E-Therapy or counseling is probably not the best medium for that person. Some people like to talk, some like the phone, and others, to climb mountains, to dance or paint on canvas or on screen. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle and will be able to express our feelings and articulate our problems in some fashion through words. E-therapy is not a substitute for traditional therapy and should not be used in place of another form of therapy. But there is no way to immediately check out or verify a statement that may be ambiguous or confusing.

Again, e-therapy is not a substitute for traditional therapy and should not be used in place of traditional therapy. If you are currently seeing a therapist, you should not end your relationship with that therapist for e-therapy, nor should you consult with PsychOptions if you are currently in therapy . See Dr. Grohol's Best Practices in e-therapy . Scheduling - Especially for those in business, traveling, or leading a very hectic existence. As with anything, there are pros and cons and only you can judge for yourself if e-therapy is for you and something you'd like to try and possibly continue.
