Mental health issues are prevalent, yet access to counseling services remains limited. This mixed-methods study with a quasi-experimental design investigates the outcomes of online counseling services compared to traditional face-to-face counseling. The findings suggest that online counseling effectively increases access to mental health support, particularly for rural and underserved populations, with no significant differences in outcomes compared to face-to-face counseling.</em></p> Mina Margaret Ogbanga Copyright (c) https://mail.thinkindiaquarterly.org/index.php/ejbss/article/view/20589 Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000
