The Rise of Telehealth: Why Online Therapy is Here to Stay
It used to be that seeing a therapist meant dealing with rush-hour traffic and sitting in a waiting room. Today, high-quality mental healthcare can happen right from your living room. But is it right for you?
For a great overview on the benefits of virtual care, check out this guide from the American Psychological Association (APA): What You Need to Know Before Choosing Online Therapy.
Short on time? Here are the top three takeaways from the APA—and how we use telehealth to support our clients at Arizona Behavioral Health Associates (psychotherapy.com):
- It offers unmatched convenience: The APA highlights that online therapy removes major barriers like commuting, allowing you to log in wherever you are most comfortable. This is why we proudly offer seamless, secure telehealth services, making it easier than ever to fit therapy into your busy schedule.
- Location doesn't have to limit your care: Traditionally, you had to find a provider in your immediate zip code. Because our providers are credentialed through PSYPACT and the Counseling Compact, we are authorized to provide online therapy to clients across over 40 participating states—perfect for college students, frequent travelers, or out-of-state residents!
- You need a licensed, qualified professional: The APA stresses the importance of ensuring your online therapist is fully licensed and practicing evidence-based care. Our team of highly trained, licensed professionals provides the exact same gold standard of care virtually—including CBT for anxiety, depression, and stress—as we do in person.
