As a BIPOC psychotherapist, you hold yourself to high standards because you have the best intentions coming into this career. Yet despite that, there's still a nagging feeling that you're not doing enough or you'd somehow get in trouble with CRPO. Psychotherapy is highly regulated so you aim to meet the standards and practice ethically. You do your research, ask around, review your notes, but you're still unsure and afraid. Not only are you navigating burnout and imposter syndrome, but you also feel shamed by some therapists on Facebook groups who seem to have it so easy and all figured out.

We are all human; our inner workings are similar and protective. What is different is our external pressures, relationships, and outlook that shape us. Stress can manifest in many ways throughout our bodies; it can be seen as crying, tensing, craving, changes in breathing and lower energy. Recognizing changes in our bodies is observable, however, detecting changes in our psyche can go unnoticed. These psychological changes can present as sadness, loneliness, hurt, or thoughts of defeat and fear. In therapy, I will provide you with a holistic and compassionate space to dive into your emotions safely.

It is not uncommon to feel disconnected from the people you love and trust when life turns upside down. When we experience turmoil or when thoughts become cyclical, it’s nearly impossible to live authentically or to even know what authentic is in that moment. It can feel like a roller coaster that you aren’t sure how to disembark or as if you’re living in a body that isn’t yours. We might experience the hurt alone but we don’t have to manage it alone. Allow me to be your ally, your confidante, your listener.

Life often challenges us with forced twists and turns. This makes it easy for us to doubt our decisions and ability to overcome uncertainty. Despite our best efforts to be resilient, both positive and difficult events can change our sense of identity. This often brings about anxiety, depression, confusion and sometimes hopelessness. If you question whether you should have done something different to prevent you from going through what you are right now, perhaps therapy could be a helpful place for you to make new appropriate changes and find value and growth opportunities.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
