Privacy and Online Therapy
Online counseling platforms use encrypted communication methods, but you need to protectyour privacy onyour end as well.

Set Realistic Goals Regarding Online Therapy
- Be realistic. Problems built during the course of years won't resolve in one or two sessions.
- Be open to what your clinician tells you. Be rady to try something new.
- Take responsability. The only. one that can change you is you.
- Set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely). Goals help guide therapy. Take sime time to set yours.
- Come prepared for sessions. Do your weekly therapy homework, write down anything you would like to remember during the session.
- Speak up! Don't be afraid to state what is working and what is not working with your therapist.
