Benefits of Virtual Services

admin • 9 July 2024

At CBT Wellness and Virtual Services, we are happy to provide all of our services virtually-through phone calls or secure video chats-by experienced and trained health professionals. While virtual treatment options have been proven to be equally effective as face-to-face therapies, there are also numerous benefits in participating in wellness services through a virtual portal.

The benefits of virtual services include

  • Convenience
  • Accessibility
  • Comfort 
  • Flexibility
  • Privacy
  • Reduced stigma
  • Effectiveness 

The greatest benefit of online therapy is the convenience of having sessions in the comfort of your own home, thereby saving you time and money. This can be especially true for individuals with busy schedules, as well as for those who live in small towns or remote areas, have mobility issues where you may not be able to access services otherwise. There is also no need to arrange childcare or babysitting, find/pay for parking, coordinate public transportation routes etc. 

Some patients have also reported that they find it easier to open up and feel less stigmatized via the phone or video, than it would be in person. Many patients feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar, safe space while doing sessions. 

*If you do not have the luxury of a safe space at your place of residence, let us know and we are happy to discuss alternative arrangements that may work for you. 

Another benefit of virtual wellness services is the speed of operations. In fact, CBT Wellness and Virtual Services has no waitlists and can schedule you in for a same day and next day appointments. All clinicians offer free 15-minute virtual consultations. It has never been easier, safer, and more convenient to start your health and wellness journey!
