Stress, anxiety and low mood are frequent problems. However, relatively few people use or access traditional face-to-face psychological services. Many barriers can be encountered such as stigma or a lack of availability of such services. Internet psychotherapies represent an option that can help to overcome these barriers and facilitate access to evidence-based psychological treatments. A number of Internet-based therapies have been shown to be effective.

The Internet psychotherapies offered and assessed at etherapies do not require travelling or face-to-face appointments with a mental health professional. They are of brief duration, typically between 6 to 8 weeks depending on the therapy program. They can take different forms, such as written therapy or they may be similar to an online course with lessons and homework. Emails are used as the primary mode of communication.
