The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Telehealth as the “delivery of health care services, where patients and providers are separated only by distance.” A therapist or counselor provides psychological counseling and support over the internet through email, video conferencing,   phone calls, or live chat.

 

Telemental health is useful to individuals who cannot leave their homes, who work unconventional hours, as well as those in different parts of the world. Benefits of telehealth include flexibility in your schedule, removing the need to travel to an office, the convenience of staying at home, and a far-reaching network.
