What is an online web-cam counseling?
This technology allows us to meet in our "virtual office", which is where our computers are. The Online Counselor uses Internet video-conferencing technology to 'see' the client. So I can also be your Online Counselor while you are travelling!!!
Webcom consultation has the same power as a "real" face to face meeting for helping people and organizations resolve issues concerning: stress, relationships, decision making and facing difficult dilemmas.
Online Psychologist or Life Coach
Using a telephone for important and confidential matters, either talking person to person or the conference call system, both are very common. Web-cam (the hi-tech Internet video-conferencing), takes us one step further by allowing us to “meet” and see each other, while communicating. And it is free!
Online psychological or professional counseling service, therefore, can be very similar to the traditional therapeutic process. We engage in ongoing conversations over time in which you, the client and your Psychologist / Coach, are in separate locations but still together. It is both an old and new modality of assisting you in resolving life and relationship issues.
