Why
choose Online Counseling?
(Also known as E-Counseling, Internet Counseling,
Online Therapy, E-Therapy, Internet Therapy, Online Psychology,
E-Psychology, Internet Psychology, Cybertherapy, Virtual Psychology,
Chat Therapy, Cyberpsychology.)
Some of the
reasons why people prefer Online Counseling via Live Chat,
Video Chat or Email:
- It is cost effective and normally much cheaper than the
cost of face to face counseling or therapy.
- The privacy and anonymity of Online Counseling are appealing.
Some people are embarrassed to visit a therapist for a face
to face appointment.
- You can receive and continue therapy while traveling or
when you live in an area where it is difficult to find a
qualified psychologist or counselor.
- Online counseling often provides faster results than face
to face therapy. You may find that you can be more open
when chatting or writing an email to your online psychologist
than in person with a professional.
- In small communities people often prefer a health professional
not known to them. Online therapy affords you the opportunity
to communicate with a professional about your problem in
total privacy.
- Some individuals are uncomfortable around people. Online
therapy provides a safe and familiar environment to open
up with a caring psychologist on the other end of the line.
- It is convenient and time efficient. You can sit in the
privacy of your own home or office and chat or write an
email at your own time, giving you opportunity to think
clearly and calmly what you want to say.
