I offer online video-conferencing therapy, supervision, training and consultation in English and Portuguese. For more general information on each type of service please refer to the related sections above.
There are many advantages and reasons why people choose online services:
- More flexibility with the time that they can access services
- Reduction of time and cost of transportation
- Possibility of accessing the clinician of their preference and in the speciality related to their needs who might not be close to them geographically
- Many people prefer to be in their own environment as oppose to the clinic or more formal settings
- During periods of restrictions, online options are vital in offering services that would otherwise be unavailable
Although online services can be very convenient, it is also important to consider the disadvantages, such as potential difficulties with technology, lack of privacy and the limitation on the visual cue and body language. These aspects will be discussed with you and ways in which to mitigate drawbacks will be considered together.
