I understand virtual doesn't work well for everybody. As someone who intentionally sought out a career and job where I could work remotely, I also understand why some therapists, once they experienced the benefits, wouldn't want to go back to working out of an office. Since there's plenty of demand for online therapy, there's not much of an incentive to maintain an office space. Client preference alone isn't a compelling factor when it doesn't have to be taken into account to get a full caseload. That sucks for clients who need in-person, but it's hard to rationalize the extra expense from a business standpoint unless they were to cover the loss by charging more for in person. And providing therapy is a business, and businesses operate to make a profit. So why wouldn't therapists do what they prefer and what also makes them more money?
