What Is Online Therapy? Online therapy, also known as e-therapy, e-counseling, teletherapy, or cyber-therapy, involves providing mental health services over the internet. Psychological services can be offered through video conferencing, online chat or messaging either as an adjunct to in-person therapy or as standalone medium. In many cases psychological services can be enhanced with the use of technology, as it saves money, time, the need for transportation and can be done from anywhere around the world. With the use of technology in online therapy, psychological homework and keeping track of one’s progress become much easier and both drop out rates and homework incompletion rates lower significantly.

What to have in mind...
1
Be in a safe environment. If you feel threatened or you are unable to speak freely, discuss with your therapist about alternative options regarding therapy. Confidentiality and Safety are core preconditions for any successful therapeutic exchange.
2
Quality of Equipment and Network Reliability. Make sure that you have the right equipment and network speed. A good microphone, speakers and camera are essential for having a full therapeutic experience.
3
Safety of Equipment and Network. Discuss with your therapist or other network/equipment specialist on how to maximize the safety of your equipment from unintended intrusions (Viruses, malware, spying etc.).
