Online Therapy in New York Can Help
I have been providing online therapy since 2018 - yes, that’s right, two years before COVID. When I first began working at a group practice in NYC that offered video therapy, I had some healthy skepticism - could it really be as effective as meeting with clients face-to-face? I soon discovered that most of my clients made progress just as quickly as they did in person, and even preferred the convenience of connecting with a therapist from their own homes. By the time the pandemic hit in March of 2020, my clients and I were already had already gotten used to meeting over video. I haven’t looked back since. And it’s not just my experience; numerous studies have shown that telehealth is just as effective as in-person therapy.
Benefits of Online Therapy
Save Time with Online Therapy
You are a busy, high achieving woman, you don’t have time for train delays and commuter traffic to get to therapy! New Yorkers know that something has to be REALLY important to get you to leave your neighborhood in your free time. No need to rush back from your weekend upstate to meet at an office, or take the entire morning off to attend a 50 minute appointment. Online therapy provides you the flexibility to meet from wherever you have a comfortable and private space with a secure connection, whether that’s at home, in your office, at an airbnb or your parents’ house in the suburbs.
Access High Quality Care with Online Therapy
Online therapy allows you to connect to specialists from all over the state. Maybe you live in a small town in the Catskills where there isn’t much access to mental healthcare. Maybe all the specialists in your neighborhood have long wait lists, or there aren’t many providers of diverse backgrounds in your town or neighborhood. Online therapy allows you to see a therapist who may live across the state, but gets you in a way that someone more local to where you live may not.
Online Therapy is Highly Effective
Online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions, and many clients find it even easier to open up from the comfort of their own homes compared to the formality of being in an office. Virtual appointments offer more flexibility, making it easier to manage childcare, eliminate the stress of detailed planning, and choose the space that feels most comfortable and convenient for you.
Online Therapy for Anxiety
Online therapy is highly effective for treating anxiety. For many women, anxiety often comes with feeling over-scheduled and overwhelmed, making it hard to fit one more thing into an already packed routine. The thought of planning for a commute or navigating unknowns can add to the stress. Maybe you are a perfectionist, juggling an endless to-do-list plus plans and commitments. Or you struggle with people-pleasing, and in-person sessions trigger a fear of judgment or negative reactions. Attending therapy from the comfort of your home can ease these burden, helping to reduce anxiety about the process itself and making it easier to participate and open up. Many women find that discussing sensitive or triggering topics feels safer and more comfortable in their own familiar space.
Online Therapy for Postpartum Mental Health
As a new mom, your plate is already full—balancing feeding and nap schedules, running on little-to-no sleep, and sometimes just struggling to leave the house at all. Online therapy offers an effective way to address postpartum mental health issues like anxiety and depression from the comfort of your home, making it less overwhelming to take that important step. You don’t need to worry about finding a babysitter—I welcome you to have your baby with you during video sessions if that feels comfortable for you. Your time and energy are incredibly valuable, and eliminating the need for a commute can make a huge difference in your life. Online therapy ensures new moms have access to mental healthcare when it might otherwise feel out of reach.
Online Therapy for Cultural Identity
One huge benefit of online therapy is the ability to select a provider from anywhere in your state, focusing on who you connect with the most. If your surrounding area lacks therapists from your cultural or racial background or has limited providers from diverse backgrounds, online therapy opens up the opportunity to find someone who truly understands and resonates with you—even if they’re not nearby.
Online Therapy Throughout All Of New York
A significant benefit of online counseling is that whether you live in the 5 boroughs of NYC, further upstate in White Plains or Poughkeepsie, or out in Huntington Long Island, you can access therapy comfortably from your own home.
