Telehealth Therapy 

COVID-19 And Adjustment Disorders

We are living in a difficult period. We are forced to make changes in nearly all facets of our life, whether it be school, work, or interacting with those we love. These major adjustments can affect us in numerous ways. 

Adjustments to our lives can cause serious anxiety and lead to what is known as adjustment disorders. The DSM-5 bases the diagnosis of adjustment disorders as a response to major stressors in a person’s life. 

These stressors are capable of affecting a person’s ability to function. They can lead to increased symptoms, including feelings of depression and anxiety. Behavioral issues that affect work, school, and relationships can also occur. 

It is common for clients of telehealth therapy to report feelings of anxiety about the uncertainty that is associated with a global pandemic. They often feel that these circumstances are beyond their control. 

Some clients talk about the stress involved in navigating the challenges of simply running errands to get basic supplies and the feeling of being disconnected from friends and family. Online counseling services can help to cope with these difficult factors. 

How Online Counseling Services Can Help

Traditional counseling typically involves a client visiting a counseling center and speaking one-on-one with a counselor for an allotted time. Online counseling works in much the same way. 

During an online counseling session, you meet with a trained counselor virtually from the comfort of your home. A professional therapist can help teach you coping and managing skills while offering an empathetic and understanding point of support. 

The skills you learn from these sessions are invaluable in helping you find the source of your anxieties as well as how to cope with them in healthy ways. Despite everything going on in the world, it is important to remember that there is always hope. 

An important part of handling the anxieties and depression that come from adjustment disorders is recognizing that you are not alone. There are things that you can do to improve your quality of life during the lockdown.
