Searching For Online Therapy During Lockdown? Here Are 4 Platforms to Try Now - Vogue

We’re living in unprecedented times (it’s worth reminding!), and the pandemic has brought with it much heart aching loss, illness, and loneliness. Most of us need extra support when it comes to navigating all of these changes on top of any personal obstacles we might be facing. Leaning on family and friends via Zoom, or at a safe social distance, is one way of processing things, but calling on a more impartial, expert source of support like a therapist can provide a whole other level of stress relief. And while formerly in-person sessions are happening online, a host of new online therapy services have cropped up too, making appointments more accessible.

“Therapy is beneficial not only for people who are in crisis, but for those who just want to feel happier, more productive, and live up to their full potential,” explains Anna Pagava, head of PR at Calmerry, a brand new virtual therapy company. “In general, therapy is the thing that is often missing from our busy lifestyle. Working to become the best version of yourself requires a lot of self-control, self-knowledge, and hard work, and you can achieve more if you feel well physically and mentally.”

If you’ve been thinking about trying therapy for the first time or are looking to get back into it after a hiatus, it can be hard to know where to start looking. Luckily, there are a plethora of virtual therapy offerings available to make both quarantining and taking care of one’s mental health possible simultaneously. Many of these platforms also include community-based offerings to make the solo days a little bit less lonely. Below, find 4 virtual therapy companies here to help you feel your best.
