Q: How do I begin an e-therapy sessions?

A: For all types of sessions besides e-mail questions revisit the site 10 to 15 minutes before the agreed upon time return to the site. For chat sessions go to Discussion Groups, sign in and go to the Chat Area. Sign in and join your online counselor or medical staff member. For telephone sessions call the number that your online therapist gave you by e-mail. For audiovisual sessions please read the audiovisual e-therapy information page carefully. Ten minutes before the therapy session log on to NetMeeting and either call the IP address provided by the therapist or sign on and look for your therapist in the directory and click on their name to begin the session.

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 relationship, low self-esteem issues, along with most other concerns are ideally suited for e-therapy. Our quality health care staff can discuss issues such as codependence, love addiction, chemical dependence, dysfunctional families, depression, anxiety, healthy relationships, and most medical questions. When and if the need requires more in-depth therapy, we would refer you to the appropriate sources, making this in itself a valuable service.

Q: What are the costs for e-therapy sessions and tapes?

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 $25 or $35 depending on the clinician you choose. All other mediums are set in 15 minute intervals. 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 $60 or $90 an hour depending on the type of clinician. Not all of our staff at present accept all mediums so be sure to check the professionals' biography.
