Welcome back to the blog of Mindset Therapy! The focus of this blog is to help you understand a little more about treatment via the internet and how it compares to more traditional mental health treatment in the office of the therapist.
We are currently living in a digital age, where services and products come to us. With the increase in technology, most items can be ordered via the internet and delivered to our door. There is no longer a need to travel to the fast food restaurant, home improvement store, or grocery store because all items can now be brought directly to you. Medical care, and more specifically mental health care, is also being conveniently delivered to the individual via the internet. An online psychologist is a psychologist that conducts the session from their office, via the internet. The difference is not in the services provided, but where the patient is sitting at the time of their appointment. Using your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you will log on to your Mindset Therapy profile to message your therapist directly, or access your secure video appointment that will allow you to see and hear your therapist from a location that is most convenient for you. Research has been conducted on the effectiveness of online treatment and it has been found to be as equally effective as more traditional therapist appointments in an office.
Your psychologist has been trained in numerous treatment techniques for a variety of mental health symptoms. Conducting the session over the internet does not change their ability to use these same techniques. In fact, with the advent of technology, there are several apps for your phone or tablet that are an excellent addition to the treatment process.
Online therapy is a new method of delivery for mental health services, however, the tools and techniques remain the same and lead to the same benefits as more traditional therapy.
