What is Teletherapy?
Teletherapy delivers therapy sessions via video, phone, or text. Research consistently shows it is as effective as in-person therapy for most conditions.
Benefits
- No commuting -- therapy from your safe space
- Broader provider selection -- not limited by geography
- Greater privacy -- no one sees you in a waiting room
- Flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends
Limitations
- Technology barriers (reliable internet required)
- Less suitable for severe conditions or crisis situations
- Reduced non-verbal communication
- Insurance coverage varies
Complementing Teletherapy
Between sessions, use free tools like SatKarya for daily support: Manas AI conversations, breathing exercises, and community support.
