Benefits of Online Counseling in Broward County, FL
There are many ways to engage in therapy nowadays. The main two you may hear people speak of include going to therapy in person or going to therapy online. In this blog, I will discuss the benefits of attending online therapy. The majority of my clients have found it to be the most beneficial of the two options and here are a few reasons why.
Benefits of Online Counseling:
Convenience
Attending therapy sessions online allows you to receive mental health counseling from the comfort of your home, office, or any private location.
Comfortable Setting
Speaking of comfort, attending therapy sessions online allows you to receive mental health counseling from your couch, while you're laying down, or even outside in your backyard.
Comfortable Clothing
You’re allowed to dress however you like. This is regardless of whether or not you’re attending a session in person or online. With that being said, I’ve come to notice that most people are comfortable wearing cozy loungewear while they’re at home. On the other hand, clients who come to therapy in person tend to still be dressed in their work clothes. Clothes that they’ve been eagerly waiting to change out of all day.
It’s Easier To Fit Into Your Schedule
Speaking of work and other responsibilities, going to therapy online is easier to fit into your schedule. This is as it compares to going to therapy in person. At this point, you may have had a doctor’s appointment online. I’m sure you’ve realized how much easier and convenient it is to go to the doctor via telehealth. The same goes for therapy.
Here are some times and places you can squeeze an online therapy session into your schedule…
On a lunch break
In-between a meeting
While the baby naps in the other room
Outside while you’re soaking up the sunlight
While you fold up laundry or do some other household chore
One Less Place To Commute
Most people are living much busier lives than ever before. The more we do, the more we commute. And for many people, having one less place to commute to would be so relieving. Just think about it, we commute to the following places on a weekly, if not daily, basis…
work
grocery store
gym (if you exercise)
school (if you have children or are taking classes)
barbershop/hair salon
and these are just to name a few of the places we frequent.
There are plenty of people out there who enjoy their daily commute. However, most people would much rather their commute be shorter or even nonexistent. Especially the evening commute. Most people just want to get home after work and not go somewhere else, like their therapist’s office. Engaging in online therapy allows you to do just that. Now you can go home right after work and do your therapy session there.
Save Time, Energy, & Money
It might be clear to see that you would be saving time not having to commute to an in-person therapy session. Now take a moment to think of all the other things you would be saving like …
Money
on gas from a said commute
Frustration
from driving in traffic and/ or searching for parking
Energy
from having to get up, get dressed, drive to an office, wait in the waiting room, get up, get back in the car, and drive back home
When deciding on attending online therapy or in-person therapy, ask yourself this…How would you prefer to show up to your therapy sessions? If you’re reading this, I imagine you would prefer to be…
at home
laying on your sofa
dressed in leisurewear
and not having to worry about getting back out there in the evening traffic to head home
