Research & Our Approach to Online Therapy
Flexibility | Evidence | Human Connection
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the need for accessible mental health care is growing — but many systems remain rigid and overloaded.
At GGZ-EXTRA, we believe innovation and empathy must go hand in hand.
That’s why we work with modern, research-backed online therapy solutions — designed to meet people where they are, both emotionally and physically.
Why Online Therapy?
Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions – especially for common issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related problems.
The key lies in the relationship, structure, and safety.
Our clients consistently report:
✅ A sense of comfort: “I can sit in my own chair, with my own drink, in my own space.”
✅ A sense of safety: “I feel more at ease in my own environment.”
✅ A sense of efficiency: “It saves me travel time and stress.”
Online therapy offers:
- Flexibility – fit sessions into your life, not the other way around
- Accessibility – no matter where you are, help is within reach
- Privacy & familiarity – from the safety of your own home
