   I am using online counseling, I had 3 sessions already. It’s ok, I’ve never been to the regular kind but I think it is pretty much the same thing. It’s also cheaper, I mean I pay 65$ instead of 100. and I have a friend that uses online life coaching and he likes it.

   As with any kind of therapy, it all depends on how comfortable you are with it and who’s giving the advice. While online support forums and things are all good and fine for some types of help (especially for not feeling alone), they don’t replace professional help when its truly needed.

   Think of it as a broken leg. Sure, you can go check out a site like, say http://www.healthline.com and it says you have a broken leg. Now you know, but it won’t fix your leg.

   Beware of any kind of advice from someone who uses a screen name (which yes, I understand the irony in the fact that I’m writing this under a screen name) in place of a real name. Check the person out on your own. Don’t give out too much personal information that could leave you as a target.

   In person therapy or counseling might be best because you can see for yourself who is behind it, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t quality resources available online.

   Best of luck.

   I really like the idea.I think with some guidelines etc in place can and would be very helpful to so many people.I have suffered through abuse of all types,was just diagnosed with Crone’s disease and do not have friends or family.I have recently started therapy but hours of service are 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. People just can’t shut down problems or situations when they need help but it’s not an emergency. I have looked for something like this online but found nothing helpful.So yes I would.

   I wish you luck : )
