Hi there IGIF and welcome,

No, I never have used online therapy. Some members used to use it but they are not around much anymore. Have you been thinking about it? Any reason why you wouldn't go in person?

Hi,

Welcome,

I too have never used one but i know some sites where they provide it!
I have the same question as Liese!!

Hi: I have been using online counseling for about six months as an adjunct to my in person therapy. It was hit or miss at first but then i found someone I really connected with and I talk to her (via chat) at least once a week. I don't know that it should be used in lieu of in person therapy but its really helpful to me to have someone more accessible at the time I really need to talk to someone rather than trying to contain all my emotions to talk to my regular T for that 50 minutes a week I get to talk to her.

their 'I guess' I do not know anyone who goes the online road myself. I have seen a few T's advertising sessions V skype. thats about it. I would think however some people may feel it is easey to talk to a person not a screen or deal with a issue on the phone. On the other hand if someone has tried and given up on face to face talk talk maybe it is worth a shot... after all, can it hurt any more that life it self.
