e-counseling
Virtual mental support
E-counseling is mental health therapy or guidance conducted through electronic means rather than face-to-face sessions.
This includes video calls, text messaging, email exchanges, or chat platforms that connect clients with licensed therapists or counselors remotely.
The practice gained significant traction as internet access expanded and became especially prevalent during periods when in-person meetings were impractical.
She started e-counseling after moving to a rural area without nearby therapists.
