Here is what I would say — online therapy is better than no therapy. A good therapist will be effective even through telehealth. I am not saying you are using this as an avoidance tactic, but that MAY be the case… only you can determine if that’s true.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

No studies, but the kinds of responses I’ve found most helpful are the ones from folks who have experience with particular products over the longterm — like, this is the place I go to figure out which Pyrex to buy if I need one that is over or freezer safe, or to check to see if Brand xyz is still putting out quality goods (many have changed their materials or moved their production in the recent past and quality may have suffered to a point where an item you might assume is BIFL isn’t anymore).
