Very great therapy sessions

Reviewed December 2024

II appreciate that therapy can take time and Pius has been patient with me as we navigate the complexities of my life. We’ve met for four sessions now, and he acknowledges that I am unsure if online therapy is good fit for me, but that I also don’t want to quit. That I promised myself I would give therapy a real shot and that is what we aim to do in my sessions. Each session has gotten better than the previous session.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
