Accessible therapy!
Accessible therapy! There was times when I needed to speak to a counselor while in a stressful situation. I could message my therapist while others around me were none the wiser to it. I had a therapist that was able to recognize my rougher days and adjusted communication frequency accordingly, guiding me through it. I was surprised as it was also a holiday weekend; I wasn't expecting a response until the following Monday or Tuesday. This instance may not be applicable to all but I was relieved my therapist responded quicker than I anticipated. For the weekly session, I had the option of video chat, instant message, or phone call. I used the video chat on both my phone and laptop and instant messaging once via my phone. It was pretty nice because one time, my therapist was traveling but I couldn't reschedule my appointment because I was booked for the week. Doing the instant message option was nice for both my therapist and I, keeping everything confidential despite not being at their normal office. Again, great accessibility. Messaged therapist nearly on the daily and had regular weekly appointments. I recommend it to my friends that find conventional therapy to be hard to access.
