How does therapy help tech and media professionals?
The tech and media industries can be fast-paced, high-energy, demanding, and unrelenting. The people who work in these industries are under incredible pressure to perform, possibly causing stress, anxiety, and depression if they struggle to cope without proper support.
Anxiety
Taxing demands and high expectations can leave tech workers in a near-constant state of anxiety, and sometimes unable to relax or unwind even during their off-hours.
Depression
Feeling like they can’t catch up or slow down can be more than just taxing, it can even lead to depression if left unchecked for too long.
Burnout
When the long hours and high demands catch up, it can mean exhaustion takes over, aggravating other conditions and symptoms that are at play.
With Talkspace, tech and media professionals can get the therapy they need whenever and however they need it.
Is online therapy for tech and media professionals effective?
Online therapy is proven to be as effective, if not more effective, than face-to-face therapy. Tech workers can meet with a licensed mental health professional from wherever they’re most comfortable and benefit from Talkspace’s safe, secure, and confidential platform.
