What is Cybertherapy?
Cybertherapy is the use of computer technology to provide mental health services which are
qualitatively different than those provided in traditional in-person therapeutic experiences. In
cybertherapy, a mental health professional utilizes new forms of communication, made possible by
computer and internet technology; to offer services that until recently were not available. While this
approach is cutting-edge, it is based on the time-tested principles of the helping professions. However,
it provides the client with methods of seeking assistance that may either be uncomfortable or physically
impossible in traditional face-to-face therapeutic models.
While in-person psychotherapy is often the method of choice, the advantages of a cybertherapeutic
approach are unique and powerful. This approach can offer mental health services to those who have
limited choices in their geographical region, have limited time to drive to regular in-person
appointments, have limited mobility, and have limitations in their lifestyle that make traveling to a
brick and mortar office difficult.
