While we have been doing some online therapy for years, covid-19 ramped up the use of virtual therapy across the world. You may have been used to going into the office and talking with your counselor, but once that was not an option because of covid quarantine, clients and therapists learned to adapt.

Research shows that your success in therapy is dependent on the quality of the relationships between the therapist and client. In other words, it is more important that you have a good relationship with your therapist than it is to find a therapist who practices a certain kind of therapy, has a particular training or certain credentials.

I often get asked by people who know me personally how they can find the best therapist for them. The strength of the therapeutic relationship will have a major impact on the success of your therapy. If you and the therapist don't have very good rapport, it can feel kind of like going on a bad date. It just won't click. But that does not mean you give up on therapy, or dating for that matter, it probably just means they were not the right person for you. So, how can you choose the right therapist?
