People who choose cyber therapy can expect the same benefits as those who engage in regular psychotherapy at a counselor’s office. Cyber therapy, which is also known as e-therapy or online counseling, offers some additional benefits as well, including…
· Convenience. You can participate in Cyber Story Therapy in your own home or whatever setting feels comfortable and safe.
· Time savings. There’s no need to spend time preparing for your session or driving to the therapist's office.
· Feelings of safety. The cyber office is a secure setting. It is the perfect solution for those whose anxieties about driving or meeting new people would prevent them from participating in therapy in a more traditional setting.
· Fits your schedule. How much you write and when you send it is entirely up to you.
· Cost savings. Although the fee for cyber therapy is competitive with that of traditional therapy, cyber therapy eliminates the personal, political and environmental costs of automobile use generated in a commute to and from a therapist’s office.
· Ability to monitor children, pets, or others who depend upon your presence in the home, thereby eliminating the cost of hiring sitters.
· Increased emotional comfort for those who prefer the process of writing over speaking as a medium for conveying their deepest truths.
Cyber Story Therapy combines the benefits of regular psychotherapy, cyber therapy, writing and interaction with a supportive witness. It is easy to use and may be conducted in your choice of setting and at your own pace.
