Benefits of Teletherapy
Teletherapy allows individuals to receive therapy from licensed therapists without the need for in-person visits to a clinic or office. Teletherapy has several advantages, including increased accessibility to therapy services, especially for individuals in rural areas or those with limited mobility. It can also provide convenience and flexibility for both therapists and clients, as sessions can be scheduled at mutually convenient times without the need for travel.
