Outcomes for and Challenges with Telehealth-Delivered Psychotherapy.
Over the past decade, telehealth-delivered psychotherapy has become an increasingly accessible and viable modality for providing evidence-based care. Current research on its efficacy is varied, with some protocols demonstrating comparable outcomes between virtual and in-person modalities and others suggesting a differential impact of disorder and/or protocol-specific factors (eg, symptom severity). This review examines recent findings across treatment settings and protocol types as well as provides recommendations and considerations for providers. Future research is warranted to further compare virtual and in-person treatment delivery and determine long-term outcomes.
