  Can you recieve online counseling for depression

  I'm sorry if I am out of line but I think I need to point out that , as I suspected, this is a paid service - just check the links. Is this within Tangler guidelines? Not that I'm too god with rules myself but.......

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

  One idea that I had was a sliding emotion scale, colours, or other visual tools to help people express their emotion. What do you think?

    Sooooo, if someone typed a message that looked something like this then you would know they were feeling more than a little bit blue???

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

  It doesn't sound very personal or professional to me. If every person had the same problem, solved by the same answer you could simply send out a nice little mail package to solve their woes.

  "Drop by when you want?" "Chat to whoever happens to be on the other end of the keyboard? I'm not sure I'd recommend that experience, nor would I think any qualified "counsellor" find that it validates their expertise in any way either. but if you really think it is appropriate, you can already get that sort of experience  on tangler from some fairly intelligent people who know just as little about you as a counsellor you've never met - just a thought.
