What Does Tele-Therapy Treatment Offer?

Teletherapy, also known as online therapy, e-therapy, or video therapy, is therapy delivered through a virtual platform via a computer. If you’ve ever used FaceTime or Skype, it’s essentially the same thing — except more secure and with a qualified therapist or counselor at the other end instead of a distant friend or relative.

Where time zones or connectivity issues make live appointments inconvenient, teletherapy can also involve the use of time-delayed interventions and interactions. This enables patients to receive science-based treatments through video recordings, audio files, and more. Many treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness interventions, translate well into a digital format despite the therapist and client not being co-located.
