Online Therapy Ohio
Why Choose Online Therapy
There are many reasons why people choose online therapy. Sometimes it’s because the commute to an office is too much. Sometimes it’s because you are balancing the busy of your life. Sometimes it’s because you are on the go so much. Sometimes its because you are far away from accessing services. Sometimes it feels safer to start something new in a virtual way. Whatever the reason you want to try online therapy to help your mental health you are in the right place. Countless people are realizing the need to care for their mental health as much as you care for your physical health. Online therapy makes that possible and convenient.
What is telehealth?
Online therapy is often called telehealth, tenemental health, or technology assisted counseling. The terms are often interchangeable and mean the same thing and allow you to meet with a mental health counselor through technology. Clients who are comfortable with checking email, paying bills online, or using a video call would find online therapy comfortable and easy to navigate.

Online therapy can help assist you with managing depression, anxiety, relationship stressors and many other mental health concerns. It is a great way to make therapy fit into your lifestyle and your goals.
Finding an Online Counselor
When looking for a licensed counselor to do online counseling with you need to locate a counselor who is licensed in your state of residence. State laws require that your counselor be licensed or have board approval to provide services based on you (the clients) location. When you look at our list of counselors, please make sure to look for counselors located within the state of your residence.
If you are looking for therapy and reside in one of the major cities like Columbus Ohio, Cleveland Ohio, or Cincinnati Ohio or even still if you are in more rural communities such as New Albany Ohio, Springfield Ohio, or Delaware Ohio online therapy could be a good fit for you. While online therapy is not the same as in-persons counseling those that utilize it have reported success rates and benefits that you would see from an in-person setting.
Travel & Online Counseling
Some people may be traveling frequently. Initially try locating a counselor in Ohio where your primary residence is or where you will be spending most of your time. Some counselors are licensed in multiple states and could possibly provide you online therapy if you are traveling to locations where they can service you.
