Online individual therapy is a great way to access mental health help in a way that is convenient, accessible, effective, and comfortable. It has been found to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Let’s work together to help you get more out of your life.
Online Individual Therapy Provides Expanded Accessibility
My online counselling services are available to anyone in British Columbia and other Canadian Provinces and territories where counselling is unregulated. You can access online therapy through any computer, tablet, or smartphone with a good internet connection.
Online Individual Therapy is Effective
With online video therapy, I can still read a lot of the body language and cues that I would have if the session were in person. There are some tools that are easier to use with online therapy than with in-person therapy. EMDR, Flash, CBT, DBT, and CPT have all been to be just as effective online as in-person.
Convenience and Comfort
Online individual therapy can be beneficial to busy people or people who have difficulty getting to a therapist’s office. You can access it from home, a private office, or another private place. You don’t have to drive or take transit to a counsellor’s office, and no one will see you going in.
There is enhanced comfort with online therapy because you can access therapy from your own home and have comfort items or pets with you as you find healing in therapy. As long as it doesn’t distract you from the work we are doing in therapy I fairly open to the things you have with you while we work together.
If you have chronic pain or another condition that makes it hard to be comfortable in a counsellor’s office, you can attend therapy from a comfortable place at home. This can mean laying on a recliner or sofa, if that’s what it takes to get you in a position that you are comfortable so you can focus on therapy. I want you to be able to focus on the work we are doing together.
