ONLINE COUNSELING
Online counseling is a contemporary method of receiving help for personal, family or career problems
without leaving the comfort of your home or office. Professionals provide therapy through exchanges
by private encrypted email or private secure chat sessions. Describing your concerns to an online
counselor is simple and reduces the apprehension of meeting in person with a therapist. Online therapy allows for quick response to pressing issues and clients report rapid resolution to problems that typically take much longer in face- to- face therapy.
Our Licensed Professional Counselor is well trained to provide individualized therapy through
communication on the Internet. You can choose between email sessions, private chat sessions or phone counseling. The exchange is scheduled at your convenience and is purchased by credit card on proven secure PAYPAL service. You save money and time by selecting the online service best suited for your
needs without ever leaving your home. GET STARTED!

While there are many benefits of online therapy, it is not appropriate for everyone. Online counseling
does not allow for interpretation of voice tone, body language and other forms of non-verbal communication that are part of traditional therapy. There may be technical difficulties that could delay responses.

Severe mental health disorders including delusions or hallucinations. |

someone else. |
