Teletherapy

Teletherapy is the delivery of psychological or psychotherapeutic services through information and communication technologies, including videoconferencing, telephone communication, and secure online platforms. It enables mental health professionals to provide assessment, counselling, psychotherapy, and follow-up care remotely while maintaining professional, ethical, and clinical standards.
Research indicates that teletherapy is an effective intervention for anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health conditions, particularly when face-to-face treatment is inaccessible.
Teletherapy has become an essential component of modern mental healthcare by increasing accessibility, reducing geographical barriers, and ensuring continuity of psychological support during emergencies, pandemics, and humanitarian crises.
