Due to the highly transmissive virus, the safest and most realistic option for conducting trauma-focused psychotherapy was through online platforms, since then online psychotherapy has been one of the most preferred ways of conducting psychotherapy. The current article reviewed available literature, to illustrate different potential challenges and obstacles mental-health practitioners face when providing trauma-focused online psychotherapy in Malaysia. These challenges are categorized into (a) ethical issues, (b) therapeutic relationships and environment, (c) techniques, and (d) psychotherapists’ self-care.
