Privacy Issues:
Many people find the more anonymous nature of online therapy attractive, yet for safety, reputable therapists must verify your true identity before offering counseling
Your Online Abilities:
When considering online therapy you must consider your comfort level and skills in communicating through a computer (typing, for example)
Automated Therapy:
Automated therapy courses, most employing cognitive behavioral therapy methodology, have been found effective and can sometimes be accessed for a fraction of the cost of conventional therapy.
