10 Reasons To Add Online Therapy To Your Practice

1.  According to the American Psychological Association, almost 25% of people with mental health problems don’t get the help they need with the current mental health delivery system. Online therapy extends the reach and reduces the cost of therapeutic services.
2. Studies suggest that online therapy is just as effective as traditional in-office therapy.  
3. There are tens of thousands of people who cannot go to an office to see a psychotherapist, including the elderly, the physically disabled, people living in remote areas, and people who have emotional problems that prevent them from leaving their home.
4. Online therapy makes it easy for both therapists and clients to communicate outside regular office hours.
5. Online therapy allows professionals to provide immediate emergency psychological services. For example, trauma specialists could be connected to a triage center at a disaster site in a matter of minutes (studies show that that early treatment reduces the chance of PTSD).
6. Therapists can provide treatment for people at the location where the problem is occurring, such as an airport for a client with fear of flying, or during an office presentation for a person with social anxiety.
7. Therapists can provide consultation to institutions such as schools, hospitals, daycare centers, and remote clinics, without the time and expense of travelling.
8. Therapists can receive supervision from recognized experts in their field from anywhere in the world.
9. The vast majority of people look for a therapists online. It makes sense that many of these clients would also want to communicate with a therapist online.
