3 Alternatives to Traditional Therapy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Traditional, in-person therapy has its merits to be sure, but it’s not for everyone. There isn’t a one-size-fits all when it comes to mental health solutions. If you’ve tried your share of office chats on a comfy couch, and it’s not for you, it might be time to switch things up.

Here are three alternatives to traditional therapy. 

Regular Exercise

You’ve heard that exercising is good for your physical as well as mental health, but do you actually put this into practice? Regularly? It’s time to start. Doing any heart-raising activity for 30 minutes three times a week can lower stress, reduce depression and increase energy. Not to mention that it’s 100% price free. 

If you’re new to exercising regularly, simply going for daily walks is a great place to start.

Acupuncture

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing method developed millenia ago and still widely practiced today. The process entails stimulating specific points on the body with needles, prompting the production of feel-good and pain-eliminating chemicals such as beta-endorphins.

Online Counseling

Many people enjoy having a therapist who knows them well and whom they can depend on, but need care more frequently than once a week, don’t have reliable transportation or have strong social anxiety. In these cases, online counseling is a great option. 

Online counseling can take the form of phone calls, texting, emailing or video chatting. If you’re interested, it’s easy to find a therapist near you who offers online counseling

It’s important to note there is no “best” type of therapy. Just know that you have options; do your research and decide for yourself which is the best fit for you.
