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.
It's not the physical space, but the emotional space that connects the client and their therapist" 
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.
