Advantages of Online Counseling and Consultation

Online counseling provides a private and safe place to discuss your problems and concerns. Convenience is another advantage, since you don’t need to make an appointment and travel to a counselor’s office. By writing your questions and concerns, you may find that as you organize your thoughts and feelings, you begin to see your situation more clearly. By using an email format, you will also have a record of your session to refer to in the future.

Disadvantages of Online Counseling and Consultation

Online counseling is fairly new and results may be different from traditional counseling. Counselors look for nonverbal behaviors like body language, tone of voice, facial expression and general appearance that are missing when there is no face-to-face contact. The counselor can use only the information the client is willing to divulge. Therefore, online counseling and consulting is not therapy. For therapy, seek treatment from a licensed professional counselor in you area. If you are experiencing any of the following conditions, you should seek traditional therapy:

• Serious depression
• Having thoughts about hurting yourself or someone else
• Involved in a violent relationship
• If you are a minor (under 18 years old)

The above concerns are not appropriate for online counseling. Please call your local crisis hotline or contact a mental health counselor in your area.
