There were concerns about everything from privacy to credibility. But online therapy has become mainstream over the past few years. In fact, the abundance of online therapy sites and additional services being offered over the past few years has left many people feeling overwhelmed by all the choices. And it’s no wonder why.

Depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and even relationship problems can now be addressed with online treatment. It’s tough to sort through all the options, especially when you’re stressed out, battling depression, or feeling extremely anxious. Knowing whether online therapy is a good fit for you can also be difficult. So on today’s episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I explain everything you need to know about online therapy.
