Is Online Therapy For You? Your Questions Answered

Jessica Boston spoke to Marie Claire about the differences between in-person and online therapy.

What is online therapy?

According to multi-award-winning hypnotherapist Jessica Boston, online therapy is as simple as the name suggests: therapy but online. “It is the therapeutic process of the practitioner adapted so we can see clients from their homes through Zoom or Skype,” she shares.

Is there any difference between IRL and online therapy?

Aside from the fact that to visit a therapist in real life, you have to physically visit their office and to speak to a therapist online; it’s as simple as logging onto a Zoom call. Jessica doesn’t think so. “Truly working with clients online and in-person is absolutely the same, and there is no difference in results unless the client has a strong and fundamental belief that it makes a difference; generally speaking, there is absolutely no difference.” We all experience stress, anxiety, and other forms of emotional stress throughout the duration of our lives. Jessica encourages you not to overthink the matter. “You can identify when something is a problem if you feel like your behaviour takes over your life, consumes you, or controls you, rather than you being in control of your behaviour. A sense that your life is controlled by ‘other’ is a good indicator that you may need help,” she expands.
