eCounseling (Distance Counseling)
“I know I need help, but finding a good counselor is a pain. Besides, it’s expensive; and my schedule’s far too complicated.”
Is life just beating you to a pulp? Okay, maybe it’s about psychopathology. However, other issues and stressors may be causing the problems. How ’bout this list?
- My depression is out of control.
- Anxiety is destroying my “life.”
- My mood cycling is tearing me apart (as well as my loved ones).
- Something is very wrong, but I don’t know what it is.
- I have no direction or purpose in life, and I’m totally unfulfilled.
- I’m thinking about going back to school, but don’t know what to do.
- Is it time for a career change?
- My substance abuse issues are eating me alive. Help!
- I’m 70 years old and have lost all zest for life.
If any of the above rang true, I can help. Please consider my eCounseling services.
“So what’s eCounseling?”
eCounseling is a powerful and effective mode of therapeutic work that takes place electronically. Yes, we’ll use one, or a combination, of the following – email, telephone, real-time video, and real-time chat to bring relief and healing. Your choice!
If you’re concerned about privacy, we can use safe and secure encryption that’s HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant.
eCounseling is accepted and popular. The American Psychological Association acknowledges “e-therapy” (eCounseling) in the introduction to its code of ethics. The American Counseling Association has official e-therapy guidelines for clinicians.
According to psychologist Lisa K. Richardson of Murdoch University, Australia…
“…high levels of satisfaction and acceptance with tele-mental health have been consistently demonstrated among patients across a variety of clinical populations and for a broad range of services.”
“Why would I choose eCounseling?”
First and foremost, it works. But there’s much more to my eCounseling services…
- More affordable than office counseling.
- Much more flexibility in dates and times for appointments.
- In addition to scheduled appointments, I’m there for you in-the-moment when you’re having a tough time.
- We can have a traditional weekly/biweekly counseling relationship, or I can be there for you even just once for consultation.
“Why would I want to work with you, Bill?”
“Why Bill White?” is actually the most important question of all.
My ability to help you achieve relief and healing is grounded in a unique blend of two perspectives. I’m a licensed counselor; however, I’ve “been there, done that.”
For decades, panic and generalized anxiety disorders, anxiety-associated depression, and alcoholism ruled my life. Through hard work, blind faith, and a never-quit attitude, I overcame all of them.
I know the misery and pinball life-direction within which you may be living. I know deep and dark hopelessness. And I also know the exhilaration of victory over a seemingly unconquerable adversary.
Who better to guide you out of the woods?
And one more important point. As with any counselor you may be considering, you’ve never met me. Certainly, we’ll have the opportunity to chat before you make a decision regarding working together. But, in the meantime, you can get a real feel for who I am, and my potential for helping you, by perusing chipur – including the hundreds of articles.
What a great way to establish a sense of comfort!
