With the advent of COVID-19, a sudden, unexpected, and forced shift has been produced
in the field of psychotherapy. Worldwide, many therapists closed their offices and started
to deliver psychotherapy online through a screen. Although different media started to
be incorporated, videoconferencing is undoubtedly the most common way in which
therapists are doing therapy these days. This is catalyzing a rapid change in the practice
of psychotherapy with probable lasting effects and deserves to be carefully reflected upon.
Therefore, in this paper our aim is to outline the main challenges for a medium that may
have arrived to stay. In that sense, we review the literature to describe the state-of-the-art
regarding the main aspects of videoconferencing psychotherapy as well as to suggest
possible avenues for future research and practice. [-]
