Virtual Reality Tele-therapy

VR Tele-therapy occurs when the patient and the therapist are never in the same physical location. All work is carried out remotely via social virtual worlds or telepresence systems. This is most often the case for casual therapy sessions online, or when the patient lives in a remote area otherwise bereft of sufficient therapeutic resources.

It can also be used when the person is less likely to open up in traditional therapy sessions, leery of things they say becoming small town gossip.
