Why Choose On-Line Therapy, Psychotherapy, or Counseling? Millions of people search for mental health information on the Internet daily! Just about EVERYONE deals with some sort of issue or another at more than one time in their lives. Some people face everyday issues such as daily stress or lack of time management, issues with parenting, or relationship issues. When these things happen to you, it does not mean there is anything wrong with you; it does not mean you are mentally ill. These types of issues happen to everyone! But why go through it alone, when there is someone out there who can listen, understand, and help you to cope? When one can do it on the Internet, wouldn’t that be even better than having to leave your home and pay a fortune for services?
Sometimes, people deal with more serious issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, high levels of stress, relationship issues, eating disorders, phobias, substance abuse issues, self-esteem issues and other mental health issues. As mentioned above, the sad truth is that many never get any kind of professional help at all.
People may not seek the professional help they need due to the following reasons:
*Financial issues
*Embarrassment of seeking counseling
*Embarrassment of seeing someone familiar when getting help
*Feeling too shy to speak with someone face to face
*Difficulty leaving home
*Lack of childcare to be able to leave home
*Living in a rural area or a place where mental health care is difficult to find
*Lack of transportation
*Lack of time
http://DOCintheBiz.com/subscribe.html is the solution to these issues and takes away any excuse for not receiving the help you want/need.
If you needed an antibiotic for an infection, you would not hesitate to go to your doctor for the right treatment. Why deny yourself proper care for your emotional health? Especially, if you could do it in an affordable and very private way?
If you decide to embark in online therapy with Dr. KC, you will:
*Have the option of much more affordable services than face to face therapy
*Never have to leave your home
*Have COMPLETE anonymity in your choice of settings to ensure complete confidentiality and privacy
*Never have to hear your name called across an office setting
*Never have to worry about running into a familiar face when you are out receiving help
*Decide for yourself when you want to write in to your therapist
*Never be held to any time limitations (excluding online chat time)
Many times, in face to face therapy, it may take a client weeks or even months to get to the core issue of what brought them to therapy in the first place. An online therapist can help you get to your root issues quickly. Often when one is in the comfort of their own home, they feel more free to type whatever is truly bothering them. Sometimes, the first few lines of an email can reveal the deep issues. Clients often feel as though they can speak candidly about their real issues without judgment. Why Choose On-Line Therapy, Psychotherapy, or Counseling? You may have some answers now. So, why not try it out?

I REALLY like this idea of online therapy you’ve got going. With the hustle and bustle of life these days often online is the only way some can get needed assistance.
Often people want the anonymity as well, because for some there is still a bad stigma attached to those who get counseling.
I honestly believe we all came from dysfunctional families. It’s just how functioning we were/are in our dysfunctional families.
I look forward to reading more about what you’re doing and touching base.
Best,

I am writing to tell you I think you really have this together. I have been reading your blog am very impressed with your content and style. I have been waiting to comment, and I think now is my golden moment.
I, too, am a therapist, mainly treating couples who have issues. Some of my clients have a difficult time expressing themselves and communicate with each other and with me. I have started a program where they each write about an issue and then we discuss it. Writing seems to be a valuable tool and proves to be most helpful. What a great idea to do therapy on line! I am sure you are reaching out to many people this way.
Reading the thoughts of other therapists widens my perspective and reinforces my ideas.
Great way to do therapy, Doc. Wish I had thought of it. Lots of luck with Docinthebiz. Continue to help people!!!
Roger
