With the growing acceptance of internet and web based online communication tools like web chat, web cam ( webcam ) and Skype, online counseling is being more and more accepted as an alternative to face-to-face psychological treatment. This has given rise to a new term, ‘online psychologist’. This is usually when a psychologist uses internet media like webchat and webcam to perform preliminary assessments or to hold counseling sessions; he or she would be termed as an online psychologist.

All professionals at Psyshrink.com provide online counseling services. Thus, they can be referred to as online psychologists. Clients can discuss their problems with online psychologists through email, chat or webcam. Online counseling has several advantages which make this concept more and more popular. An individual can have an assessment or a therapy session right from the comfortable environment of their homes where they feel secure. Also, online counseling is less expensive as cost effective means such as email, chat and webcam are used. There is no parking hassles, no commuting issues and an individual can go for a therapy at any time that suits him. He or she has less reason to feel anxious or threatened by therapy, a phenomenon which can sometimes be observed in the traditional face-to-face setting. People tend to express themselves more freely with an online psychologist as they don’t sit right in front of him. They know that there is the ‘boundary of the internet’ between them and the online psychologist. This is another reason why online counseling can provide better therapeutic results, especially in cases where people have trouble expressing themselves face-to-face.
