Benefits of Online Therapy in New Jersey

Online therapy started during the pandemic and quickly picked up volume as a convenient way for folks to seek the support they need in the comfort of their own home. We find that there are so many benefits to being in your own home.

Online therapy is comfy.

Here at Serendipity Counseling Services, we have found that those who are able to have a safe and comfortable place in the safety of their own home, often feel more comfortable to be vulnerable with us.  I mean who doesn’t want to open up while petting their pup snuggled up right next to them?

Online therapy is convenient.

We have also found that it can be a convenient way for those with busy schedules to fit in therapy as they are running from school to practice, or between meetings at work.  It has made it easier for families to all be able to come together at the same time for family sessions and folks to do therapy after work, without having to drive down the Turnpike at rush hour!
