  With 2020 beginning, many of us have goals in mind, or we want to improve our health. No matter your resolution, be it generic or unique, giving online therapy a go in 2020 is a smart move to make. Here’s why.

What is Online Therapy?

This is any service led by licensed therapists that lets you receive therapy remotely. Whether you’re texting a licensed therapist, going on a video chat with them, or exchanging emails, online therapy covers all these bases. Lately, it’s seen as a worthy alternative to traditional therapy due to its convenience and flexibility.

How it Can Help

Now, let’s explain some reasons why it can help you succeed in life.

It Can Hold You Accountable

We all know the benefits of exercise. Besides losing weight, working out can help with stress, depression, and has some anti-aging properties. However, there are many people who end up failing their exercise plan. Therapy allows you to learn why you fail, how to hold yourself accountable without beating yourself up too much, and you can learn what you can do better in the future.

It’ll Help With Mental Roadblocks

Often, we have mental roadblocks that prevent us from succeeding in life. If we want to build a business, our worries of failure can prevent us from doing so. If we’ve experienced a tremendous loss, such as grief, it can be hard to function. Therapy looks at your mental roadblocks and figures out ways to get past them, or maps out a few detours you can take to make it to the same destination.

Online Therapy Can Lead to Jobs

Because online therapy or counseling involves working from your own home, it’s much easier for people who have degrees to find jobs as online therapists or counselors. Before, you would have to build your own clinic or have to deal with the gatekeeping of a firm. Now, as long as you have the credentials, you can make a living as an online therapist.

Online Therapy Keeps Your Mind Sharp

Another reason why therapy or online therapy is essential is because it keeps the mind going. When you’re aging, or you just want to keep your mind strong for the future, therapy can help. Learning mindfulness techniques, how you can cope with a depressive or anxious episode, and figuring out how to cope with a mental illness are just a few ways therapy can help.

Therapy Helps You Sleep at Night

For 2020, it’s time you get more sleep, if you haven’t done so already. Many people around the world are burning the midnight oil, and that’s not a good thing if you aren’t getting a full night’s sleep on average. Different people have different needs, but many aren’t getting enough. This can lead to mental health problems in the future. There are many ways you can sleep better. Improving your sleep hygiene is one way. Clearing your mind and unwinding before bed is good. Keep your phone down and do something that doesn’t stimulate you. With that said, if you’re still having a problem getting some rest, there may be an underlying reason, and a therapist can help. With cognitive behavioral therapy, you may be able to get a better night’s rest without the need for sleeping pills.

It’s Cheaper and More Flexible

Many people don’t go to therapy because of the cost, or because they are so busy. These are two valid reasons, but online therapy has made it easier. With online therapy, you can receive free trials, do a pay as you go plan, and find a therapist that matches your schedule. Getting the help you need is vital if you want to do the best you can in 2020, so get out there and make sure your therapist is up to the task. Therapy should be anyone’s resolution, not just one for New Year’s, but a new year always gives you some incentive. Make sure that you get the help that you need, and learn to improve yourself with each passing year. We wish you luck on your journey to improved mental health.
