Online CBT for Anxiety — Why It Works
One of the advantages of online CBT for anxiety is that the therapeutic work happens in the environment where you actually live your life. Behavioural experiments, activity scheduling, and between-session tasks can be implemented immediately in real-world contexts — not just discussed in a therapy room and then transferred. For anxiety conditions where situational triggers are central (health anxiety involving medical Googling, social anxiety in online interactions, agoraphobia at home), online delivery actually enhances rather than limits the therapeutic work.
