Short answer: For anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns, studies show online therapy is comparable to in-person therapy when delivered by a qualified therapist. In-person sessions are preferable in crisis situations, for young children and when privacy at home is not possible.
Who benefits most
- People with busy schedules or long commutes
- Expats who prefer sessions in English
- Those with social anxiety, as a first step
- Parents who cannot leave home easily
When in-person is better
- Acute crisis or safety concerns
- Young children (play-based work)
- No private space at home
Preparing for a session
- A quiet room, headphones, stable connection
- Ten minutes to settle before the call
- The same time each week, like an in-person appointment
