Digital Trends - According to a recent story in the New York Times,Â*psychiatristsÂ*and psychologists are turning to online video conferencing with products like Skype toÂ*counselÂ*patients. This method of treatment is designed for people who want more flexibility in appointment timing as well as prefer engaging with a therapist in the comfort of their own home. Using a video conferencing client like Skype also allows the therapist to charge less for sessions due to the money saved on transportation and officeÂ*expenditures. In addition, appointments are less likely to be canceled or missed due toÂ*inclementÂ*weather conditions, traffic jams or other delays.Â*This also allows patients to continue working with a therapist in case of relocation by either party.
