Is online therapy effective?

While there is not yet much published research on the effectiveness of virtual therapy vs. in-person therapy, I can speak from my own experience in the virtual therapy space. My clients report similar levels of progress to clients I have seen in-person in the past and report many benefits to online therapy including ease, comfort, and flexibility.

Online therapy is not for everyone, but others report they prefer it. It really is an individual choice!
