All you need for online therapy sessions is a private space, a device with access to a camera and microphone, and a strong WIFI or hardwired internet connection. A laptop with a webcam, computer, tablet, or a cell phone work well. Some clients find a quiet office, break room, sit outside, or sit in their parked car if they are doing sessions during the workday. Some clients find having headphones helpful for therapy to increase privacy. It can be helpful to quit or close out open apps or tabs on your browser to increase internet connection. 

It makes sense to wonder if telehealth or online therapy will be as effective, comfortable, and impactful as in-person therapy. Many people might wonder if they would be missing out on certain aspects or benefits of therapy if they are utilizing virtual sessions. Research has shown throughout numerous studies that virtual therapy is equally as effective as face-to-face counseling in treating most mental health concerns. 
Many clients have found telehealth to be even more comfortable than in-person sessions due to being able to be at home or in a familiar and comfortable environment. Clients ofen describe feeling more at ease and able to open.
