Why would an online-only therapist be any more likely than one with a physical office to work non-traditional hours? Therapists in private practice generally set their own hours, regardless of the medium that they use for communication.
But since you mentioned Live Person, I just wanted to mention that they get a 38% commission from all client fees that therapists collect through the website. It's not a website that I would use because I do not support their business model - since the therapist does the bulk of the work, he should get the bulk of my fees.
