How do I choose the right online therapist?

Choosing the right online therapist is key to a successful therapeutic outcome and can be facilitated through thoughtful pre-therapy research and consultation with potential therapists. Clients can help narrow down the search for an online therapist by searching for professionals that specialize in their specific condition, such as anxiety, trauma, or substance use disorders. Further, clients who are interested in a specific therapeutic modality, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy for trauma, can often conduct searches for therapists who specialize in that modality or visit professional organization websites that may list therapists who have special training in that therapeutic modality. After identifying a therapist who may be a good fit based on their specialty and therapeutic approach, clients should schedule an initial consultation with the therapist to ensure that their interaction style and personality are a good fit; many therapists will offer initial phone consultations for free or at a low cost to help clients ensure they are a good match.
