One way of delivering psychological services is tele-psychotherapy, which has attracted significant attention as a viable approach. This study aimed to identify important variables in the application of tele-counseling and psychotherapy for the treatment of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in Isfahan, Iran.
This research employed an exploratory qualitative methodology. The participants of this study consisted of all the clients with OCD and all the psychotherapists in the city of Isfahan. Purposive sampling was employed, and following a series of semi-structured interviews with 35 individuals with OCD and 11 counselors in this area, the sample size reached a saturation point. The data was analyzed by Braun and Clark's thematic analysis method.
Based on the findings of Braun and Clark's analysis, three primary themes emerged concerning tele-counseling: opportunities, requirements, and challenges.
According to the feedback received from therapists and clients, remote services could offer promising prospects to both groups by providing accessible locations and flexible time management. However, to get the full benefits of teletherapy, therapists should consider certain factors to enhance the therapeutic alliance. Moreover, there are challenges that need to be addressed.
提供心理服务的一种方式是远程心理治疗，它作为一种可行的方法已引起了广泛关注。本研究旨在确定在伊朗伊斯法罕对强迫症患者进行远程咨询和心理治疗应用中的重要变量。
本研究采用探索性定性方法。研究参与者包括伊斯法罕市所有强迫症患者和所有心理治疗师。采用目的抽样法，在对35名强迫症患者和该领域11名咨询师进行一系列半结构化访谈后，样本量达到饱和点。数据采用布劳恩和克拉克的主题分析法进行分析。
根据布劳恩和克拉克的分析结果，出现了关于远程咨询的三个主要主题：机会、要求和挑战。
根据治疗师和患者的反馈，远程服务通过提供便利的地点和灵活的时间管理，可为双方带来有希望的前景。然而，为了充分受益于远程治疗，治疗师应考虑某些因素以加强治疗联盟。此外，还有一些挑战需要解决。
