What Is Online Therapy (Telehealth)?
Online therapy — also called telehealth therapy, virtual therapy, or teletherapy — is psychotherapy delivered through a secure video platform instead of an in-person office. The session looks and feels like a regular therapy appointment: you and your therapist, face to face, in a confidential space.
“Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues — often with better outcomes because clients feel more relaxed at home.”
What We Treat Online
Every service we offer in our Short Hills offices is available via telehealth — no exceptions:
- Anxiety & Depression — CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches for managing anxious thoughts and low mood
- Trauma & PTSD — EMDR and trauma-focused therapy delivered safely and effectively via video session
- Couples Therapy — Both partners join from wherever they are, whether the same room or separate locations
- Teen & Adolescent Therapy — A private, comfortable space for teenagers to open up, often easier from home
- Mindfulness & Yoga Psychology — Our unique eastern-meets-western approach works beautifully online
- Family Therapy — Connect multiple family members across different locations in one secure session
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person?
At Light Street Psychotherapy, we believe the best therapy is the one that works for you. We offer both in-person sessions at our Short Hills offices and online therapy via telehealth — and both deliver the same quality of care.
Research from the American Psychological Association confirms that telehealth therapy produces outcomes equal to in-person sessions for:
- Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
- Major depressive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Relationship and couples issues
- Adolescent mental health challenges
For many clients, meeting face to face in our office creates the deepest sense of connection and safety. For others, the flexibility of joining from home makes it easier to show up consistently — and consistency is one of the biggest drivers of progress in therapy.
Whether you choose to sit across from your therapist in our Short Hills office or connect virtually from your living room, you will receive the same compassionate, personalized care. What matters most is that you feel comfortable, supported, and ready to do the work.
Who Benefits Most from Online Therapy in NJ?
Telehealth therapy is especially valuable for New Jersey residents who:
- Have busy schedules — parents, professionals, and commuters who cannot spare 60–90 minutes of travel time
- Experience social anxiety — attending therapy virtually can feel like a much safer first step
- Are teens or young adults — adolescents often feel more comfortable opening up in a familiar setting
- Travel frequently for work — stay connected to your therapist from anywhere in New Jersey or Florida
- Have mobility challenges — telehealth removes all physical barriers to care
