Best Practices in e-Therapy: Definition and Scope

Dr. Grohol's Psych Central: "What is e-therapy?

E-therapy is a new modality of helping people resolve life and relationship issues. It utilizes the power and convenience of the Internet to allow simultaneous (synchronous) and time-delayed (asynchronous) communication between an individual and a professional. The focus of e-therapy varies from client to client. Some clients will want to discuss interpersonal relationships, or learn new ways of dealing with stress. Other clients may use e-therapy as an adjunct to other types of real-world services, or to help clarify issues they are currently working on. Still others will use e-therapy to 'check-in' from time to time with an objective third-party professional to take stock in their life and work on more philosophical life issues. "
