teletherapy
Online mental healthcare
Teletherapy is therapy conducted remotely, typically through video calls or phone sessions rather than in-person meetings.
The term usually refers to mental health services—psychotherapy, counseling, or psychiatric consultations—delivered over the internet: I switched to teletherapy during the pandemic.
It expanded dramatically after 2020 when in-person healthcare became difficult.
