Virtual therapy is a widely accepted and increasingly preferred mode of mental health support, offering accessibility, personalization, and holistic support.
Advantages of virtual therapy include reaching individuals who may have difficulty accessing traditional in-person care, flexible appointment scheduling, and enhanced privacy through encrypted video platforms.
Digital tools like mobile apps and AI chatbots provide active engagement and support outside of therapy sessions, offering personalized interventions based on real-time feedback.
While virtual therapy has advantages, limitations include digital access inequalities, challenges in building rapport through screens, and ethical considerations surrounding data protection.
