When I was first approached…Betterhelp Once A Month…. to potentially collaborate with them on a youtube series among the things that was truly important to me as a psychologist was that I would have autonomy over what I spoke about what what subjects I selected to provide and likewise you know my own views when when required or appropriate to share them and I was given that by a they basically stated you understand we trust you as a scientific professional and

we’re gon na trust you to head out there and speak about what you understand and among the things that I truly wanted to address is the fact that I’m not just here to state that online treatment is the answer for whatever you understand I think it can be exceptionally practical for many people I’ve seen it myself working with people from a couple of months up to over a year and I seen how being able to message and also have video sessions with someone is truly a it

practically improves the the therapeutic experience in a way at the same time I have a private practice where I see people face-to-face and I thoroughly take pleasure in that and there are people that I see there that I wouldn’t think about seeing online either they wouldn’t be appropriate we wouldn’t be able to do the level and depth of work we’re doing or it simply wouldn’t feel comfortable and and that’s alright those two things can both be true and I think one of the important things that I wish to start to have people think about is there’s a place for both online and offline therapy it is really a matter of you understand choosing what’s right for you but also what’s most suitable for you with the help of an expert when I discuss specific therapy designs or techniques as being appropriate for you what I imply by that is that it would be the best method for

the particular problem that you’re dealing with and I believe that a person of the issues that a great deal of individuals have is that online counseling is trying to replace offline counseling and I can inform you 100% that that’s not true I have actually had numerous conversations with the creator of where he has actually discussed that his audience isn’t to compete with traditional practices or put psychologists or licensed specialists out of business his mission is to supply psychological health access to individuals who aren’t going to come into the therapy workplace and I 100% support that mission and I think it is very important and we have a problem with access
