Hello Authentic Mental Health Community❤️
Have you tried online therapy before?

[abbysworld]

I tried online therapy one time so far and only once since I haven’t had an appointment set up since I think December so the distance part is the truest one

[avareed]

I have 8/8 on depression and 7/8 on anxiety. And I haven't talked to anybody about it.

'Eupathy', it was helpful for me. Would love to talk about 'Eupathy'. Eupathy provides professional support from licensed therapists to people suffering from anxiety, depression, stress and health issues.

But no eye contact.. only profile picture.. Its a big step down in terms of quality.

I don't think a therapist can outperform the science that supports it. And all the Youtube therapists don't seem to know answers for things like comorbidity. I don't have any great answer. But I also wouldn't pretend to counsel people. If I had the goal, I might qualify to be licensed, but I am unsure about a lot of the answers. Therapy began as a "technique" a century ago. Maybe free association had some validity to "find your own answers", but the actual roots of problems should be better understood. Pop psych as in "pull your own strings" was a fad. I heard Albert Ellis speak on rational emotive therapy. It somewhat was an attack on mental illusions. So it comes back to virtual help is limited by the base of knowledge. That base is not solid as rock.
