Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at melissa@openbooktherapies.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes! Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for trauma and grief work.
For many clients, the ability to process difficult emotions from their own safe space actually enhances the healing journey. Virtual therapy offers the same evidence-based techniques and emotional support, while allowing you to stay in an environment where you feel most secure and grounded. Plus, removing travel time and accessing support from your chosen location means you're more likely to maintain consistent attendance – a crucial factor in trauma recovery and grief work.
Whether virtual or in-person, the most important factor is finding a format that helps you feel safe, supported, and able to engage fully in your healing process.
