virtual therapy

Remote mental healthcare

Virtual therapy is mental health treatment delivered through digital technology rather than in-person sessions.

A therapist and client connect via video call, phone, or messaging platforms: I've been doing virtual therapy since the pandemic started.

Also called online therapy or teletherapy.

The format offers convenience and accessibility, though some find it less effective than face-to-face treatment.
