Tools For Your Online Practice

In this section, we’ll look at some tools for practitioners who are looking to enhance their current mental health practice.

How Online Therapy Tools Help Practitioners

In general, there are two main ways that therapy tools can benefit helping professionals. Roughly, these are:

By performing or streamlining back-end tasks, such as practice management, marketing, billing, administration, and more, or
As platforms for online therapy – by allowing client and therapist to meet online, or by creating a space and resources that patients can use as part of their treatment.

These two broad functions cover a whole digital universe of solutions that can easily be customized to meet your requirements as a therapist.

It’s often possible to find integrated systems that offer both functionalities, allowing you to run your practice more efficiently while looking for new clients and reaching existing ones through one dedicated platform.

Examples of Online Therapy Tools in Practice

Some good examples of the best-known online therapy tools include:

Video conferencing tools. While essentially these are video conferencing platforms, operating like Skype and Facetime, video therapy tools for therapists often come with an added layer of privacy to protect patient confidentiality. This means that many video conferencing solutions are designed to adhere to industry regulations such as HIPAA and HITECH.
Instant messaging tools. Online therapy can also be delivered in real-time without video or audio equipment through live chat rooms. Often, specialized solutions offer private chat rooms where a user can leave messages 24/7 for their therapist.
Patient portals. A common “back-end” feature of most larger systems, patient portals give users a place where they can manage their sessions more proactively. By digitally booking sessions, filling out therapy intake forms, and more, both clients and practitioners can enjoy a more convenient treatment experience – and often, more quality time on the therapy itself.

Read on for our reviews of the top online therapy platforms and software which offer these capabilities and more.

Is It Effective? A Look At The Research

With so many options at consumers’ fingertips, the most salient question remains. Is online therapy effective?

In not so many words, academic studies provide a good amount of support for online therapy as an effective way to treat common mental health issues.

Several studies of Internet‐delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) treatments, for example, suggest that when online therapy is properly guided by a professional, it can be as effective as in-person CBT.[1]

Many others also indicate its positive effects in comparison to receiving no treatment at all.[2]

Researchers have found that therapist-guided iCBT, in particular, can have a sustained positive impact over time, delivering longer-term patient benefits.

How Is Online Therapy Used?

Looking at online therapy and particularly mental health issues, there is evidence suggesting that it can be effective as a way of treating:

Depression: Helping patients reduce the severity of mild to moderate symptoms through self-management [3][4]
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Again, helping to reduce symptoms through iCBT while also effectively benefiting patients with co-morbid depression symptoms[5], and
Social Anxiety Disorder: In this case, with one randomized controlled trial showing iCBT benefits matching those of in-person group CBT.[6]

Given its relative convenience and affordability, online therapy may also have sustained effects. Following up with participants over time, researchers have found that therapist-guided iCBT, in particular, can have a sustained positive impact over time, delivering longer-term patient benefits.[7]

Online Therapy vs Face-To-Face Treatment

Online therapy varies in several key ways from in-person treatment, as we’ve already mentioned.

But to make your basic comparison simpler, we’ve summarized some of these differences in a table.

Check out the similarities and differences below to help you distinguish between the two – in later sections, we’ll consider the research into the efficacy of each a little more closely.

Feature	Conventional Therapy	Online Therapy
Interactions	Can be one-on-one, couples, or group interactions between therapist and patient	Just like conventional therapy, these can be group-, couples-, or individual sessions
Timing	Sessions take place live (synchronous timing)	Digital interactions can be synchronous (e.g. live chat) or asynchronous (e.g. email)
Location	Conducted in a dedicated setting, e.g. surgery, therapist’s office Physical location doesn’t frequently change	Conducted in a virtual setting, e.g. chat room, video conferencing platform Physical location is flexible
Cost[8]	While all therapy costs vary according to practitioner and service, in-person therapy can average around $65-250 hourly	While still subject to variation, online therapy is typically lower-cost, and can start at $35-$39 per week
Accessibility	Often, due to travel costs and time required, this is defined by the user’s geographical proximity to a therapist	Digital treatments can have a global reach, including remote areas – anywhere with an secure and reliable internet connection
Media	Typically face-to-face only	May vary between video chat, instant messaging, SMS, audio calls, and more

5 Benefits of Online Therapy

Having looked at its goals and how it works, this table recaps the benefits of online therapy so you can make a more informed decision about whether it’s suitable for you.

Advantage	Details
E-Therapy Is Cost-Effective	Online attendance may save patients from the expenses of travel and potential time off work when treatment is made available from the convenience of home For practitioners, too, online therapy allows helping services to be delivered from any private place – not necessarily a dedicated surgery with all the associated overheads. (Manhal-Baugus, M. (2001). E-therapy: Practical, ethical, and legal issues. CyberPsychology & Behavior, 4(5), 551.)
Flexibility	With numerous potential applications from speech and physiotherapy to the treatment of diagnosed medical conditions like diabetes, online therapy is a potential solution for professionals in many specializations. This flexibility also extends to when, where, and how patients choose to attend therapy. Being time- and location-independent, online therapy affords greater convenience and mobility.[9]
Accessibility and Consumer Choice	Whether part of a blended care model or as a standalone solution, internet-based therapy can give users increased access to specialists who may not be available in their local area. Online therapy thus offers more treatment options for those in remote locations, with mobility impairments, and in economically disadvantaged regions where access to specialists is scarce.[10]
Effectiveness	While clear limits exist to its potential, scientific evidence indicates certain online therapies such as therapist-guided iCBT often have comparable positive impacts to in-person therapy for the treatment of common issues like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.[1]
Patient Retention	Largely due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and the privacy it can afford, online sessions can sometimes encourage patients to continue treatment for longer.[11] Patients thus have a higher likelihood of better health outcomes, while practitioners, too, can focus more on building longer-term relationships rather than seeking out new clients.

Looking At Online CBT

As you might have noticed, a large proportion of internet-delivered therapies are based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) theories and frameworks.

But what is iCBT? And how does it differ from conventional CBT?

What is iCBT?

Quite simply, iCBT stands for Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

The fundamental principles remain the same, except that with apps or platforms, users can learn CBT skills for treating depression, anxiety, and other conditions.

Given its popularity with online therapists and platforms, there is a decent amount of research into its efficacy. In many instances, a properly-implemented iCBT program is considered just as effective as conventional CBT in the treatment of certain sub-clinical mental health conditions.[12][13]

A goal-oriented, problem-focused framework, CBT uses techniques such as cognitive restructuring to tackle problematic relationships between:[14]

Thoughts
Feelings, and
Behavior.

The main difference between iCBT and regular CBT is that the former is administered online – below, we’ve used a Cognitive Restructuring exercise to illustrate.

Quenza CBT Online Therapy Apps — Using online therapy platforms like Quenza, practitioners can create individualized iCBT interventions to help patients manage mental health conditions.

Because iCBT solutions are affordable, convenient, and effective to design and implement with special online therapy apps like Quenza, they often play an integral role in Stepped Care frameworks. The IAPT initiative, for instance, uses iCBT as a low-intensity treatment for depression, anxiety, and stress management.

Patients working with iCBT thus learn to self-manage symptoms, cope better with problematic behaviors and thoughts, and generally, work toward better mental health at their own pace.

Examples of iCBT

iCBT has been useful in helping users manage, and improve, their mental health through:

Interactive games, activities, and exercises, e.g. daily tasks, challenges, and goals
Thought and mood journals, e.g. apps using the Experience Sampling Method
Educational lessons, which range from daily ‘bites’, up to full-sized courses and programs
Live sessions with online therapists.

CBT lends itself well to online therapy, as it can be delivered asynchronously as on-the-go techniques and tools in app format.

At the same time, therapists can also create courses and give engaging instruction in specific techniques through virtual sessions or multimedia.

Using Quenza’s iCBT tools to integrate a custom video, our e-therapist has explained a complex CBT concept for his patient in clear, concise, and engaging way that they’re more likely to pay attention to.

Online Therapy For Kids: Does It Work?

Online therapy isn’t just for adults, either.

When designed and delivered appropriately, scientific evidence shows good support for using virtual therapies to treat children and help adolescents, too, particularly when it comes to mental health.[15]

Online Kid Therapy Features

Online therapy games are arguably the largest and most widely available form of online therapy available to kids.

Often with age-appropriate tailored content and interfaces, there is a vast range of therapeutic games now available, designed to meet different developmental needs.

Several features to look out for include:

Human support required. Online kids therapy can range anywhere between fully self-guided programs, and those where the child receives support from a caregiver. Where adults are more involved, children may receive more motivation and encouragement to continue, as well as to apply any concepts learned.
Delivery method. As with adult online therapy, kids’ apps and platforms can be played on many different devices. Choose one that works for your child, based on their developmental phase and lifestyle.
Application. The way online therapy is administered – as a standalone treatment, or as part of a blended care therapy – can also vary. Some programs have even been administered on a large scale, as part of school mental health programs.

In short, online therapy can be a great way to deliver a more engaging treatment experience through interactive games, activities, and learning tasks.

With research backing up its efficacy, the question of whether it works will come down to finding the right app for your child. Many apps and programs offer free trial versions, so why not try them out?

4 Online Therapeutic Games

One of the great advantages of blended care technology lies in its fast development times.

New software is constantly being developed to meet changing consumer needs, and with greater demand for child therapy, there is an abundance of online therapeutic games available that work beautifully within a blended care model.

If you’re curious to try some baby steps into the world of online therapy – or if you’re looking for a game to supplement your existing program, check out the following games.

3 Training Courses and Certification Programs

Are you a practitioner thinking about adding online therapy to your professional portfolio?

Getting Started

To become a practicing digital therapist, you’ll need to become qualified through all the same pathways as if you were practicing offline.

Some platforms accept Masters-level therapists, while the full pathway to a Doctorate can be much longer[16].

Generally, you’ll need to consider:

Acquiring your license, as governed by the relevant agencies and regulatory bodies for your area
Completing a certain number of hours of supervised clinical education
Successfully completing specialty-specific certification assessments, such as exit exams for your state, and
Adhering to the legal framework around online therapy for your region.

Additionally, you’ll need to know where you’re allowed to deliver e-therapy. As there’s no current federal framework governing teletherapy, this often comes down to state and regional laws.

With this in mind, here are 3 training courses and certification programs that you can look into for the skills and theory you’ll need to get started.
