* Online Counseling - Guaranteed to Help You

 Online counseling can help you right now. Research is clear that this type of therapy is effective and those who've experienced it have said they would seek it out again.  My online therapy services are comprehensive.  I cover a broad spectrum of services - just a few include Sports Performance Counseling, Psychological Skills training for sports performance, anxiety, depression, relationship and marriage, family, pre-marriage, addiction/substance abuse and more.

 
          *Online Counseling, Video and Phone Counseling Options with FaceTime, Zoom or Skype.

 

            * Online Counseling by email consultation

Phone counseling is growing quickly, but most of you looking will begin with online counseling by email.  This is the most popular form of online counseling, probably due to the simplicity. If you can send and receive email, you can begin online counseling within 24 hours (during the business week). An additional benefit is that you can take your time to craft just the right question prior to sending it to us for help.

 

           * Online Counseling to set up phone counseling

My office  is located in Bend, Oregon.  I will talk by phone with you anywhere within the continental United States.  You simply sign up for a phone counseling session on my home page and I will be with you within 24-48 hours during the business week.  Phone sessions are 45 minutes.  We aim to be highly productive and encourage you to always come to calls prepared beforehand and with writing supplies handy to take plenty of notes for each session.

          * Online Counseling using Voice Over IP (VOIP) - WE USE SKYPE

 Anyone who owns a PC and a PC headset can download the Skype program from www.skype.com.  This program is free to use for PC to PC calls and we've found the quality to be the same or better than a traditional phone.   If you've ever used an Instant Messenger program such as MSN Messenger or AIM, or Yahoo Instant Messenger, it's essentially the same.  Even if you haven't Skyped before it is very easy to use.  This form of online counseling brings the personal voice into the therapy experience which can be a great connector and trust builder.

You may be accustomed to talking to others using your computer.  If not, here's how live online counseling happens using the SKYPE program.  Ive found the connection and sound quality to be better than landline and you certainly cannot beat FREE long distance to anywhere in the world!  For those of you who are tech oriented, simply download Skype from the link below.  Others of you please make sure to read the tutorial listed in step two below and we'll be helping you out in no time at all.

1. Download the program by clicking on this word - SKYPE.  It's free and easy and they guide you step-by-step.

2. Make sure to read the nice tutorial on the SKYPE site www.skype.com.  It's such an intuitive program you won't need to read the tutorial, but I did simply because I wanted to learn all I could do with the program.

3. Go back to the online and phone counseling home page and purchase a SKYPE session.  Make sure you tell us which time zone you are in for scheduling purposes.  As you confirm your order through PayPal you will have an opportunity to send a note.

4. Our office will receive an immediate notification via email from Pay Pal once the session order has been placed.  Our staff will contact you for scheduling within 24-48 hours and most often the initial session will occur within that time as well, during the business week.

 It's that simple!

* Online Counseling  using Voice Over IP (VOIP) - WE USE SKYPE

For those of you who'd like to talk live but live outside the USA, I use Skype.  Anyone who owns a PC and a PC headset can download the Skype program from www.skype.com.  This program is free to use for PC to PC calls and we've found the quality to be the same or better than a traditional phone.   If you've ever used an Instant Messenger program such as MSN Messenger or AIM, or Yahoo Instant Messenger, it's essentially the same.  Even if you haven't Skyped before it is very easy to use.  One week ago I taught a woman how to download it, install it and we were up and talking in about 6 minutes.  This form of online counseling brings the personal voice into the therapy experience which can be a great connector and trust builder.
