Online Counseling


Online counseling is becoming a popular method of counseling. It offers a number of advantages that are desirable to some people. Although being together and listening are extremely important for good communication, people can often express in written words what they cannot, for whatever reason, express in person.


MSN, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ or our own Live Support System

Online counseling, conducted with ease on either our own Live Support system or via your favorite instant messaging/chat program (MSN, AIM, Yahoo or ICQ), can offer the freedom to think privately about what needs to be said, and communicate back and forth at the speed of typing. At the same time, an individual may be spared any discomfort about speaking particular thoughts out loud.

It can be effective on its own, and may also be an excellent addition to other forms of counseling, by allowing extra information to be shared at times when a spoken conversation is not convenient.

Another advantage of online counseling, is that you and your counselor can be oceans and time zones apart and still be in the same virtual room. We are physically in the US, but offer our services to the entire world, regardless of whether you are in Canada, the UK, Australia or any other country - as long as you have an Internet connection.
