Online psychotherapy
Online psychotherapy is just like in the case of psychotherapy and face-to-face counseling, and with online zoom/skype psychotherapy, it is a psychotherapeutic process. During the initial meeting with the therapist, you will decide whether this way of working is beneficial for you. Although some of you may decide to continue the therapy online, after the epidemic you will have the option to continue the therapy face-to-face at the Trešnjevka or Dubrava location in Zagreb.
As with face-to-face work, privacy is extremely important. We work in a secure, private environment without interruption. The client is also responsible for ensuring privacy in their environment during zoom/skype therapy.
Although Zoom/Skype psychotherapy offers more flexibility with timing and scheduling, you are expected to be as dedicated to your online therapy as you would be to face-to-face therapy.
Online psychotherapy and technology
Technology can contribute to the evolution of the way people receive psychotherapy or work with a psychologist. Researchers are very interested in telepsychology and telehealth, evaluating how well it works, especially compared to in-person psychotherapy sessions in a doctor’s office. But, like technology, research is still new and there is much that science does not yet know.
With a click of the mouse or the tap of an app, you can have instant access to a therapist, and thus take advantage of many new tools and technologies that aim to bring psychotherapy from the therapist’s office to any location. Using the web can be convenient for many people who use the internet to seek help.
Online communication is very convenient for many people, especially younger adults or those who use technology frequently. More people are using webinars, and it may seem more comfortable or easier than talking to someone in person, especially when personal or private information is revealed.
