Phobia treatment is typically done by what is known as "exposure therapy." This treatment involves exposing the patient to the anxiety invoking stimulus, and allowing the anxiety to subside. Virtual reality exposure therapy exposes the patient to a virtual environment that contains the fear-inducing stimulus rather than exposing them to the stimulus in the real world or having the patient imagine the stimulus.

The client is not immersed in an entire virtual environment through a head-mounted display (HMD) as is the case in VR [virtual reality] exposure therapy (VRET), but a virtual object (e.g., a spider) is added to the current surroundings.
