How an online consultation works
An online consultation generally follows the same process as an in-person consultation. The individual and the psychologist start by introducing themselves and discussing the reasons for the consultation. The psychologist then asks questions to better understand the situation. The consultation concludes with a summary and goals for the therapeutic work.
Online therapy is an attractive option for individuals who want to receive psychological assistance without the need for physical travel.
Office-based consultations
