virtual counseling
Remote mental support
Virtual counseling is mental health therapy or guidance conducted through digital means—video calls, phone sessions, or text-based platforms—rather than in-person meetings.
The practice expanded dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic: I've been doing virtual counseling since the lockdowns started.
Also called online therapy, teletherapy, or e-counseling.
