Does Online Therapy Really Work?

  • Let’s talk about online therapy, and what we can do to maximize that. Creating a safe space to have therapy is key. If we worry that someone is listening in on us we won’t be able to open up and benefit from therapy as much. I have had many patients and viewers tell me that they are doing therapy in their car or at the park a block away, or that they set up a comfy place in their closet with blankets hanging around them to deaden the sound. Whatever you can do to create that safe place.. Go for it.

    I just cancelled my subscription to an online therapy site because of this site. I am so grateful for this video because it made me realize what I was getting was not help. Especially after my therapist just dropped me because we had an argument. He didn't talk it out why I was feeling the way I was he just dropped me. I just wish I knew this before paying the money I did. Words from someone who is working on herself. Not all online therapy's work and if something feels off, don't ignore that gut feeling.

    Something I learned in therapy that helps me (when I remember it!) with negative thoughts is that we have a natural bias towards negative thoughts as a leftover from our evolution-ancestors. Seeing things with a negative bias helped them survive. That rustling in the bushes might be a lion after us, so better run away! Those who did, survived to pass on those traits, even if they were wrong about a lion in the bushes. I'm not explaining that very well but hopefully the idea comes through. When I catch myself knee-deep in negative thoughts, I ask myself 'where's the lion?' That helps me look at my negative thoughts with some distance and sort out where they come from and whether or not they have merit. (It usually turns out there is no real merit. )

    Having a garden has helped my mental health tremendously. I have been going through a lot in addition to what's going on in the world. In my garden (veggies and herbs) I feel closer to mature and TBH I feel a sense of control. I started 99% of the plants from seed and planted them where they are myself. Plus there's the aspect of nurturing something and gardening is good exercise. Whenever I feel overwhelmed throughout tje day zi just pop outside for a few minutes and pull some weeds or pirne some suckers or tie up some plants. Very helpful.

    I find that keeping a sketchbook is a great tool for relaxing, focusing inward, and feeling better. Some days all I do is scribble. Other days I glue stuff in. I also draw and paint when I am feeling more focused.

    I think two things that helped me a lot against negative thinking is meditation (the concept itself) and deliberate self-dialogue. Learning about meditation helped me understand that I shouldn’t beat myself up for having random thoughts or a wondering mind and that all I need to do is bring back my attention when I notice, and, though I have yet to consistently meditate, doing this over time seemed to have led to making that process easier. And I find that deliberate internal dialogue about where I want my attention to be has been one of the best ways for me to get focused.

    I actually love to see my therapist online, not only for both of our safety, but I LOVE sharing what my home is like, it gives my therapist more of an idea of who I am when I'm not in the office, and we share our pets as well. I also write down LOTS of sticky notes and I love to share them with them, because I forget to bring in my sticky notes with the good ideas/thoughts on them that I get from watching CZcams videos 😀😁✨

    I used to despise journaling but I started about 2 years ago and loved it. Some tips for good journaling that's worked for me:
    1. Try to journal somewhere quiet, calm and comfortable. Maybe this is in your room after everyone's gone to bed like me
    2. Listen to music. Music doesn't distract me as long as it's music I've listened to before. The music in the background helps me to think and gather my thoughts. I don't feel as rushed or stressed to write, music helps me write what's on my mind, go with the flow.
    3. Go with the flow. Your journal is your safe space. You can put down your own thoughts, feelings, and opinions while being free of judgement. This helps tremendously.
    4. Try doing this for a week. Then 2 weeks, then a month. I PROMISE it gets easier. You'll find your own style and it'll fit you. Keep a good schedule on journaling. For me I try to journal at least every other day. Setup own goals
    YOU GOT THIS!!!!

    Hi Katy, thank you for another wonderful video. I know it’s been hard to be productive these days but you still manage to do so. I’m so proud and thankful for you. I had one online check up session with my Pyschiatrist andI find it hard to communicate with her that much because I worry about my surroundings, if I am being listened to by anyone, if my neighbours are hearing all the things I say and they know about my situation. Also, I am becoming impulsive these days. Such a worse time to live.

    There is much research that online therapy is just as effective as the more traditional in-person therapy. The tools and techniques that would be used by a therapist in person will be able to be used online. There are few exceptions to this, and there are some therapies that must occur in-person. However, a majority can be successfully done online. If you are short on time, don't feel comfortable going into an office, or just testing the waters of therapy, online is a great option!

    Mine are back in person again but she still does telehealth for people that prefer that. When I was using telehealth I asked to have video calls rather than phone because I was becoming distracted too easily with just the audio. One thing that I found useful was to make sure I was talking with headphones on so that no one else could hear her talking - I knew the sound couldn't carry. Also I made sure all of my other devices TV etc were turned off because otherwise they were a big source of distraction. I did find that even though she could only see a really small part of my room I would make sure I had had a shower etc and made my bed (my sessions I was in my bedroom). These things meant that my mind didn't wonder while I was talking so I could focus on the conversation to get the most out of talking to her.

He also offers phone and webcam sessions, but I’ve never needed it. I’ve gotten what I need through is writing back and fourth. My therapist online is the best therapist I’ve ever had. He’s one of my biggest cheerleaders.

    I’m having a very hard time. In 1997 I was diagnosed with serious depression and anxiety. I worked part time in a school district, which I really loved. This was my 4th year. Rumors started going around about the schools closing before Easter break. We were told March 31st we would return. My last day was March 13th. Sometimes I feel so lonely. The way we are living right now is not normal for human beings. On top of that I live alone!!!!!

      Hang in there and know that you are NOT alone even tho it may feel that way. We are here and we hear you. This is a very hard time for all of us, and worrisome. Word of wisdom: Don't just sit and listen to the news or politics, it will bring you down (way down). Do happy things, things that make you smile, at least once a day. If your thoughts go negative, get up and do something positive.
      Exercise, clean house/ do laundry, rearrange furniture, play music or just play air guitar. haha. Make a card or a dozen and mail to a nursing home for others who are also feeling closed off and lonely and maybe scared.
      Tell your family members and/or friends how much you value them and miss them. Pay someone a compliment everyday, they're free! Be kind to yourself and stay strong. Teachers are so needed, and undervalued. Thank you for your past work with the kiddos - I bet they can't wait to see you again.

In the app we use, we have "breakout rooms" so a client can have a separate video session with the case manager for 15 minutes or so and then return to the group. It is keeping us open. The app has audio and visual

    i was going to therapy a lot last year but in the end it just didn't work out for me and now I'm at the square one again. i am... passively suicidal? is that even a thing lol, but yeah, I'm heavily depressed and i literally dont end my life just because i know how much pain its gonna cause to my loved ones.. and i do wanna get better, but these days everything just sucks. i dont even have a job currently that would keep me occupied and i cannot even imagine myself having a happy future, i am lucky enough to have a passive income that i worked hard for so now i dont have to stress about money for a while and i wanted to fix my mental health in this time of having a lot of free time, but everything just seems to get worse and with each day i feel like i care less about everything.
    love you kati, thanks for your videos! they keep me a little bit hopeful at least

    Thank you for the tips about self thoughts and journaling ( I want to do it more often since I like to draw along with writing.) I also want to do EMDR in person once I will be able to do it in person since I feel there are too many distractions at home and it feels like a barrier talking online in front of a screen and not having direct contact wth someone in person. In person therapy just feels better and once we have a COVID vaccine we'll be able to have Safer in person therapy and support group sessions. Stay Healthy and Safe 🤗

      Just looked up this Sanvello place online. You can see a distinct difference between websites from say goodhelp and this Sanvello place. how the site is layed out is a great indication to tell you what it really is they offer...
      Sanvello looks more professionally layed out, when the goodhelp looks a bit more gimicky. Doesn't take much to tell if you pay attention a little.
      How is your sessions going thus far though? I hope well. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

My books for me bear with me the man does get a bad rap any of the John Rosemond books they mostly for parents and how to deal with them they are my biggest triggers but for the homework hassle book you know not that I have any homework but to learn to my job train better. Cleaning house book kay Wells wyma that book is for me I need to learn to cook, clean a bathroom and to do laundry. I really wish they are personal hygiene books out there. I just got a book for driving crash proof your teen I never learn to drive I can’t believe how completed the book is.

    Hey Kati! Thanks so much for this video, I'm not doing online therapy but I am doing therapy over the phone for the first time and this was super helpful. I did want to request if at some point you could do a video about what to do when you're frustrated with your therapist. I'm with a new therapist and unfortunately this last session didn't go awesome because I barely had any time to talk about what I needed to talk about and when I did say something she got confused on what I meant and talked to my ear off about stuff that wasn't related to the issue that I was really trying to talk about because I didn't word things well. I'd really love to know how to deal with these feelings of frustration towards my therapist. Thanks so much! I really love your videos and they are super helpful.

    • @krisbailey7160
      @krisbailey7160 Před 4 lety

      Hi TK..I personally haven’t done it face to face, however, I’ve been doing it through a professional that I’ve done some prior face to face training with so going into it I’ve had confidence in their professional abilities. My EMDR professional has set protocols around setting up the environment (safe space and emergency procedures) computer requirements etc..These have to be met prior to the sessions. Those are some key things to look out for going into this. Personally I use a large computer screen with good audio in a nice warm & quiet room. That’s pretty much all I can say at this point and I would recommend talking to prospective EMDR specialists about testimonials if you’re unsure. It’s definitely been a life changing experience for me. Hope all is well and best wishes in your journey 🙂.
