Why People Choose Online Therapy
Online counselling isn’t a compromise — for many people, it’s simply the better option. The research is clear: virtual therapy produces outcomes equivalent to in-person therapy across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and more.
People choose online therapy at Benchmark for many different reasons:
You live outside Vancouver area — access to mental health and counselling support in smaller British Columbia communities is genuinely limited. Online therapy removes that barrier entirely.
Your schedule doesn’t allow for travel — commuting to an appointment mid-day, or across the city at 5 pm, isn’t realistic for everyone. Online sessions eliminate that.
You have young children at home — attending from your own space during nap time or while a partner is home is far easier than organizing childcare around an in-person appointment.
You’re managing a physical health condition or injury — getting to a clinic isn’t always possible. Online therapy brings support directly to you.
You find it easier to open up at home — many clients report that they feel more relaxed and can go deeper in sessions when they’re in a familiar, comfortable environment.
You’re going through a difficult period and just need to start — removing every logistical barrier makes it easier to take that first step when motivation is hardest to find.
You travel frequently for work — virtual sessions mean your therapy doesn’t stop when you’re away.
You’d prefer privacy — attending therapy from home means no waiting room, no running into anyone you know, no navigating a building.
