What is Typed Therapy and How Can It Help?
Typed therapy, also known as online text-based therapy or e-therapy, is a form of mental health support where clients communicate with a licensed therapist through written messages rather than in-person conversations. This type of therapy can occur in real time via live chat or through asynchronous messaging, where the client and therapist write messages at their convenience. It is often facilitated through secure online platforms or apps designed to maintain privacy and confidentiality.
Key Features of Typed Therapy:
Flexibility: Clients can send messages anytime, allowing them to process and express their thoughts without the time constraints of a scheduled session.
Accessibility: Ideal for individuals who prefer not to meet face-to-face or who find verbal expression challenging.
Anonymity: It may feel less intimidating for some people, making it easier to open up.
Record Keeping: Both clients and therapists can refer back to written exchanges, which can be helpful for tracking progress.
Who Can Benefit from Typed Therapy?
Typed therapy is especially beneficial for:
People with anxiety or social discomfort who prefer writing over talking.
Those with busy schedules or irregular availability.
Individuals who live in remote areas without easy access to in-person services.
People who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in written form.
