CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS TO ONLINE COUNSELLING
For many, meeting with a therapist over video or phone chat can sound like an awkward, unnatural experience. Counseling is a personal experience – won’t it feel weird to meet through a screen? Wouldn’t it be weird for my therapist to see me at home? What if someone in my house overhears my conversation? In this already stressful period, meeting with a therapist online can seem like an extra challenge on top of everything else.
Online counseling is something most of us have never tried! As humans, meeting in person is the natural way to do things. Technology can feel like a weird barrier to having a meaningful counselling session. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be a strange experience. In fact, many people prefer the online format, since they can meet from the comfort of their couch, bed, or wherever!
BELOW ARE SOME COMMON CONCERNS AND SOLUTIONS OUR CLIENTS HAVE FOUND MOST HELPFUL.
USING TECHNOLOGY FOR SOMETHING SO PERSONAL IS NEW FOR ME. WHAT IS IT REALLY LIKE TO DO VIDEO COUNSELLING SESSIONS?
Meeting through a screen is certainly a new experience for most of us, including counsellors! However, we have found that once clients try the video sessions, they have found it to be a positive experience.
One key reason is that clients are in their own homes, rather than in a therapy room. For most people, being at home feels safe and comfortable. This might help you become more relaxed in the overall therapy process, and find new areas you want to explore. In this way, meeting online might actually make your sessions more effective in some ways than meeting in person.
This is a new experience for all of us, but with a tiny bit of patience, it can be just as rewarding as meeting in person.
THIS IS A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US BUT WITH A TINY BIT OF PATIENCE, IT CAN BE JUST AS REWARDING AS MEETING IN PERSON.
WHAT IF SOMEONE OVERHEARS MY SESSION?
This worry makes a lot of sense, especially since most of us are in close quarters with other people.
We recommend finding a quiet, private space in your home, such as your bedroom.
Some of our clients also go for a walk during the session. This can be a good solution since it allows you to get some exercise and space for yourself, in addition to the counselling session.
You can even get creative and use a closet or a room that doesn’t get used much. Any low-traffic area is best, so that you can feel fully present for the session. In addition to these strategies, letting others know that you’ll be busy for the length of the session helps to prevent interruptions.
If you feel comfortable, let others know that you will be in a counseling session, so that they know not to disturb you. Headphones are also a great idea in keeping the session private.
ARE THE VIDEO SESSIONS PRIVATE, EVEN IF THEY ARE OVER THE INTERNET?
In a word – yes! We have carefully chosen a secure, private, and confidential video platform whose parameters adhere to the ethical standards of our licensing bodies (such as the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers). Only you and your counsellor will have access to the session.
How I’ve Been Coping
Even for us counsellors, this feels like a strange time. I myself have noticed that COVID-19 has impacted my mental health. I have had to readjust my expectations of myself and change the way I do things day to day. There are moments when it is hard to stay hopeful and patient in the face of so much uncertainty and change. For me, I focus on three things: feeling in control, being a friend to myself, and focusing on staying present.
