Benefits Of In-Person Therapy

While recent studies have shown that online therapy is just as effective as in person therapy, there are certain benefits when you see your therapist in person.

Having a separate space specifically for your counselling. Maybe when you sit down with your therapist, you want a neutral environment exclusively for sharing and processing your thoughts/feelings. This can make it easier for you to relax and focus on yourself. At home it’s easy to feel distracted…you may see laundry you need to fold or worry that the kids might come home early. Even if you’re having a session in your home office, it may be hard to get out of “work mode”.

Seeing a therapist in person means that they have a better view of your body. This can be helpful in regards to picking up on body language, or even noticing if your appearance has changed in a concerning way.
