  Are there situations where online psychologists are not appropriate?

  I think that online treatment would be good for almost everything. The few exceptions would be emergencies and suicide crisis where a psychologist would probably be able to assess the situation better in a face to face session.

  Would you see a psychologist online? Why and when would you choose this over face-to-face therapy?

  I would definitely consider seeing an online psychologist. I travel lots and have a busy work schedule so online would be really convenient. The only reason that i would prefer face to face over online is that i would develop a relationship with the psychologist and feel more comfortable with them rather than chatting to a stranger online.

  Comparing online vs face-to-face psychology, what do you think online psychology would be like?

  I think that it would be a lot less formal than face to face therapy. It would be younger and more casual. Kind of drop in when you want to have a chat versus scheduled sessions. But maybe it could be both. The thing about having it be online is that you have access throughout the day and could fit in a session whenever and wherever you feel like. This also means that the mind set might be totally different... Someone at work chatting to a psychiatrist would be very different from being at home, a hotel or in the psychologist's office. What do you think?
