When might it be ideal for you?
Online therapy is likely a good option if…
✅ You have difficulty adapting to in-person schedules.
✅ You live outside Girona or travel frequently.
✅ You feel more comfortable talking from your own space.
✅ You’re going through a moment of anxiety, blockage, stress, loss, or indecision.

How does the online therapy process work?
1.Initial contact and free call: Contact the professional or platform through a form, email, or call to briefly explain your needs. An exploratory therapy call will be scheduled, free of charge for 15 to 30 minutes to better understand your case, answer questions, and evaluate how therapy can help you.
2. Selection of psychologist: You will be assigned an accredited psychologist according to your preferences (specialty, therapeutic approach, or language). In some compatible cases, of course, you can directly choose the professional you want.
3. First session:An initial video call will be scheduled via Zoom Pro, a secure platform that guarantees confidentiality. This session serves to delve deeper into your situation, establish therapeutic goals, and plan the process.
4. Regular sessions:You will agree on a schedule for sessions (weekly, biweekly, etc.), with a duration of 60 minutes for individual therapy or 75 minutes for couples therapy. You will work on your concerns with personalized techniques and therapist support.
5. Continuous communication: Between sessions, you will have access to therapeutic homework (activities, exercises, or reflections) to reinforce the process. You can maintain contact with the therapist through secure tools.
6. Safe environment: All sessions are conducted on Zoom Pro, complying with data protection regulations such as GDPR, ensuring a private and confidential space.
7. Total flexibility: You can connect from anywhere with internet access, using a computer, tablet, or phone, in a comfortable and private environment of your choice.
This process is completely personalized, adapted to your pace and goals, with the same quality and professionalism as in-person therapy, enriched by therapeutic tools and resources that enhance your experience.

Is online therapy effective? Scientific evidence says yes
Yes, general scientific evidence indicates that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for many common disorders. American meta-analyses demonstrate the equivalence of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) via video call and in-person, reporting an “insignificant” difference in results. In particular, for anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the efficacy of the remote modality is comparable. These results are based on relevant studies such as Shaker et al. (2023) and Fernandez et al. (2021), which conclude a standardized mean difference (SMD) in efficacy of −0.01 and 0.01, respectively.
Key supporting studies:
- Shaker et al. (2023). Psychiatric Treatment Conducted via Telemedicine Versus In-Person Modality… Meta-analysis of 17 trials (n=1814) that found equivalence in efficacy for PTSD, mood disorders, and anxiety (SMD -0.01), with moderate certainty.
- Fernandez et al. (2021). Live psychotherapy by video versus in-person: A meta-analysis of efficacy… Meta-analysis of 47 comparative studies that found an “insignificant” difference between video-delivered psychotherapy (VDP) and in-person psychotherapy (IPP) (g = 0.01), especially for CBT in affective disorders.
- Cook and Doyle (2002). Working Alliance in Online Therapy as Compared to Face-to-Face Therapy: Preliminary Results. Pioneering study that suggested the therapeutic alliance (a key predictor of success) can be adequately or even better established in the online environment.
- Zandieh (2022). Remote vs in-person cognitive behavior therapy… Meta-analysis of 32 randomized controlled trials that concluded, with high certainty, that there is no difference in effectiveness between remote and in-person CBT for a wide range of conditions (SMD = −0.07).
- UCLA Health/NCHR (U.S.-based research) Confirm the equivalence of online therapy—especially CBT—for depression, anxiety, and trauma, and note that patient satisfaction is similar in both formats.
- Peterson et al. (2022). In-office, in-home, and telehealth cognitive processing therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder in veterans… Randomized clinical trial conducted in the U.S. that compared Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, finding comparable efficacy between in-person and telehealth formats.
