Personal, Private
Advice by Email - Frequently Asked
Questions:
What is Online Advice?
Online advice is an exciting,
unique way to help people resolve life, career & relationship
issues through the ease of the
Internet. It is similar to in-person counseling and coaching, but it's
easier, more immediate, and definitely more economical.
Can Online Advice Really Help Me?
Of
course! Email is just a modern way to get advice. With Email advice,
you get a chance to consider what the online advisor is suggesting, at
your leisure, instead of being overwhelmed by listening and absorbing it
immediately, in-person.
When
you choose an expert online
advisor, it is on a professional,
confidential basis. The focus is always on you. There is
never a need to feel embarrassed
or shy. The advisor can't see you, but through the Inte4rnet, you will
be solving problems, removing obstacles, and working towards the
happiness and success you deserve!
Like any
other type of counseling, online advice is what you make it. If you
seriously consider what is being said and act on it, it may help you
develop a new outlook, and new solutions to your issues. If you
are not receptive to the suggestions, or you're not willing to make
positive change, no advice will be effective.
How Do I Choose An Online Advisor?
As with
any professional advice, the quality
of online advisors can
vary at great deal. Please do your research and
get
recommendations. If you want my personal, private advice by Email,

Who is Most Likely To Benefit From Online Advice?
Everyone can benefit from online
advice, but those who seem to benefit to most are:
people who are
comfortable on computers and normally spend time, online
people who
may not have easy access to an in-person counselor
people who
may be shy about in-person counseling
people who can express themselves relatively well in written or verbal
communication
People who
have a hectic lifestyle
that makes in-person counseling
difficult
People who
don't want to wait for appointments and who want answers to their
issues quickly
People who
are on a budget,
but still want high quality advice.
Are There Any
Specific Benefits to Online Advice?
Yes,
actually there are!
Online advice has some very specific benefits.
Convenience: You don't have to leave your home or office--online
counseling gives you the freedom to choose how and when you get
advice without wasting time (or adding to your carbon footprint).
Affordability: Online advice is considerably less expensive than in-person
counseling so you may feel more likely to try it.
Easy Access To Professionals: Online advice gives you access
to the counselor you want, regardless of where you live.
Fast Action: Response time is fast--usually less than 24 hours. The
waiting list for an in-person consultation can take days, or weeks!
Empowering Control: Online counseling works very well if you listen,
and then do what it takes to move forward. Your destiny is always
in your control.
PRIVACY:
The
Internet is a great way to connect with others, but using chat rooms
or other social networking sites, posting on public bulletin boards, or
sending questions to unknown "advisors" is not the way to handle an intimate
question or problem! Online advice with a qualified, private,
counselor safeguards your privacy My online services come
with my reputation, as well as my good advice.

Important:
online advice is a fast, effective, affordable
and rewarding way to
help change your life for the better, but it is not a
substitute for in-person advice from a mental health
professional. If you have a very serious or potentially
life-threatening problem, I urge you to immediately call a local hot line or visit a
local crisis center in your area. To find help, do an online search
or check the phone book.
