Christine Greer O'Connor

Research has found that telephone and video counseling is becoming an increasingly popular and effective means to communicate. As our lives are becoming more hectic and stressful, there is an increasing demand for counseling and even less time and flexibility to schedule office appointments. Counseling over the telephone or through video conferencing is an easy and convenient way to get the counseling you want.

Telephone and video counseling is especially beneficial for the following types of clients: those with busy schedules, those who travel frequently, those suffering from illness, those who are caring for a loved one at home, and those with transportation challenges.

Benefits of Telephone and Video Counseling:

1. It is private and convenient.
2. You can have your counseling sessions in the comfort of your home, couch, office, hotel room, or even in your car or outdoors in the sunshine.
3. It is just as beneficial and helpful as counseling in the therapist’s office.
4. There is no additional fee for telephone or video counseling.
5. It saves you money (i.e., homecare and childcare fees, transportation costs).
6. It can happen any time of day or night and from any location in the world.
7. You don’t have to travel to an office for your appointment.
8. You can be anywhere in the world and still have face to face appointments with your counselor on live video.
9. You can make an appointment sooner than you could for an office appointment.
