Teletherapy or online therapy could be very, very beneficial and could help meet clients where they are at, even after the pandemic
Imagine having therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home. In this episode of 'The Beyond Addiction Show', Dr. Josh King sits down with Dr. Ashley Batastini, a seasoned researcher from the University of Memphis, to tackle a question on many minds: Is online therapy just as effective as traditional in-person sessions?

She also discusses why women might find better outcomes with online therapy and identifies who benefits most from this approach.
Plus, you'll learn how teletherapy can help bridge the gap in access to mental health services, especially for those in underserved communities. Whether you're a clinician considering adding teletherapy to your practice or someone curious about its potential benefits, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
