Teletherapy, also known as online therapy or e-therapy, is a form of therapy that is conducted remotely through video conferencing or phone calls. It allows you to receive mental health services from the comfort of your own home.

Numerous studies have shown that teletherapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health conditions. With the right therapist and technology, you can achieve similar therapeutic outcomes.

Teletherapy typically involves scheduling sessions with your therapist through a secure video conferencing platform. You will need a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

Yes, teletherapy is confidential. Therapists are bound by ethical guidelines to maintain the privacy of their clients. However, it’s important to choose a therapist who uses secure and HIPAA-compliant platforms to protect your information.
