What is online therapy?

Generally, online therapy is convenient, flexible, secure, and effective. Dr. June‘s goal is to provide best online therapy in Chinese and English. The online therapist team is licensed to provide virtual counseling services for people in New York, California, Florida, New Jersey, Maryland, and Vermont.
Who Benefits from Virtual Therapy?
Overall, virtual counseling will work the best for you if you
- work from home;
- are restrained at home during difficult times such as quarantine,
- are a busy professional,
- travel frequently,
- find it difficult to see an expert Chinese psychologist in your local area,
- have mobility limitations,
- prefer to receive therapy in the privacy and comfort of your own home,
- an expat, or
- live in another country and find it more beneficial to have high-quality e-sessions with an expert multicultural psychologist.
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-person Therapy?
Research shows that virtual therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person therapy, especially, in treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma. Compared to in-person clients, Teletherapy clients reported improved mental health as well as similar levels of overall satisfaction and comfort.
For certain clients, virtual therapy is even a better option. For example, people with social anxiety may find it easier to talk to a stranger in a Zoom therapy session. Other people may find it difficult to commute to therapist’s office, such as a mother with little children at home. Still, some people may feel it is safer and more convenient to receive teletherapy. Specifically, some may have concerns about safety in a neighborhood with a high-crime rate, many people during the time of Asian hate, or during the pandemic.
Similarly, another study found that the effectiveness of online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or online CBT therapy) and in-person CBT were equally effective at reducing depression. In both the two methods, those who stayed in therapy the longest had the greatest benefit in reducing their depression.
