Providing counselling for psychological problems through the Internet is a
relatively new, unconventional yet effective trend. It eradicates the barrier
of geographical location and reaches a wide spectrum of people who would
otherwise not have good options.
Sessions with an
online therapist are
easily accessible using a stable internet connection and a compatible smart
device. Besides location, e-therapy also makes mental health services
accessible to those who might lack funds as it is quite cost-effective. In
addition, it gives you the freedom to choose from a wide range of experts.

Online Therapy
is available in three formats:
However, it is important to note which of these is most effective.
Chat sessions provide neither audio nor video and are far
from in-person therapy experience. That is why they are less effective.
During Tele counselling only audio exchange is there and no
video exchange, which is again less close to offline counselling. Thus it is
comparatively more effective than chat but less effective than video
counselling.
Video counselling is
the right combination of audio-visual and provides an experience closer to
traditional in-person therapy. We can rightly conclude that (video
counselling) is the most effective of the three. We cannot ignore the role of
voice modulation, tone, pauses and other parts of speech. Unfortunately, chat
sessions cannot accommodate that. While audio sessions or chat counselling
include para language features it misses out on non-verbal communication or
body language including expressions, gestures etc. Experts suggest that more
than 70% of our communication is nonverbal and thus cannot be ignored.
