Online counseling through email is a unique way to get help
with what's bugging you in the privacy of your own home.
Advantages of Online Counseling through Email
-
There is no difficulty in scheduling. Just write your emails anytime you like.
Most of our email counseling clients get their initial response from
one of our professional counselors within 24 hours.
-
You and your counselor can read and re-read your email exchanges, and you can save them for later review.
-
You don't have to leave home or work so you won't have to worry
about finding parking or dealing with traffic.
-
It is normally more economical than other forms of counseling.
-
You pay only if you are happy with your sessions and the advice you
receive. See our
Satisfaction Guarantee
for more details.
-
Your information is safe with us.
Our services are discrete, private, secure. See
our
Security and
Privacy
policies for more information. That means that none of your family
or friends even needs to know you are receiving counseling unless
you want them to.
In addition, all of our counselors are licensed and trained in the traditional way, but understand the convenience, power, and possibilities of technology today.
These are the same counselors that have helped hundreds of clients,
just like you, in our offices.
How Email Counseling Works
Online counseling using email is as simple
as sending an email after you've
registered and been assigned to a counselor. Your counselor will get
some information from you just like they do in our offices. Your
counselor will then give you advice and guidance based on your own
particular problem and situation.
Nothing could be easier - there's nothing
complicated at all. And in the unlikely event you do have technical
problems or questions about your sessions you can always
contact us.
Your counselor will save your emails, in your
own personal file as part of our counseling records, just like we do in
our offices every day with our in person clients.
Online Counseling Through Email Limitations
We do hundreds of in person counseling sessions every month, helping
real people with real problems. Unfortunately, due to their location,
many people can't come to one of our 3 offices for that same in person
help and counseling.
That's why we decided several years ago to make it easier for those
not living close to our Utah or Idaho offices to get the same kind of
caring, private help in the comfort of their own homes or offices. We
realize, however, that email counseling does have certain limitations
compared to traditional in person counseling which we've listed below: Email
counseling is not a substitute for traditional psychotherapy. If you
can visit a therapist in person, you should. But if you
can't visit a therapist's office, online counseling can be a helpful
and effective alternative if:
- You don't have access to a therapist
nearby.
- You are nervous or embarrassed about
trying in person counseling.
- You have difficulty scheduling an appropriate time with a
traditional therapist.
- There are cost factors or other barriers to traditional psychotherapy.
In these situations, email counseling can be helpful.
There are limitations, however, that you should be
aware of:
-
Answers to your emails are not as
immediate as responses in traditional counseling.
-
Non-verbal communication can be limited
without face-to-face interaction.
-
Written
communication is occasionally more difficult to express and
comprehend.
As we've
honestly pointed out, email
counseling isn't for everyone. And, as with any new frontier,
there are some issues you should consider before trying it. But even so,
there is this basic truth: every day, responsible, competent, and ethical
mental health professionals are forming effective helping relationships
via the Internet--relationships that help and heal. You too can
take the first step to building that kind of relationship by
registering today.
It's Less Expensive Than You Think
We have one of the most cost effective ways to get help--period. Not only is email counseling convenient, safe, and private it's affordable too.
Our standard email counseling fees are based on sets of e-mails exchanged between
your counselor and yourself.
3 email exchanges is only $50.00. And you have the convenience and safety of
using most major credit cards.
Note that administrative emails, like scheduling arrangements, are
not counted towards your 3 email exchanges. However if you require any additional services, like phone sessions,
they are charged separately. In addition, the costs of any resources recommended as part of the counseling process are
your responsibility.
