Your Questions Answered
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person Therapy?
Online therapy provides unparalleled convenience and flexibility, allowing you to connect with a licensed therapist from the comfort and privacy of your own home. This can be particularly beneficial during times of transition, when your schedule may be hectic or you may feel emotionally vulnerable. Through secure video sessions, you can receive the same quality of care as traditional in-person therapy, with the added benefit of easy access and reduced travel time.
What are the different types of therapy available at Manhattan Psychological Services?
Our Clinicians utilize evidence based therapy approaches. This means we ground our work in what has been proven to lead to significant improvement. Beyond the well-known Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), we use other approaches as well, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. All have proven positive results and each offers unique tools and perspectives for managing depression. The best approach depends on your individual needs, preferences, and the root causes of your depression. Our Expert Therapists at Manhattan Psychological Services can help you assess the options and determine the most effective path.
