No, online therapy is not better than in-person therapy.
There are two options for seeking out a therapist that does online therapy sessions. One is to sign up for an online therapy platform like BetterHelp, Talkspace, etc. In comparison, the second is to email a therapist around you and see if they offer online therapy instead of in-person therapy.
These two options have subtle differences to them, which may include:
- Cost of sessions
- Ability to use insurance
- Scheduling options
- Extra services on top of a one-on-one video call
