You might feel like you need a space to talk, but your daily routine doesn't easily leave room for therapy. Perhaps you live far from Athens or abroad, travel frequently, work shifts or find it difficult to commute regularly to the psychologists' office.
You may have looked for support near you, but haven't found a setting that suits your needs or allows you to express yourself in the language you feel most comfortable with. Or perhaps you've started in-person therapy, but a move, a trip or a life change makes it difficult to continue.
In this way, the need for care is postponed again and again. Not because it isn't important, but because it feels hard to fit into the circumstances of your life.
Online psychotherapy creates the possibility of having a consistent therapeutic space, even when distance or your daily routine changes.
Online psychotherapy creates a therapeutic relationship with stability, confidentiality and a clear framework, which takes place through secure video call.
From a quiet and private space, you can talk about what is troubling you, gain a deeper understanding of your feelings, and process the experiences, relationships and patterns that impact your life.
Online therapy can offer you:
- access to therapeutic support without geographical limitations
- continuity in therapy when you move, travel or your life circumstances change
- a regular time set aside for yourself, without the burden of travel
- the ability to connect from a space where you feel comfortable
- a framework that can adapt to the practical needs of your daily life without losing its consistency and therapeutic direction.
The screen changes the way we meet, not the care, presence and connection that can develop within the therapeutic relationship.
At Reconnect therapy, online psychotherapy follows the same scientific and therapeutic framework as in-person sessions. From our very first contact, we try to understand what is troubling you, what you need right now and which member of our scientific team can best respond to your needs.
We work connecting mind, body and relationships, with trauma awareness and respect for your personal pace. Even through a screen, we pay attention not only to what you say, but also to your feelings, bodily reactions and the way you experience what is happening to you.
Sessions take place via a secure video call platform that protects personal data. They are not recorded and are governed by the same framework of confidentiality and professional ethics as in-person meetings.
For the session, you need to be in a quiet and private space, with a stable internet connection and a device equipped with a camera and microphone. Right from the start, we also agree on how communication will continue in the event of a technical interruption.
Duration and frequency follow the format of therapy. Individual sessions last 50 minutes, whereas couple sessions 60–90 minutes. The frequency is agreed upon during the initial meetings, depending on your needs and therapeutic goals.
Online psychotherapy is not suitable for every person or for every period of life. During the first meetings, we explore together whether it can offer the safe and stable framework you need or if a different form of support would be preferable.
Online sessions are not limited to individual psychotherapy but also include group psychotherapy.
You do not need to know in advance whether online psychotherapy is the right choice for you. Tell us what you need and what your daily circumstances are, so that we can explore together how a safe and stable therapeutic framework.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is online psychotherapy and how does it work?.
Online psychotherapy is a regular therapeutic session that takes place in real time via a secure video call. It follows the same scientific, therapeutic and ethical framework as in-person psychotherapy.
For many common mental health difficulties, video call psychotherapy can achieve results comparable to in-person therapy. This does not mean it works the same way for everyone or that it is suitable for every difficulty.
Effectiveness depends on the suitability of the online format, the therapeutic relationship, the consistency of sessions, and your ability to participate meaningfully in the process.
Yes. Connection does not depend solely on whether two people are in the same room, but on presence, consistency, safety, and the quality of communication between them.
At first, you might feel a bit awkward or need some time to get used to the screen. If you find along the way that you are struggling to feel safe or connected enough, we will explore with you whether any changes to the therapeutic framework are needed.
You need a quiet and private space, a stable internet connection, and a computer, tablet, or mobile phone with a camera and microphone. Headphones can help with better hearing and privacy protection.
It is best to avoid public Wi-Fi networks and spaces such as cafes, moving cars, or shared rooms where you cannot speak freely and securely.
Reconnect Therapy's online sessions take place via a secure video call platform, are not recorded, and are governed by the same framework of confidentiality and professional ethics as in-person meetings.
Privacy protection also depends on the space you connect from. You need to be alone in a room where you cannot be overheard, use a secure connection, and inform your therapist if there is any factor restricting your privacy. Neither party is allowed to record the session without the prior, explicit agreement of all involved persons.
The first session is an introductory and exploratory meeting. You will have the opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, even if you do not know how to describe it or what exactly you need.
At the same time, we will discuss your goals, your daily life circumstances, and whether the online format can offer you a safe and stable framework. We will also agree on the frequency, privacy, and method of communication in case of a technical issue.
From the beginning of our work together, a specific alternative method of communication is agreed upon. If a technical issue occurs, we can try to reconnect or use the pre-agreed method of communication.
If the connection consistently has problems, we will explore whether the technical setup can be improved or if a different way of conducting sessions is needed.
Online psychotherapy can be particularly helpful if you live far from Athens, travel, have a changing schedule, find it difficult to move around, or want to continue therapy after a house move.
It might not be the most suitable choice if you do not have a stable and private space, if online communication causes you significant difficulty, or if your safety and support needs require more frequent, in-person, or local care. Suitability is explored during the initial meetings and can be reassessed.
Scheduled online psychotherapy is not an emergency or immediate intervention service. If there is an immediate risk to your life or safety, you need to contact the emergency services in your area. In Greece and the European Union, you can call 112.
When there is increased risk or severe emotional dysregulation, concurrent psychiatric evaluation, support from a trusted person, or access to local services may be necessary.
The online format can help people living abroad who wish to have therapy in the language they feel most familiar with. We need to know the country and location from which the sessions take place, as well as a local contact or support method in case of need. If you travel or change countries during therapy, it is important to inform your therapist in good time.
No. At Reconnect Therapy, the following can be conducted online: individual psychotherapy, couples psychotherapy and a group psychotherapy.
Individual sessions last 50 minutes, couples sessions last 60–90 minutes, and therapeutic group meetings last 100 minutes. The frequency of individual and couples sessions is agreed upon during the initial meetings. In the online group, each participant needs to join from a private space and adhere to the agreed confidentiality rules.
The fee depends on the format and duration of the therapy session, so usually no. Before starting our work together, you will be clearly informed about the cost and practical terms of the therapeutic framework.
