What is video counseling? Video counseling is a counseling approach that takes the best practices of traditional counseling as well as some of its own unique advantages and adapts them for delivery to clients via electronic means in order to maximize the use of technology-assisted counseling techniques. The technology-assisted methods may include telecounseling (telephone), secure e-mail communication, chat, videoconferencing or stand-alone software programs.
How is online counseling different than face-to-face counseling? There are many differences between online and traditional counseling. Online counseling may be more convenient for clients. While telecounseling takes place in real time and does depend on "making an appointment,” traveling and related formalities do not present obstacles.
In its own way, online counseling may also present its own special advantages beyond the replication of best practices from face-to-face counseling. For example, some clients prefer the anonymity of a distance counseling relationship and are more free to open up and self-disclose than they would be in a traditional counseling setting.
