How Zoom Therapy Really Works: A Gentle Guide to Your First Online Session

If you’re new to online therapy, you might wonder:

  • Will it feel awkward?
  • Will I connect with the therapist?
  • What if my internet freezes at the worst possible moment?

These concerns are completely normal.

The truth

Zoom therapy is surprisingly natural. Most people adjust within minutes.

What you’ll need

  • A quiet space
  • Stable internet
  • A device with camera + microphone

What the session feels like

Think of it as sitting in the same room — just with a screen between you.
You still talk, reflect, explore patterns, and process emotions.

Why it works

Research shows online therapy can be just as effective as in-person treatment for many conditions.
