In 2008 Peter Zapfella was one of the first therapists to adopt Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) (also known Skype Therapy) to conduct live one-on-one therapies around the world using Internet technology (IT). These technologies allow for the reception and transmission of audio–video by users around the world using any Internet access device, including desktops, laptops tablets, and mobile/cell phones.
Peter has witnessed an enormous improvement in the overall reliability of VoIP services over the past decade, with a vast improvement in quality and reliability. Software is constantly improving while Internet speeds increase at the same time.
“…randomized controlled studies that have been conducted to date, (show that Skype Therapy) tele-mental health has demonstrated equivalent efficacy compared to face-to-face care in a variety of clinical settings…”Richardson LK, Frueh BC, Grubaugh AL, Egede L, Elhai JD. Current Directions in Videoconferencing Tele-Mental Health Research.
