This is the MyTherapyNet.com Blog – a place where you may access the latest information regarding Online Therapy.

In this first post, we are going to answer a few basic questions about Online Therapy.

The first question that everyone seems to have is “what is Online Therapy?”  Online Therapy is almost exactly what it sounds like – mental healthcare appointments that take place via the internet.

Appointments take place using chat (instant messaging), audio, or webcam video conferencing.

Online Therapy is effective when used with a licensed professional utilizing a secure conferencing platform.

Advantages begin with convenience.  You can meet with a therapist from wherever you may be, as long as you have a computer and internet connection.

Using the internet to meet means that people who do not have physical access to a therapist can see one Online.  This makes services available to people who are homebound and those who live in rural areas.

Online Therapy is a great alternative for people who feel stigmatized by going to a therapist’s physical office.  It can serve as a bridge to getting help for those people who are too busy or too self-conscious to go in person.  It is especially empowering for those who suffer from shame-based issues.

Online Therapy may not be for everyone, but it may be for you.  If you are like the vast majority of all people, there is something going on in your life that can benefit from the help of a therapist.  Whether it is a relationship issue, a career choice, a health issue, stress, depression, or a self esteem issue, therapy can help and Online Therapy can help while providing you with the greatest amount of convenience, flexibility and choice possible.
