Online therapy is often seen as the “new way” to connect with a caring, qualified mental health professional.
On the contrary, online counseling services have been around in some form for more than 60 years! The field has a long and rich history thanks to both skilled providers and researchers.
Today, ethical codes or statements have been thoroughly developed by professional organizations like the American Psychological Association (APA). These ethical guidelines aren’t new—they too have been around for more than a decade.
online and phone-based services have been especially helpful for clients who find that they:
1) Have few qualified counselors or coaches in their area
2) Feel uncomfortable meeting with a therapist in person
3) Prefer to connect with a provider from the comfort of their home (or office)
