Teletherapy, also known as online therapy, is becoming a popular alternative to in-person therapy. As Covid-19 became a global reality, there was a drastic change in lifestyles and abilities, since many people could not continue in-person appointments.<\/p>\n

While many people in therapy switched to in-person appointments as soon as they could again, other people chose to stick with teletherapy. This article explores why some people made the switch and what keeps them going to appointments.<\/p>\n

Research Supports That Teletherapy is An Effective Option<\/h2>\n
\"Teletherapy
Anyone with a smart device (smartphone or tablet) or a computer and an internet connection can take part in teletherapy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Teletherapy has several decades of research that suggest it is a viable option for people, compared to in-person therapy. The practice of teletherapy itself is even older than the research since it\u2019s been available as long as phones have been available.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jeanine Turner is a professor in communication technology whose research focuses on multicommunicating, telemedicine, and distance education. Dr. Turner reports that\u00a0Covid-19 changed the necessity of teletherapy<\/a> on a large scale: healthcare professionals and patients embraced online therapy amidst lockdown restrictions.<\/p>\n

Now, research confirms that\u00a0online therapy gives people the tools they need<\/a>\u00a0to survive and thrive. Dr. Batastini, a licensed psychologist, offers recent research that suggests in-person and virtual teletherapy produced the same outcome for patients.<\/p>\n
