Journalist:
- So, your company has set up a system that offers
online clinical-counselling, and you’re the chief
operating officer. Do you think e-therapy is more
effective for certain people?
Psychologist:
- Of course, for any therapy to be effective, it has to
meet the individual needs of patients. E-therapy
may appeal to people looking for convenience,
flexibility and privacy, in particular. College
students and workers with not much time usually
opt for our online services.

Psychologist:
- People have a tendency to think that because
you’re using an online service, it must be
impersonal and can’t have the same effect.
But it’s not true. The difference in results between
e-therapy and a face-to-face one is quite minimal.
