. If you’re wondering whether online therapy is right for you, here are a few important things to consider.  Accessibility: You don’t need to go to an office to talk to a counselor, which is especially useful for people who live in remote areas or have mobility issues, but also very handy if you need to talk through something while you’re traveling.  Multiple formats: With virtual therapy, you may have the option to text your therapist as well as have video or audio sessions, so you can choose whatever is most comfortable for you at that moment.  Insurance coverage: Even if your health insurance covers mental health care, they may not cover tele-therapy. Be sure to verify this in advance.  Affordability: Some online therapy services offer monthly plans that are already less expensive than some in-person therapists, and those plan prices decrease if you pay for packages in advance, such as for three- or six- month periods.
