Online Counseling
What is Online Counseling?
Online Counseling is an alternative to having a face to face session with a Counselor at a designated location. Instead sessions take place online through a secure Internet Platform either by Live Video or by Live Chat Message/Messenger.
What are the Benefits of Online Counseling?
In addition to offering in office therapy, I offer online video therapy via Doxy.me which is a secure free video platform. I offer online therapy for convenience, flexibility and accessibility to clients with busy schedules, who are housebound, desire an added degree of privacy or who are unable to come to the office. Online therapy has been proven to be just as effective as in office therapy in helping people to reach the goals they have set for themselves.
Online therapy allows you to be in your own comfortable and familiar space and will make for a more relaxed session. Making therapy a priority is a necessary part of the healing process, however if you have many commitments and a very busy schedule, it is sometimes difficult to come to an office. Therapy sessions via video using Doxy.me makes it easier to fit sessions into a packed schedule. The work is just as meaningful and transformative online as it is in the office.
Convenience is a huge benefit to Online Counseling as it means that you can access sessions with the Counselor without having to factor in travel time. There are also other reasons why you may choose to have Counseling online.
Chronic illness or Physical impairments make it difficult for you to attend conventional sessions- Travelling to Counseling premises may not be practical, advisable or helpful for everyone but this should not preclude them from being able to access Counseling. If illness makes your health and energy levels unpredictable then video sessions may be a useful option as you do not need to commit to an allocated time slot.
Limited Childcare- New and Single parents may find it difficult to regularly leave the house to attend Counseling. Although there are certain limitations and considerations, Online Counseling can be a practical solution for parents seeking emotional support. Video Counseling can be a particularly useful solution as it allows you to choose a time that you meet with the therapists without the need to commit to a specific office time.
