Online psychologist

978 psychologists match on FindPsyk

An online psychologist holds the sessions over video rather than in a clinic. For the common presenting problems — anxiety, depression, stress and milder crises — the research suggests video therapy works on a par with meeting in person, and for many people it is the only way a fixed weekly slot fits around work, study or children. Online also makes geography irrelevant: if you live outside the big cities you are no longer limited to the handful of psychologists with a clinic nearby, but can choose on specialty and waiting time across the whole country. You need a stable connection, a headset and a room where you can talk undisturbed. If you have a referral and choose a psychologist with a ydernummer, the subsidy applies to online sessions too. In an acute crisis, with suicidal thoughts or a severe eating disorder, contact your GP or the regional psychiatric service instead. Below are the psychologists on FindPsyk who offer online sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does online therapy work as well as meeting in person?

For the common presenting problems such as anxiety, depression and stress, the research shows comparable results. What matters is still the relationship with the psychologist and your own work between sessions.

Can I get the subsidy for online sessions?

Yes. With a referral from your GP and a psychologist who holds a ydernummer, the subsidy applies when the session takes place over video as well.

What do I need to get started?

A computer, tablet or phone with a camera, a stable internet connection, a headset and a room where you can talk undisturbed. The psychologist sends a link to a secure video meeting.

When is online not the right choice?

In an acute crisis, with suicidal thoughts, a severe eating disorder or addiction, contact your GP, the out-of-hours doctor or the regional psychiatric service. Some work also requires meeting in person, for example neuropsychological assessments.
