Maybe you have never received counseling before, and it is less frightening or intimidating than going to a counselor at a clinic. 

Some people are more comfortable with online counseling than face-to-face therapy. 

It may be difficult for you to find the time to seek counseling at a clinic, whereas with online counseling, you have no need to leave home, or to take time off from work. 

You can e-mail me as many times as you wish, and I will give you a reply as soon as possible, whereas with office visits for counseling, you have to wait for the next session or appointment with your therapist.

You may be more comfortable receiving therapy this way, than face- to-face counseling. 

Writing down your concerns really helps to bring things into focus or perspective. 

This gives you an excellent opportunity to think over what your therapist has said to you by reading and re-reading your e-mails.

 Best of all, on-line counseling with me is FREE. 

Because on-line counseling is done via e-mail, without any face-to- face contact, it is sometimes difficult to understand what the other person is thinking or feeling. 

With e-mail, sometimes things may not be to clear, so you will have to wait for a reply to your e-mail if clarification is needed.

Sometimes e-mails take a long time to download from your server, or sometimes they do not get through. 

Your e-mail may not always be secure, so that others may be able to read your e-mail, but there are steps that you can take to prevent this.
