What Is Online Therapy? Online therapy, also known as e-therapy,  e-counseling, teletherapy, or cyber-therapy, involves providing mental health services over the internet. Psychological services can be offered through video conferencing, online chat or messaging either as an adjunct to in-person therapy or as  standalone medium. In many cases psychological services can be enhanced with the use of technology, as it saves money, time, the need for transportation and can be done from anywhere around the world. With the use of technology in online therapy, psychological homework and keeping track of one’s progress become much easier and both drop out rates and homework incompletion rates lower significantly.
