Online Therapy: Is This the New Norm For Therapy?
With so many new online therapy options out there for you to choose from, it can be extremely difficult for you to find a therapy service that works for you.
This includes the therapy form that is on the rise: online therapy.
So much is accomplished through the internet nowadays (just about everything)- maybe even more than occurs in person. Whether we are ready for it or not, online therapy is here; and it is definitely here for the long haul.
I am worried online therapy isn’t right for me…
However, online therapy in Kansas is nothing for you to be wary of or afraid of. In fact, it may just be the future of the industry.
Let’s say you and your partner are in want of therapy but you are simply too far away from the therapist you would like to see. Online couples therapy in Kansas is an excellent alternative to driving an hour one way to see your desired therapists.
You have plenty of options online, just as you do in person.
Our Online Therapists Know There Has Been A Marked Change from In-Person to Online Therapy in the Past Few Years
Let’s face it; it can be super scary for us to open up through a screen. You feel weird and off sharing your feelings when the therapist isn’t even in the same room with you. It isn’t an experience that you are used to or comfortable with, and that is completely normal, especially if you’ve been to our in-person therapy in the past.
Additionally, many of us are quite leery of seeing ourselves on camera. We all have at least a few insecurities, and staring at ourselves for hours on end does not sound very appealing to us in that sense. Naturally, this will make you skeptical of therapy over a phone or computer.
Some of you may be worried about using new technology that is completely foreign in your eyes. If you haven’t grown up in the world that we now live in, all of the tweaks on the internet can be extremely intimidating.
All of these fears have very simple fixes that can instantly build your confidence in online therapy.
Benefits of Online Therapy:
Ease of Use:
Our platforms have made the use of technology so effortless that oftentimes the only step necessary to reach your class or workshop is the click of a link.
Control of Your Own Camera:
Most sites allow you to block your self-view so that, if need be, you can turn off your camera or make it so that only your therapist can see you. This makes it easy for you to focus on your counseling and not that stain on your shirt.
Convenience:
Online therapy is more convenient than in-person visits. You can see your counselor at almost any place and at almost any time. Lunch break at work? Yup. On a week-long vacation? Yup. At your kid’s piano recital? Uhhhh… sure…well maybe not. I’ll leave that one up to you and your little Beethoven.
Whatever the case, you can fit online therapy or online connection classes into your busy schedule.
Tips for Beginning Online Therapy in Kansas
