Telehealth counseling is ideal for individuals who value convenience, have transportation challenges, prefer the comfort of their own environment, or have busy schedules. It's effective for treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, and many other concerns. However, it may not be suitable for individuals experiencing severe mental health crises, those who struggle to use technology, or those who prefer face-to-face interactions.
