COVID-19 introduced Zoom online technology to psychotherapists, allowing them to maintain relationships during isolation and reach previously inaccessible distant populations, showing clear benefits.
The pandemic highlighted the advantages of online therapy, such as convenience for patients and therapists, increased access to care, and the ability for professionals to work from anywhere.
Despite the convenience of Zoom therapy, in-person sessions should be considered the gold standard due to the essential investments of time, presence, and interpersonal risk.
In-person therapy facilitates a deeper connection and understanding, as commuting to sessions allows for anticipation and reflection on emotions, something that online formats miss.
