About 6 months ago I looked into the same thing....For me...it was very positive. I'll go back through my emails and find what site I went through. I spoke with a very caring and good therapist.
If you have the means to do it...I'd say go right ahead....I found it was alot easier for me to be open with my feelings and revealed and talked about alot more with her than I have or would have any face-to-face therapist.
