Online therapy, or teletherapy, simply talk therapy that takes place virtually via a HIPAA-secured platform. Although there are some psychiatric issues that are best suited for in-person therapy, research has shown that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many common therapy issues.

Instead of factoring in additional time for travel, online appointments can fit more seamlessly into your busy life.
