One of the most important parts of whether therapy “works,” is the relationship between client and therapist. If you are going to invest your time and energy in counseling, you want someone who is a good match for you. You need to see someone who you trust. Likewise, you need to talk to a therapist who can help with the specific mental health concerns you have.
Some parts of the state have lots of therapists that specialize in a specific issue. Larger cities like New York City has a lot of options to choose from. But, finding someone who specializes in trauma or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), couples counseling, etc. in a smaller city could be difficult. It’s important to find someone that specializes in the specific issue you are having. Additionally, it is important to find a therapist that you connect with. In a smaller city, you might not be able to reach one or both of those goals.
That’s where online counseling makes all the difference. Online counseling gives you more options to find a therapist who is a good fit for you.
