Online counseling meets you right where you're at! ✔️ If you have neurodivergencies or disabilities, online therapy removes barriers such as: ⬇️ *
Social pressure - If you have social anxiety or feel uncomfortable with making eye contact, then the computer and distance offer a social buffer. 🥸💻
* Time constraints - If you're frequently in a frantic ADHD rush against the clock and you loathe getting ready with a passion, then you can skip several steps. 🏃🏼➡️⏭️
* Routine dysruptions - If you're autistic and have "leaving anxiety," you don't have to exit the comfort of your own environment. 🔂🙂
* Lower income - Forget paying unnecessary transportation costs. 💲😉
* Cancellation due to unwellness - If you are sick or chronically ill, you still have the option of seeing a therapist while resting in bed. 🤧🛏️
* Disibility and functional needs - If you live with physical disabilities or access needs, you don't have to worry about the extra frustrations of construction zones, unreliable transportation, or the general stress of navigating. 🫄🏿👩🦼➡️👨🏾🦯
* Scheduling conflicts - Have an appointment right after therapy? Welp, you can do both, back-to-back. ⌚️📣
* Chores - Have crap to do that wouldn't get done if you had to go to therapy in person? Well, now you can just do dishes or whatever while confiding the deepest darkest secrets of your soul. Please don't maneuver sharp objects or a moving vehicle while unloading your emotions in therapy, though. 🌜😱😭🥣🥢😂
* Unconventional times - If you're a late bird, you're in luck because many online therapists have more flexibility in the hours of day (or evening, or night) that they offer counseling given the time that they themselves save not traveling to an office. 🌕🐦⬛🪱🦗
* Difficulty with verbal communication - If you are Deaf, experiencing selective mutism, or have psychosocial fatigue, then you have the option of using type chat in the therapy meeting platform. 🧏🏼♀️🤭😶⌨️
* Sensorial overload - If you have sensory processing conditions, then you don't have to worry about the overwhelm of getting out there in extreme weather or the hustle and bustle of society. 🥶🤫😌
* Broader therapy options - If you find someone whom you really want to work with due to expertise, then seeing a counselor online removes locational barriers. 🧭🙂↕️
