What Is Telepsychology?

Telepsychology—also called online therapy or virtual counseling—is the practice of providing psychological services remotely through secure video conferencing technology. This approach allows you to access high-quality mental health care conveniently from the comfort of your own home or wherever you feel most comfortable.

How Does Telepsychology Work?

Using a secure video platform, Dr. Somaia Mohamed’s virtual psychotherapy sessions closely resemble traditional face-to-face therapy appointments. You’ll simply need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera, and a private space. At the scheduled session time, you’ll connect virtually to discuss your concerns, set goals, and work collaboratively toward your personal growth and emotional well-being.

Is Virtual Counseling as Effective as In-Person Therapy?

Telepsychology is highly effective and supported by extensive research. Studies consistently show that telepsychology sessions achieve outcomes similar to traditional in-person therapy, especially for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and stress management.

Clients often find that the convenience, flexibility, and comfort offered by telepsychology enhance their overall therapy experience and help reduce barriers to consistent care.

How Will You Know if Psychotherapy Is Working?

It’s common—and completely understandable—to wonder how you’ll recognize progress in therapy. While everyone’s therapeutic journey is unique, there are clear signs that indicate therapy is positively impacting your life.

Here are some ways you can tell therapy is working:

You’re gaining clarity and insight: You might find that situations that once felt confusing or overwhelming now seem clearer, making it easier to identify your needs and set healthy boundaries.
You notice improved mood and emotional stability: You may notice fewer days of sadness, worry, or irritability, and more moments of calmness, contentment, and joy.
Your relationships become healthier: You might experience improved communication, fewer conflicts, and deeper emotional connections with your partner, family, or friends.
You experience increased confidence: You may find yourself making decisions more confidently, setting clearer boundaries, and treating yourself with increased kindness and respect.
You receive positive feedback from others: Sometimes people around you notice positive changes before you do and may comment on your improved demeanor.
