Online Psychotherapy

Online psychotherapy is the provision of professional mental health counseling services concerns via the Internet. Services are typically offered via email, real-time chat, and video conference. Some people use online counseling in conjunction with traditional psychotherapy, and a growing number of clients are using online counseling as a complete replacement to traditional office visits.
While some form of tele-psychology has been going for over 35 years, the advent of Internet video chat systems and the increasing penetration of broadband have resulted in a growing movement towards online therapy. Clients are using videoconferencing, synchronous chat and asynchronous email with professional psychologists in place of or in addition to face-to-face meetings.
