Online therapy is psychological treatment delivered by secure video call, and sometimes by phone or messaging, with the same kind of qualified therapist you would see in a consulting room. Sessions follow the same structure and last the same time.
Trials show that video-delivered CBT for depression, anxiety, insomnia and post-traumatic stress gives results close to face-to-face treatment. It removes travel and widens choice of language and therapist. It is less suited to emergencies, severe illness and situations where you have no private space.

Travelling to Türkiye for this care
Online therapy is by nature location independent, which makes it one of the few services here that needs no trip at all. The main limits are legal: therapists are licensed by country, some countries restrict treatment across borders, and prescriptions issued in Türkiye are generally not valid elsewhere. Check that your insurer accepts foreign invoices if that matters. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line, not an online appointment.
Send your reports, scans and a short history and a Clinic-Y coordinator replies within 24 hours with suitable teams and written, all-inclusive proposals side by side. Reviewing your case is free.

Is it private?
Use a platform with end-to-end encryption, headphones and a room where you will not be overheard. Ask how records are stored.
