Teletherapy Is Here to Stay

The doctor is inyour living room! In todays world, teletherapy (a virtual session with a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a counselor) has become widely available. And clearly, there is a need for it. In the United States, for instance, approximately 25% of the population experiences a mental health disorder during a given year and 50% in their lifetimes. (Taylor et al., 2020, p. 2) The recent pandemic has undoubtedly added to those percentages. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that people are turning to teletherapy to help manage mental health issues more effectively and more conveniently.

The concept of using video for psychiatric treatment is not new. For example, in 1959, the Nebraska Psychiatric Institute first used videoconferencing (CBS Sunday Morning, 2020). However, there were two main obstacles that kept this type of therapy from gaining a foothold in our society. First, doctors were required to see patients, and reimbursement was an issue. After the start of the pandemic, the government changed these requirements, allowing doctors to bill for telehealth sessions the same way they do for office visits (Bednar, J., 2020). This has made telemedicineincluding teletherapymuch more accessible to the American public.

However, the question remains: Does teletherapy work? According to Dr. Jeffrey A. Lieberman of the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, there is substantial evidence that indicates the effectiveness of teletherapy (CBS Sunday Morning, 2020). Even with this data, there remains concern about educating target populations about the availability of teletherapy. According to Taylor et al., to increase reach, the next optimization strategy might be to add the use of targeted Facebook advertisements, followed by using both targeted Facebook and Google advertisements (p. 2). While Facebook and Google advertisements may be effective, they can also be quite pricey. Alternate approaches, such as web-based screening and direct emails, may be used to increase outreach (Taylor et al., 2020).

Even with increased outreach, some may feel uncomfortable using teletherapy; this may be particularly true for those who are accustomed to the more traditional face-to-face setting in a psychiatrists office. In addition, therapeutic relationships can be quite complex, and the information shared is sensitive. There may be concerns about privacy and security issues as well. HIPAA compliance is another area that needs to be further researched. However, teletherapy can be a lifeline for individuals who need counseling but cannot or would prefer not to visit a counseling center. Issues such as concern about social stigma, scheduling conflicts, geographical limitations, or disability may also keep individuals from reaching out for help. For these individuals, teletherapy can offer a safe alternative, and it may even save lives (Therapy for the Snapchat Generation, 2020).
