What psychologists really do. Tasks and functions to help in therapy – Online Psychologists

Go to the psychologist It is a personal decision that is usually made in privacy and in a thoughtful manner. It is not something that is needed impulsively, but rather it arises from the need to go to therapy when something in our life is not right or we are not able to control it.

Given the impossibility of resolving it within the family, with social support or individually, the intervention of a professional becomes necessary. In the case of online therapy things do not change, only the channel. The patient receives personalized treatment in each case from a online psychologist that serves well via video conference or chat.
