The short answer
Yes. A large body of research finds that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for most common concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use counseling. What matters most is the relationship with your therapist, not the room you are in.
What the research shows
Study after study reports similar outcomes for video and in-office sessions, especially for talk therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy. People stick with online care too, partly because it removes the drive and the waiting room.
When in-person may be better
Someone in an active crisis, or a situation that calls for hands-on care, may need in-person or a higher level of support. A first session is the best way to decide which fits you.

Frequently asked questions
Is video therapy right for everyone?
Most people do well with it, but someone in crisis or needing hands-on care may need in-person support. A first session helps decide.
Will my therapist still get to know me over video?
Yes. A strong working relationship forms over video much as it does in an office.
Is online therapy covered by insurance in Nevada?
Usually yes, on par with in-person visits for most plans and Medicaid.
