Online Counseling: Counseling and therapy wherever you are

​"I've discovered that meeting online is just as helpful for clients as meeting in my office." 
Vassia Sarantopoulou, Counselor - Psychologist - Founder of AntiLoneliness
​

Working with a counselor online will never replace traditional, face-to-face therapy relationships. Online therapy is another way of caring, one that can reach people who are not getting any other help.

Does online counseling help people?
Yes. Over 90% of the people who work with a counselor or therapist online say that it helped them.*
Online counseling is a viable alternative source of help when traditional counseling is not accessible. Many people cannot, or will not, go to a therapist's office. For them, counseling or psychotherapy is not accessible.

What keeps people from getting help from the traditional way of therapy?

• A person may be too embarrassed, or too uncomfortable to make an appointment with a counselor.
• A person may live in a remote area, far from any counselor's office.
• Scheduling, money, physical challenge, conflicting relationships, or misconceptions keep people from seeking help.

If this describes you, online counseling may be a place to start.
