As busy moms, we often have entirely too many hats and plates to balance. We find very little time to decompress, very little time to take care of ourselves, and when we do have a conversation with another adult, it is about the kids. Many of us know we could benefit from therapy, but simply do not have room in our schedules for it.
Well, online therapy might just be the solution. You don't have to find a babysitter, the commute is not time out of our day, and it can be scheduled for our time- not necessarily office hours. How many moms would jump at the opportunity to talk with a therapist if they knew these options were available? Many of the moms I know would.
Here are 10 more reasons online therapy is a wonderful option:
1. There are more therapists available than in one community. You are more likely to find the one that works best for you.
2. Less Expensive: You are not paying an office visit, so that cuts down on costs. In many cases, an online therapist is a flat rate per month with unlimited sessions.
3. There are many forms available: phone, text, chat, email, mobile app, and video chat
4. Online therapists specialize in a wide range of conditions and life stages.
5. If you live out in the country or in a remote area, you still have access to therapy.
6. You will still have access to a therapist if you are on vacation or even traveling for work.
7. Great option for those with physical disabilities
8. Many people feel safer sharing darker things (suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse, abuse from a family member, etc) with an online therapist because there is a sense of anonymity.
9. You can even have couples/ relationship/ family counseling across distances.
10. You can even get a written transcript of your session so that you can more easily remember what the therapist told you to do and make sure that the issues were discussed.
