Whether you’re participating in one-on-one counseling, family therapy, group sessions, or online therapeutic gaming, sessions are conducted in real time with a licensed or supervised clinician and follow the same ethical and clinical standards as in-person care.
Online therapy is not a lesser form of therapy, it is simply a different delivery method, one that offers greater flexibility and accessibility for many clients.
