Throughout the entire e-mail counseling process, all data and e-mail counseling communications are encrypted and password protected by 128-bit SSL servers (the same type banks use).
All security is seamless; no added hassle or account sign-ups needed.
Some Other Things to Consider:
Please note: the only language available is English. For your counseling to be effective, you must feel comfortable expressing yourself in that language.
For this format to work to its potential, you must be comfortable writing expressively, informally, and in some detail.
You will need to reveal information about yourself, your feelings, your situation, and your identity. If you conceal important feelings or information,as with any form of counseling, you will only be negatively impacting yourself. (as well as wasting your time and money).
If you are currently working with a counseling or therapeutic professional, be extremely cautious about seeking further advice on any Web counseling site, unless your therapist/counselor recommends it.
Please don't ask me to second-guess your current treatment. If you want a 2nd opinion, or to talk with someone different, ask your therapist/counselor for a referral. They will (and, ethically, must) provide you with one.
How The Process Works
In online counseling, just as with a face to face session, we have a conversation that has a content framework, and time limitation. The difference is in the method of communication: writing (e-mail) vs. talking.
You complete a brief questionnaire to give me some personal background and history. You also discuss your issues, problems and/or concerns. You ask questions and explain your needs. (Only after submittng the questionnaire, do you make your payment for the service.)
Upon receiving your communication, I send you a response within 24-36 hours. This will include detailed discussion, explanations, advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc. that address your problem(s) or issue(s).
After you receive my response you can send me as detailed an e-mail as you need to gain deeper understanding or clarification, ask additional questions, get further information, etc. I then provide you the answers, etc, again, within 24-36 hours.
The e-mail format may seem a bit limited when compared to talking with someone for 45 minutes; and, how much do you recall from a long conversation?
An added advantage to online counseling using e-mail is that you have a word for word record that you can review at any time. You also have added time to consider your questions, clarification needs, etc. before responding.
