Not many years ago it was unthinkable to do therapy in a context that was not the psychotherapist office. When I moved to Canada I had some clients that prioritized the continuity in their therapy. That's how for more than ten years I offered therapy over the phone, the only way at that time to shorten the distance.
The online therapy solves the impossibility of transportation and saves time. The clients close the door of their office or desk, their homes or wherever they are more comfortable (and have more privacy) and enter the therapeutic environment.
Today, the online sessions present a highly productive option.
There is however an element that is lost with the online therapy. The patient/client that goes to the therapist office gets ready for the session, there is a "transportation" in time and space and this helps in many cases to emotionally position him/herself to enter the therapeutic context.
On the other hand, the online therapy solves the impossibility of transportation and saves time. The clients close the door of their office or desk, their homes or wherever they are more comfortable (and have more privacy) and enter the therapeutic environment.
There are people that want to continue with their therapy during a business or study trip or they wish to keep the same therapist when they move to another country.
If you think that the online therapy would work for your situation, you can contact me via email: infolauracoogan@gmail.com
