Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of online therapy, showing that it can be just as beneficial as face-to-face sessions. Research published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that online cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is effective in treating depression and anxiety, with outcomes comparable to those of in-person therapy. Additionally, a meta-analysis published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders concluded that online therapy is a viable and effective treatment option for various mental health issues, providing similar results to traditional therapy. These findings underscore that online therapy is a legitimate and effective form of mental health treatment.
