The premise of play therapy is to meet children where they are and to speak their language. Technology is the modern facilitator of that language. Meeting a child in a digital world is comfortable and familiar to them and aids in strengthening rapport and gaining greater insight into their world. Ultimately, while the work is slightly modified virtually, the therapeutic effects of having a space to process all that is presently occurring for them is invaluable. When used as an adjunct to in-person therapy when meeting in person is not possible, it allows children to maintain a sense of normalcy during uncertainty which aids in resilience and improved mental health overall.

Your therapist will guide your child in directive therapeutic games, share effective videos on emotional regulation and exploration, and follow your child's lead to help them explore their emotions and challenging behaviors. You may be involved in the session to help with technology or your child may be set up on his/her own per your treatment plan.
