Online financial therapy

Abstract

ABSTRACT This article discusses a case study implementing a manualized financial therapy intervention in an online setting. The benefits of financial therapy are discussed, and the pros and cons of online therapy are contrasted. A description the intervention is provided. At the conclusion of the intervention, the client and other family members reported satisfaction with this form of therapy. Using financial therapy in an online format may help reduce the service barriers that are often encountered by requiring therapy sessions to be conducted in-person, thus providing wider access to low-income clients who are most in need of these types of interventions.
