This is a valid question and one many family counselors are wrestling with. The quick answer is there is too much exposure to malpractice lawsuits. Also, there is too much opportunity for one party to lock onto some particular statement made by the counselor. In face-to-face conversation, the counselor can make a statement and if one party jumps on it and says “See, I’m right and you’re wrong!” the counselor can immediately respond and change the emphasis. If it is in writing, then after the session is over, one party can point to a particular statement and give their own interpretation…which may or may not be the interpretation intended by the counselor. So we’re dealing with a delicate area here. Having said all that, there are some counselors who will do on-line therapy. Another thing to recognize is that coming to this forum you are inviting amateur counseling…of, I might add, varying degrees of comfort and accuracy. Sorry I couldn’t give you something more specific.
