Online psychotherapy
Online therapy has established itself as a flexible and effective way to receive psychological support. As your therapist I want to show you transparently both the advantages and the possible challenges of this format.
Your benefits of online therapy
- Maximum flexibility and convenience You can attend your sessions from anywhere. That saves time and makes therapy easy to integrate into your day.
- Familiar surroundings Some people feel more comfortable in their own environment and find it easier to open up.
- Continuity The therapeutic relationship can be maintained through a move, travel or other changes.
Possible challenges
- Limited non-verbal communication Certain non-verbal signals are harder to read over video.
- Crisis intervention at a distance In acute emergencies geographical distance can be a challenge.
- Technical requirements A stable internet connection and a quiet, private room are necessary.
Important information
Initial sessions take place in person at the practice
Please note: Initial sessions are generally held in person at my practice in Vienna 1070 (Neubaugasse). Only in justified exceptional cases (such as limited mobility or greater geographical distance) do I offer an initial session online. In such exceptional cases, please contact me personally in advance (by phone or email). Follow-up sessions can then be conveniently held online.
I aim to make the most of online therapy’s advantages and to minimise its drawbacks through careful planning and secure technology.
