Online Therapy at Therapevo: Effective, Convenient, and Personalized Support
Can online therapy be equally as effective and beneficial as attending in-person counseling?
It is hard to imagine that an online relationship could be as good as an in-person one. And yet, research shows that online therapy produces the same results as in-person counseling1. Therapists working online can form the same close relationships from which in-person therapy benefits. The modalities that they use are just as effective, and the therapists attend each session ready to walk alongside you in this process.

By offering counseling online, we provide you with specialists who may not be available in your area, convenient meeting times, and the ease of doing therapy wherever you are comfortable. Online therapy is accessible and convenient for you, but what does online therapy entail?
What is online therapy like?
When life feels like it is falling apart, you need a good relationship with your therapist from the start. Online therapy at Therapevo does precisely that. Research shows that people who participate in online therapy initially report a stronger therapeutic alliance with their therapist than in-person therapy does2. In the end, the satisfaction with the therapeutic relationship evens out. But in a crisis, ensuring you are starting well is essential.
And start well, you will. Therapevo has been offering online therapy since 2010, so we have had practice streamlining the process before online therapy became more regular. They have figured out what works well and what does not, leading to a professional counseling experience from the comfort of your home, office, school, etc.
To begin with, the critical first step in finding a therapist who fits you well is a consultation, where we talk to you and help you find a therapist who we think would be a good fit. It is vital in therapy, and even more so online therapy, that you connect well with your therapist. Check out our therapists at OYF to learn about their skill sets and the issues they work with.
After your personal consultation, you would book a session with your therapist. You can find a comfortable spot in the convenience of your home or office, click a link, and join your first session. You will be greeted by a warm and genuine therapist who wants to connect and understand your story. From there, you and your therapist will work together to define the therapy process for you.

Now that the process of online therapy is a little less unknown, why people choose online therapy over in-person options may be more evident. However, there is still the question of effectiveness.
Does online therapy work as well as in-person therapy?
Yes, it does! Multiple researchers have found that online counseling works as well as in-person3. If you are coming to counseling, it may be because you are searching for something different.
Whether it is healing trauma responses, breaking habits formed by addiction, or personal growth, online therapy will provide support and outcomes for you.
While working online, therapists at Therapevo work much the same as in person. They are still able to connect with you in individual counseling or balance family dynamics in family therapy4. In addition, the outcomes are comparable to those of in-person counseling but without the effort of physically getting there each week.
Most importantly, therapists do not have to sacrifice their presence, modalities, or effectiveness when working online5. The therapeutic relationship is still invested in and as crucial to online therapy as in-person. There may be a screen between you, but that does not make therapy less effective. Plus, there are other benefits to therapy online rather than in-person.
What are the benefits of online therapy?
- Convenience
- Accessibility
- Location
- Flexibility
- Privacy
- Effectiveness
There is the convenience of attending online therapy. You can attend sessions from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere you feel safe and focused. Therapy should be accessible since your mental health deserves priority. If you are traveling or have to move, you can take your therapist with you, as your location does not have to get in the way of personal growth.
Online therapy is very flexible. You can take it with you wherever you are. As well, you do not have to worry about calculating the time and avoid the stress of commuting to a therapist’s office. You can enjoy privacy when you are in a secure environment that works for you. Confidentiality is a big part of therapy and is of utmost importance for our therapists. When they meet with you, they are in a secure office, so you can trust they protect your story as you share.
Ultimately, online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. One study examined existing research, collecting data from over four thousand clients. The research showed that the services provided and the outcomes achieved were just as effective online as in-person6.

Therapy at Therapevo and You
Online counseling at Therapevo is helpful for all types of concerns that you may bring to therapy, as your therapist is here to walk alongside you and help you with what you need. But you may wonder what online therapy looks like in a specific area. Here are some examples of types of therapy that work well online and why.
In marriage counseling, your relationship is the most important, but one of the more critical factors that makes therapy so effective is your relationship with your therapist7. When working with a couple online, the therapist works hard to engage and understand both parties. This means that the effectiveness of couples therapy is not impacted even though you are online because the unbiased mediation stays the same.
Another reason you may be considering counseling is because your relationship and/or sexual satisfaction has diminished from when you were first married. Online therapy will produce the same growth and results as in-person therapy, showing its effectiveness. However, Therapevo has an advantage as people who see therapists at private practices (such as Therapevo) often report increases in sexual satisfaction from therapy. If sexual satisfaction and connection are areas that you want to develop further, online therapy at Therapevo would be a good fit for you.
Maybe there has been a betrayal in your marriage. The trauma from that can make new experiences even more stressful and scary. Trusting someone is a lot harder when your trust has been broken by someone you love. Online therapy creates safety as there is space built into the environment, and you do not have to leave your safe spaces. Therapevo allows you to meet online in an environment where you already feel safe and comfortable.
