What do I want out of
Online Counseling?
Online Counseling?
What can you possibly want from telemental health, otherwise known as online counseling? The thought is nothing strange. Most people fall into such thinking once the prospect becomes a real possibility. There is actually no right or wrong answer to the question. The possible answers can be many. And while the nature of the issues can be similar – marriage and relationships, health, challenges as school or work, getting rid of the barriers of career and life goals, etc. – the finer details are different between individuals.
What can you hope to gain from it? This is the other question that you may likely ask before investing your time, hopes, and expectations into it. The common purpose is to enrich one’s life. Counseling online offers you the advantage of receiving your emotional/behavioral help from your preferred space – your home, office, car, etc. Teletherapy is a novel way of accessing counseling/therapy but has many advantages and is likely here for the long term.
In the Big Picture
The advantages of counseling come from the way it “… focuses on how people function both personally and in their relationships at all ages,” says the American Psychological Association (APA). This is accomplished through tackling the various emotional matters and other related issues. If you are feeling anxious, it would be practical to welcome counseling. Embracing it can be productive, instead of just taking it as a final option. Waiting and struggling should not happen when counseling or therapy is so easily accessible.
Counseling has many benefits. Aside from being able to address your current issues, it can also help you improve the quality of your life through working on your confidence and self-esteem, as well as in enhancing your abilities in crisis resolution and decision-making. Counseling can also work on the improvement of your social skills. If you find yourself with an unpleasant/pessimistic mindset, counseling can bring in positivity, motivation and hopefulness.
Similar to conventional counseling where you and your counselor/therapist meet in-person, telemental health is deemed critical in cultivating constructive change and development. It works because time is spent well, addressing anything that disrupts the natural course of your life. Its convenience and accessibility are a bonus that offers emotional support to those who have given up on help. Now, you do not need to brave the stresses of travel, leaving home and possibly being uncomfortable talking about your concerns in someone else’s space.
