Yes, despite initial concerns, research consistently demonstrates the effectiveness of online therapy for mental health. A 2014 study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, found that online therapy was as effective as face-to-face treatment for depression. Additionally, a 2018 study in the Journal of Psychological Disorders concluded that online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective, acceptable, and practical form of healthcare. The study showed that online CBT is equally effective as face-to-face treatment for major psychological symptoms.
