In an effort to provide clients with an alternative to traditional therapy which requires clients to make room for another appointment in their busy schedule, online counseling is available from the comfort and convenience of your own home with equally effective results. Online counseling also has the benefit of reducing the stigma often associated with the idea of having to seek counseling, as well as the risk of being seen by someone you may know. The quality of the therapeutic relationship is in no way hindered by online counseling, and in fact is more often enhanced due to your ability to feel more relaxed in the comfort of your home.
There are several online counseling options available, including email, instant messaging, video conferencing via a webcam, and telephone sessions.
