Is seeing a Psychologist via telehealth as effective as meeting them in person? Yes, and it has the added benefits of not requiring you to drive to an appointment, try to find a park, or let distance keep you from seeing someone who has the expertise that you need. “What we’ve seen is that telehealth is essentially just as effective as face-to-face psychotherapy—and retention rates are higher,” says David Mohr, PhD, director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, who has spent his career studying telepsychology and digital mental health (American Psychological Association website).”
