Internet Counseling

Q: Do I need a video camera for internet counseling sessions?
A: You do if you wish to have the full experience of audiovisual internet counseling sessions. However, without video, you will still be able to see the etherapist clearly. The only actual requirement is a microphone, and these range in price from $5.00 to $40.00. If you are considering purchasing a camera, they start at $40.00 and go up. Keep in mind we do offer telephone, in office therapy, e-mail and chat online counseling as well.
Q: How do I set up an internet counseling session?
A: Before proceeding to the scheduling page it would be helpful to search through the online therapists ormedical staff biographies to decide which clinician specializes in your area of concern. They specialize in areas such as relationship advicesubstance abuse or drug abusefamily counselingmarriage problemscareer advicealcoholismmedical questionspet health questionsPTSD (or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), among others. All the staff have their own specialties and not everyone provides the same medium of service. Not everyone has audiovisual or telephone capabilities. Once you have decided who you would like to see, go to the scheduling page and follow the directions. Once you become a member, you can view and set appointment times that are listed and open for the particular staff member for your online therapy sessions.
For an e-therapy question you can go through the scheduling page and after becoming a member click on any open appointment time and choose e-mail therapy as your preferred medium. Any available appointment time will do. After paying you can send your e-mail therapy question immediately to the online counselor or clinician you selected. The easiest way to ask an e-mail therapy question however is to simply click on the member log in link from the home page. It is direct and simple!
Q: How do I begin an e-therapy sessions?

For chat sessions go to the scheduling page, sign in and go the view calendar page and click on the Chat Area. Sign in and join your online counselor or medical staff member. Fortelephone sessions call the number that your online therapist gave you by e-mail. For audiovisual sessionsplease read the audiovisual e-therapy information page carefully. Ten minutes before the therapy session log on to whatever video program you and your therapist decided upon such as Skype.
Q: What problems are appropriate for online therapy?
A: The online counselor can address just about any e-therapy problem or medical question. How to create a healthy relationshiplow self-esteem issues, along with most other concerns are ideally suited for e-therapy. Our quality health care staff can discuss issues such as codependencelove addictionchemical dependence,dysfunctional familiesdepressionanxietyhealthy relationships, and most medical questions.

Online counseling is not appropriate for people who are suicidal or suffering from a psychotic disorder or for those under 18 unless we recieve a notorized parental consent for treatment.
Q: What are the costs for e-therapy sessions?
A: We have two separate prices for sessions. In general, Physicians costs are twice the rate of our Masters level therapists and other health care affiliates. E-mail questions are therefore $40 or $50 depending on the clinician you choose. All other mediums are set in 30 minute increments. However, you are not limited in any way and can order a session for as long as you desire. Audiovisual, telephone, and chat sessions are either $80 or $120 an hour depending on the type of clinician.
