About Online Counseling
The mental health industry has recently joined the countless industries already
offering web-based services. Online counseling is a rapidly growing means of communicating
with professionals, worldwide, via the Internet by means of Live chat or email.
As in traditional counseling, online counseling provides you with access to qualified
and experienced professionals. In addition, online counseling is affordable, accessible,
anonymous, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from the privacy
of your own home. Avoid the uncomfortable feeling of running into a familiar face
on the way in or out of a clinic. Since you never have to leave the comfort of your
home to meet with your counselor, your anonymity and privacy is completely secured.
Online counseling gives you access to live professional counselors anytime of the
day or night, no matter what part of the world you live in.
Many people are turning to the Internet for professional counseling and find it
to be an ideal way to discuss life's challenges, personal concerns or emotional
problems. Some people opt for ongoing counseling with a single counselor, while
others for a single session with a counselor just for guidance on a specific matter.

Next Email
Email counseling is another form of online counseling that may suit your needs.
Many find that expressing concerns and/or questions in writing helps organize and
focus on the problem at hand.
At the start of the session, the counselor and yourself should agree upon a suitable
fee for the type of service requested. You can expect to receive a detailed response
from your counselor within approximately 24 hours. Payment for an email session
occurs following the completion of the session, after all service was provided to
your satisfaction.
Previous Security Anonymity
LivePerson users maintain anonymity within a completely safe and secure platform.
Our online counseling takes place in a private and strictly confidential environment
with anonymous aliases, providing a higher level of anonymity than traditional face-to-face
counseling. Since there is no chance to run into a familiar face when meeting with
your counselor, you can feel confident that your anonymity and privacy is completely
secured.
In addition, all payments via the LivePerson platform are transmitted over a secure
connection. LivePerson uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for credit card
transmittal, which provides the highest level of security.
