Online therapy offers a different kind of privacy than in-person therapy. You can choose a therapist who lives far enough away that you will never bump into each other in your local grocery store. I have worked with lots of clients in Southern California. I live over 8 hours away. I will never meet them in person. I do see my local clients around town. I follow ethics rules and never initiate conversation. They sometimes come up and say hi, though. Some are thankful and continue on without engaging. With distance teletherapy, that awkward moment will not present itself to you.

While teletherapy isn't for everyone, I think it's fantastic. I recommend that you give it a try.

Online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions in an office setting. In fact, many people experiencing stress prefer to work online. It saves time in an already stressful schedule.

You can reduce stress by participating in therapy online in the comfort of their own home. Visiting a new place and meeting a new person all at the same time can be overwhelming and add to your stress. Traveling to an unfamiliar location can also be stressful. Online therapy does away with all those things.
