yeah, I said it 💁‍♀️ as a virtual therapist I am passionate about the validity of online therapy. researchers looked at more than 60 studies and found that seeing a therapist virtually is just as effective as face-to-face sessions for most people with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (ucla health, 2021). ⁣
⁣
here are my top T H R E E favorite things about virtual therapy:⁣
🪩 you don’t have to live in the same town as your therapist⁣
that’s right! I can see anyone who lives in North Carolina, regardless of the town. ⁣
⁣
🪩 you have more flexibility when scheduling⁣
without travel times, therapy sessions can take only an hour.⁣
⁣
🪩 you choose the space where therapy happens⁣
love your sunroom? great. better light in the kitchen? perfect. want to curl up in your bed with coffee in hand? fine by me. ⁣
⁣
with those being said, online therapy is not for everyone and if you need a referral to an in-person therapist please let me know. but if you’re ready to try online therapy, let’s chat! ⁣
