  Are there situations where online psychologists are not appropriate?

  I think that online treatment would also be great for bringing people that might otherwise not seek help into contact with a psychologist. This might also be an in between step toward face to face therapy. What do you think?

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

  I'm thinking that people in remote areas may not have the band width to support voice or video chat. Do you have any ideas about other creative ways that people could express emotion online?

  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?

  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?
