Online therapy
I have been using online therapy for the past seven years.
It can take less time for my patients to be away from their workplace or home, saving time in public transport or worrying about traffic. It is also the only possibility for patients who want to have therapy with me because of my extensive clinical experience and attachment orientation and live in different parts of the world.
Some people with chronic illnesses or disabilities may not be able to drive or be easily able to leave their home. In these situations, online therapy may be their only option for help.
In a digital era, when more and more people are using email, webinars and WhatsApp to communicate, it may seem more comfortable or easier to have online therapy.
Online therapy became widespread during the pandemic, after which there has been a revival of face-to-face therapy. I am aware that many patients and therapists prefer in-person therapy for valid reasons. However, online therapy remains an equally effective option for many, in many cases the only option.
In fact, I have been fortunate to offer treatment and supervision across international borders and cultures, taking into account time conversion.
In recent years some studies and books on online therapy have been published. I have written the preface of one of these books, published in Spanish (the authors being Bastos, Czalboski and Roberti; Psimatica Publishers).
I obtain payments through bank transfer or PayPal. Fees are negotiable.
