How My Counseling Services Work

What is personal email and video internet counseling?

Face to face counseling is a great traditional means of providing help but in this modern world other ways are also available. Sometimes it can be just the right thing for someone. My email video counseling provides the advantage of speed, convenience, and a record of every session to review as desired.

I offer a money-back guarantee on your first session so you will know right up front that you have nothing to lose. 

How does email or internet counseling work and how do I begin?
You'll start by filling out the my counsel form then you will receive a personal email or video response that contains the following:

1. A clarification of the problem, which can go a long way towards finding the answer.
2. Individualized customized personal advice about your specific issues.
3. New perspectives that will have you thinking and afford you the ability to start changing any patterned behaviors and thoughts that you find problematic toward getting you where you want to be.
4. Original Tools that I initially offer and explain to you so that you gain the ability to design and implement on your own, to continue to grow as you go.

How long is a session? Can my problems be solved in one session? 
It really depends on the situation and how open you are to changing your beliefs. Some people find that one session is all they need. I suggest you try one and then if you wish to continue, you will be better informed to make that choice. Just talking openly about your issue without feeling judged can make a big difference. Once you have had the opportunity to see the new perspective and I can help you elevate your perception, things will be come clearer and you will be heading in a completely different direction.

I am available for you as you need and desire. It can be a one time internet counseling session, a daily session, a few personal e-mails once in a while, personal video counseling you name it, whatever you prefer and that you feel will work best for you.

What kind of issues do you deal with in an internet counseling session?
Just about anything because it is all mostly perspective based. Whether you need relationship help, personal coaching, guidance, motivation, inspiration, or business advice, the sessions are always tailored to your individual needs or to the needs of each of the individuals in a relationship. If you are not sure, please email me with your questions about whether or not your situation is one that is appropriate for internet counseling.

When is email or internet counseling a good choice?

Email or internet counseling is ideal for people who are comfortable with putting their thoughts and feelings in writing. You can even submit videos to me if you like. I will be submitting videos as well for some of my clients who wish me to take that approach. My counsel is for people who want anonymity, privacy, convenience and easy access, flexibility, to save time, to get fast responses, and effective results. Many people find that writing answers or searching for the self expression requested of them in a video response to the questions is revealing and thought provoking.

My counsel is a good choice for people who have difficulty getting to a counselor, are isolated, have a busy schedule, who are uncomfortable or anxious about face to face counseling, have physical limitations, prefer the privacy, or just prefer personal email and personal video as a convenient and relaxed mode of communication.

When is internet counseling not a good choice?
While there are many benefits of internet counseling, it is not appropriate for everyone and cannot always completely replace in person therapy, medical or drug treatments. However because I utilize video it is like having me right in front of you and allows for interpretation of voice tone, body language, and other forms of non-verbal communication that are a part of traditional therapy.

Do not use email or internet counseling:
 
a. If this is an emergency, if you feel suicidal, homicidal, or like you want to hurt yourself of someone else, IMMEDIATELY call 911 or your doctor, or go to the nearest emergency room!
b. If you have any psychotic symptoms (hallucinations, delusions, thought disorganization).
c. If you need intense support, phone contact, hospitalization.
d. If you are addicted to drugs or alcohol or if you have a psychiatric illness.
e. If you need a medical diagnosis or a prescription. 

How is the communication in internet counseling confidential and private?
All names and personal information are never given to other parties for any other use. The only exception is danger to self or others, as is true in any case where you see a therapist. When you submit your questions and concerns it is sent directly to me and I am the only one that ever sees it. The only information you need to provide is your name or pseudonym, email address and your situation. Within the limitations of security inherent in e-mail communication, internet counseling is even more secure and confidential than in person counseling.

How do I pay and what will a session cost me?
You can make your payments via PayPal. 
My counsel does not request or accept access to your financial information. I receive your payment as we go along so I am only paid as you feel I should be. Fees range from $10 for short sessions and answers to several hundred a month for ongoing counseling.

Will insurance cover internet counseling?
Insurance will not cover this. I am not licensed and my counseling is based almost completely on perspective and conscious perception awareness. Much of what I offer is analytical tools and perspectives, you would most likely not have come up with on your own so that is where the value lies, but once you have what I offer you can then use common sense to utilize the tools and perspectives effectively in your life to solve your problems and achieve self growth through an elevated conscious mentality and enhanced perceptive awareness.
