6 Benefits of Online Counselling for Teens.

6 Benefits of online counselling for teens will be discussed in this blog. In the last couple of months, online counselling has seen a growing wave and that has also been as a result of the pandemic. It’s really been crazy to see how things moved very fast including business moving and using the online platform more often. It has really been a lot of learning curves for some counsellors as they have adjusted to doing counselling online as to still serve their client. For me, my practice has also adjusted and incorporated online counselling for children and teens since in person counselling at the moment is not happening. Some benefits for online counselling for teens include but not limited to;

1). Accessible Online Counselling for Teens.

Online counselling is beneficial for teens because it is accessible now and can be done from and anywhere. Living in a small community where you may not have qualified counsellors in that community, online counselling makes it accessible for teens to access counselling. Teens do not have to travel to another community to access counselling they can contact any counsellor and have access.

2). Convenient/Flexibility to Online Counselling for Teens.

Online counselling for teens is convenient because you can access counselling from anywhere and any place. Parents/Caregivers don’t have to pay for baby sitters, drive through hectic traffic, no travelling, or even miss work in other to schedule an appointment. Teens can get access to online counselling without having to miss school because of their appointment because of the flexibility to schedule around what works for their schedule.

3). Comfortable with Online Counselling for Teens.

Teens are comfortable with chatting online and also making friendship online, so this not uncomfortable for teens because they are already engaging in the online forum. In this pandemic period where it seems, that everything is going or going online, teens are already comfortable building relationships online and making it comfortable for teens to get access to online counselling and comfortable with it. Another benefit is that it reduces the feeling of being comfortable and anxious about face-to-face session and can also cut no-show for counsellors.

4). Different Options to Online Counselling for Teens.

With the different options available to teens, they can can benefit and have access online counselling through video, live chat, texting, and phone. The amazing thing is that the teens can decide with of this options works best for them.

5). No Stigma to Online Counselling for Teens.

No need for a teen to worry if someone will see him/her entering that office for counselling. Online counselling reduces that stigma because no one can see you access counselling from your home and no one can know where and when you are accessing online counselling.

6). Secure/Confidential to Online Counselling and Teens.

Online counselling for teens is secure and confidential because Canadian Certified Counsellors must follow licensing regulations and HIPAA regulations that ensure security and confidentiality.
