COVID-19 has forced us to look for new and creative ways to provide therapy. Though online therapy is not new, during the past year telehealth has become the one of the main sources for therapeutic support.
Telehealth refers to care given to a client by phone or online video chat. Teletherapy is used when the client and therapist are not in the same location and are using technology to communicate.
Other terms used for online healthcare: telehealth, teletherapy, telemedicine, telementalhealth, distance counseling, e-psychology, technically-assisted counseling or therapy, web-based counseling, cyber-counseling, and online therapy.
