Jeff Guenther, a Portland, Oregon-based therapist, made the decision to stay home for Thanksgiving rather than travel to see his family in Los Angeles. He joined his family's holiday gathering via Zoom.
"We felt this certain amount of pressure because we couldn't get together at all this holiday season. So we might as well try to do it online -- which only caused even more rupture and problems," he told CNN.
"All of our family issues that are always kind of under the surface are even more apparent on Zoom -- and during a pandemic on top of everything else."
