What
is Online Counseling
Online
counseling or eTherapy is a new way to 'see' a
therapist. Use of the Internet allows us to
make available therapists chosen from a large
pool of expert licensed clinicians from
various locations throughout the US.
Busy
schedules, difficulty with traveling to the
therapist's office, fear of going out in
public, privacy concerns, and 24 hour
availability are only a few of the reasons
given for using our e-therapy service.
We offer email,
private
chat and phone
sessions.
Fees
Email
Sessions
After
purchasing your email session, you compete
your Pre-Session form which tells your
therapist about you and your reasons for
seeking therapy. Your therapist carefully
reviews your Pre-Session form and responds to
you by email with a well thought out answer
within 48 hours. Our therapists spend
approximately 30 minutes on their response to
you. This process is one email session.
With e-mail, much of the benefit for you will
derive from the writing itself. Therapists
often encourage clients to keep journals or
write to help clarify and express their
thoughts.
You may have a simple one-time question, or
you may choose to use this as a way to
establish a longer term relationship with a
therapist.
We provide a free, safe, secure email account
for your email sessions here: Safe-Mail.Net
After your first session, you do not need to
complete the form again. For continuing email
sessions, you exchange emails with your
therapist. You may purchase a single
email session or package sessions at
discounted rates for continuing work with your
therapist.
Private
Online Chat and Phone Sessions
Telephone and online chat offer additional
options from which to choose. For those who
have never tried chat, it's a very simple
process. After purchasing a session and
completing your Pre-Session form, you meet
your therapist online here, in his/her
"virtual office." You type a message
to your therapist and he/she responds by
typing back immediately, in real time. You do
not need any special software. Simply click on
the "Live Online" image in your
therapist's Virtual Office and begin your chat
session. All sessions are scheduled at
least 24 hours in advance.
You may purchase 30 minute or 60 minute chat
sessions. Package discounted rates are also
available for ongoing work with your
therapist.
Choosing our phone
option means that after purchasing a
session and completing your Pre-Session form,
your therapist will call you at your
appointment time, at a number you specify .
You will talk with your therapist for the
amount of time you purchased.
Online therapy may be a comfortable,
convenient way for you to begin opening up to
another person and trying out the idea of
therapy, or you may already be familiar with
therapy and choose this option for the added
convenience and privacy it offers. Many people
prefer etherapy to prevent having a mental
health record with insurance companies.
All of our therapists have passed our thorough
screening process, are licensed or certified
in their states, and are carefully selected to
be part of our network based on their
demonstrated professional excellence.
Our goal is to provide you, the consumer of
mental health services, with another therapy
option and to offer only the most expert
therapeutic services available online.
When Should I See A Therapist?
-
When
you feel like you can't do it alone.
-
When
you feel trapped, like there's nowhere to
turn.
-
When
you worry all the time, and never seem to
find the answers.
-
When
the way you feel is affecting your sleep,
your eating habits, your job, your
relationships, your everyday life.
-
When
it's not getting any better.
-
When
you need to talk to someone who can help,
you need an experienced, trained
professional.
