Yes - studies have shown that for a lot of issues, online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy (it’s even been found to be more effective than in-person sessions for certain mental health issues).

The convenience of online therapy means it is more accessible, easier to arrange around your day-to-day schedule, and it can open up a lot more options. If you live in an area where in-person therapy is usually very expensive, or where there simply are not many therapists available, you will likely be able to find suitable options offering online sessions.

Looking into online therapy also opens up a lot more options in terms of specialist support. If you cannot find a therapist locally who specialises in a certain issue or type of therapy, you will likely be able to find suitable therapists based elsewhere who offer online sessions, allowing you to find the best possible fit for your individual needs.
