Online Therapists?

New postby Debbi » 29 Oct 2012, 10:40

Hi, are there any websites that offer free online therapy or counseling? I really need someone to talk to! I made a horrible decision that I cannot undo and it eats me every second of the day, I dont know how to live with it. I just need to learn to cope. Thanks!

No, even if you could find an "online therapist", I would not recommend using this service. It is legal for anyone to call themselves a "counselor" or "therapist", but in order to call yourself a "social worker", "case worker", "psychologist", "psychiatrist", etc, you must have multiple university/college degrees. Anyone who claims they are a therapist online can technically be any person, and since it is online you don't know who you're dealing with.

Online support groups were mentioned, but if you've done something that you don't feel comfortable sharing with many others or that is specific to you, those may not be of much help.

If you are in school, you can go to your school's counselling services and talk to them, or if you are in Canada you can go talk to some therapists free of charge (under certain circumstances).

But I would recommend trying to talk to a close friend or family member first, to save the extra trouble.

Does Anyone Know Of Any FREE Online Therapists?

New postby Tony » 29 Oct 2012, 10:40

I was wondering if there's a FREE online therapist? I know almost every single one costs, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any free ones? I just need someone to talk too, but all info has to be confidential.

Any answers greatly appreciated. :0)
Thank you so much!
