Is Virtual Therapy Right for Me?

Online Therapy for Anxiety & Depression

Key Benefits for Anxiety

• Reduces social stress: Meeting from home avoids the stress of a busy waiting room.

• Feels safer: Being in your own space helps you talk more openly.

• Flexible: Easier to fit into a busy schedule

• Sticking with it: Easier to stick with it because less chances to cancelling because of sickness, busyness or other reasons

Key Benefits for Depression

• Lowers effort needed: You do not need to travel when your energy is very low.

• Keeps a routine: Easy scheduling helps you stick to regular check-ins.

• Reduces isolation: You are talking to someone

• Reduced Stigma: Sessions from the privacy of your home so no one knows.

Getting the most out of Virtual Sessions

To get the most out of virtual sessions and have it be the most effective, here are some recommendations:

• Treat the virtual appointment as you would an in-person appointment

• Find a comfortable, confidential space where you can speak freely without interruption

• Refrain from multitasking - such as driving, shopping, household chores or other activities

• Using a device that is reliable, charged and has a good internet or cell connection

Online Therapy Faqs

Sessions are:

• From a local therapist located in Missouri

• Conducted through a secure, confidential platform
