Online therapy is a form of mental health support a delivered remotely via the internet, typically through video calls. Also known as teletherapy or e-Therapy, it provides professional counseling services without the need for in-person meetings and can be used for conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. We use Google Meet but in some cases Teams or Telegram. All our clients have entrance to life support on WhatsApp, 24/7.
