HEALING HEART COUNSELING

#1 Convenience

Virtual therapy is wonderfully convenient. Instead of setting aside time to travel to your therapist’s office (and getting stuck in traffic), you can roll out of bed and have your therapy session from home. This convenience could encourage you to have more frequent therapy sessions — which in turn is amazing for your mental health.

​

#2 Accessibility

For some people, a therapist’s office is more than a 20-minute drive away. People living in more remote regions might not have access to an in-person therapist and travelling the distance is often a huge deterrence. With virtual therapy, people who once needed therapy now have access to it. In fact, this transition to therapy online has made mental health services more accessible than ever!

​

#3 More Effective Sessions

People who dislike therapy often cite a therapist’s office as a huge factor. Some therapist offices tend to feel cold, clinical and aloof. This discourages them from opening up. In contrast to this, having therapy in the comforts of your home. As a result, your therapy sessions might be more effective than ever.

​

#4 Less Awkward Interactions

Another huge issue with in-person therapy is the awkwardness associated with going to a therapist’s office. There’s the discomfort of sitting in a waiting room with other patients, for example. But with virtual therapy, you can skip the discomfort and access your therapy sessions with the click of a button.

​

#5 Better Communication

At the end of the day, virtual therapy provides an immense opportunity for people around the world. It’s made mental health more accessible and respected than ever. But ultimately, your takeaways from virtual therapy will depend on you. This means that you have to take initiative and truly immerse in the experience in order to enjoy the 5 benefits we’ve mentioned today. A good first start is simply the willingness to give it a go!
