online therapy
Digital mental healthcare
Online therapy is mental health treatment conducted remotely through video calls, phone sessions, or text-based platforms rather than in-person visits.
Also called teletherapy or e-therapy.
The format expanded dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic and has remained popular for its convenience and accessibility: I've been doing online therapy since I moved to a rural area.
