Teletherapy has been around for decades, but it is only recently that this form of care has come into the spotlight. The convenience and comfort offered by teletherapy are two of the most important benefits to patients. Many people are drawn to this form of therapy because they can get professional help without having to be in a waiting room with other clients. For those who live in more rural areas, teletherapy offers an added benefit: it eliminates the hassle of driving long distances just for an appointment.
