Online Therapy
When you don't have the time, availability, or ability to see a therapist in person; online sessions can be another way to get the support you need in a way that fits your life. Research studies, many of which are listed in bibliography format by the Telemental Health Institute, also indicate that telemental health is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings and an acceptable alternative.

What Is Online Therapy?
