Vincent Morgante, MFT , describes his successful first months as an online therapist to here2listen's Carolyn Workinger.
Online therapy is definitely very focused and short term.
Online clients want and expect immediate responses. They also want quick answers to complex relationship problems. Establishing an online presence with the client is the most important and immediate challenge, I've found. Sure, they want to tell their story and explain their situation and their feelings, but they also want contact with a real, safe, understanding and insightful person on the other end of that online connection. That's what they're paying for.
