So, how many of you out there are familiar with Tele-Therapy or On-line Therapy? If you have ever done FaceTime or Skype, you can do on-line therapy. I always thought that doing therapy online would take something away from the emotional connection that is shared. I have discovered that the connection is still there and people share more than they may have in my office. People like on-line therapy for many reasons; no traffic, more convenient times, weather, sickness, etc.
