Online Therapy Can be the Solution You’re Looking for
We know that getting to therapy appointments can be difficult. Perhaps you live in Chicago and traffic is terrible. You’re stressed already and you have an hour commute ahead of you and, let’s be honest, being in traffic is the worst. You quietly question yourself, is the hassle of getting to therapy really worth it? Let me tell you, IT IS! But there is an easier way. Plus, you deserve the care you need.
Or, on the flip side you live in rural Illinois with fewer mental health resources and don’t love all the choices closest to home. Maybe, you just would rather sit on your own couch during a counseling session. Either way, getting to counseling can be a challenge.

Is Online Therapy Effective?
Simple answer? Yes.
Online therapy is, on the surface, different from the tried and true face-to-face therapy. So academics decided to do research to see if online therapy is a worthy treatment modality. As it turns out, online therapy or “videoconferencing conditions” are as effective in significantly reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while increasing quality of life.
