Why Online Therapy Might Be Exactly What You Need (Yes, Even You)
Let’s be real—life is A LOT. Between work, family, endless to-do lists, and whatever fresh chaos the universe throws at us, finding time for therapy can feel impossible. And that’s exactly why online therapy exists: to make it easier, more convenient, and—dare I say?—even enjoyable (okay, maybe not enjoyable, but definitely less stressful).
Why I Love Online Therapy (And You Might Too)
1. You Can Show Up However You Want
Ever sat in a therapist’s waiting room, trying to look “normal” while deep breathing through an existential crisis? Yeah, me too. With online therapy, you can wear sweatpants, sip your coffee, and process your emotions without anyone judging your questionable outfit choices.
2. No Commutes, No Parking Drama
As much as I love a good road rage moment behind a slow driver, I also love not wasting time commuting to appointments. Online therapy means you get the support you need without the added stress of traffic, parking meters, or awkwardly trying to find the right office.
3. It’s Private & Comfortable
You don’t have to worry about running into your neighbor at a therapy office while you're about to discuss your deepest insecurities. (Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything...) With online therapy, you’re in control of your space.
4. Access to Specialized Support—No Matter Where You Live
Whether you’re in a big city or a small town with limited mental health resources, online therapy brings expert care to you. And if you need specialized support—like perinatal mental health, neurodivergent care, or trauma therapy—you’re not stuck with whoever happens to be closest to your zip code.
5. It Actually Works
Research backs it up: online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health concerns. And in my experience, many clients feel more comfortable opening up in virtual sessions because they’re in their own safe space.
What Online Therapy Looks Like at Forward Wellness
At Forward Wellness, we get it—reaching out for help isn’t always easy. But here’s the thing: you deserve support that actually fits your life, not the other way around. That’s why we offer online therapy for individuals, couples, and families, with a special focus on:
Reproductive Mental Health (pregnancy loss, postpartum struggles, traumatic childbirth, and everything in between)
Neurodivergent-Affirming Care (because masking is exhausting, and you shouldn’t have to do it in therapy)
LGBTQIA+ & Gender-Affirming Support (a space where you can truly be you)
Grief, Trauma, & Life Transitions (because change is hard, even when it’s “good” change)
Burnout & Compassion Fatigue (for healthcare providers, caregivers, and anyone who’s ever felt like screaming into a void)
We take insurance, can see anyone in Pennsylvania, we keep things accessible, and most importantly—we meet you where you are, whether that’s on your couch, in your parked car (yes, that happens), or hiding in your closet for some peace and quiet.
