We live in a world that is in constant flux and development. Sometimes we may feel that our personal time is no longer a necessity but a luxury and we forget to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. Dr. Schacter is sensitive to the constraints which make it difficult for individuals to receive help.  She suggests alternative strategies to increase access to therapy by integrating technology into her practice. She feels that her clients shouldn’t miss the opportunity to receive the help they need and therefore attempts increase access to mental healthcare by using technologies such as instant messaging, online scheduling, phone and webcam sessions.
