I am pretty opposed to online unless it is the only absolute method of therapy available for someone. For example, if the person is physically disabled or lives in an area where there are no therapists available and no transportation to go out of the area. The reason I am opposed to this is because of the importance of non-verbal cues in therapy. Also, the important of eye contact and how powerful of a connection that can be. So much of my therapist is based upon those non-verbal cues-- Even when T and I are on the phone we have agreed that it is non as effective because we cannot "read" what the other person is feeling.
