Although everyone has the right to apply for online therapy, unfortunately, we cannot say that online therapy is suitable and beneficial for everyone. Below are the situations where therapy with a therapist in person is considered more appropriate than online therapy:
- Clients who are prone to suicide
- Clients who harm themselves
- Clients who experience delusions and hallucinations
- Clients who cannot provide therapy conditions in their environment (For example, those who have to participate in therapy in a crowded and noisy environment, those who do not have a stable internet connection, etc.)
Except for the client situations listed above, if there is no exceptional circumstance, therapists do not see any harm in starting or continuing the therapy process with their clients online.
