30 of the Punniest Puns You Can Find

Considering the popularity of the internet, as well as technology which allows online chat, video, MP3 recordings, etc, it is not surprising that more and more people are seeking online relationship counseling. Whether you are wanting help with dating issues, seeking help to cope with a break up, or having marital problems for which you need some advice, online relationship counseling may be a viable option for you if you are unable to find a therapist locally, or if you just want the ease and convenience of getting counseling right in the comfort of your own home.

More and more mental health professionals are offering their services via the internet. For professionals who choose to only offer online relationship counseling, this can save them the overhead costs of having an office, and also allow them to expand their practice to clients they might not otherwise be able to see in person. Of course, it is imperative that they work within the bounds of their expertise and adhere to any limitations of their license, such as location of their clients as most licenses are specific to a given state.

So how does online relationship counseling work? To some degree, that will depend on the particular professional or group who is offering the service, but many function very similarly to traditional face to face counseling. The main difference being the medium in which the counseling is delivered. Online options usually include email, online chat via typed text or audio with a microphone, or video sessions using a web cam and microphone. The majority also provide counseling via telephone.

While some do offer free online relationship counseling, most do require that you pay for your sessions, just as you would for the same services in person. And while the fees may vary, typically they are going to be about the same amount you would pay to see a therapist in his or her office. One of the advantages in terms of fees when using this medium is that many online therapists have the option of short sessions or consultations, in addition to the traditional 50 minute to one hour sessions that are standard with most mental health professionals.

Before pursuing any type of online relationship counseling, it is important that you have some way of verifying the credentials and training of the therapist you will be working with. The internet is fraught with scams, so be sure the therapist discloses his or her first and last name, the type of degree (e.g., M.A., PsyD, PhD, MD, etc.) and the school from which he or she graduated. Also, they should disclose their licensure status. With this information you can easily verify whether or not the information they provide is accurate or not by contacting the school and licensing board.

Before you start with any particular online therapist you also want to find out the person's particular areas of experience and expertise. If you are seeking help for marriage problems, for example, then it is best to obtain help from someone who specializes in or at least has experience helping married couples with their issues.

Mental health services which are available via the internet are not limited to relationship counseling. Many professionals can provide help for other issues as well including substance abuse, family therapy, career guidance, as well as specific disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and many others.

If you are struggling with issues in your marriage or other relationships, online relationship counseling is definitely an alternative you may want to consider. It is worth looking into if you live in a remote area where qualified professionals are either limited or are too far away, or if you just prefer the convenience the internet can provide.

Who else wants a great psychic reading, but can't afford those celebrity prices? Have you ever priced what one of those TV readers charge for 30 or 60 minutes of their time? Trust me....if you have, you already know it's NOT an easy thing to afford! Prices of $500 an hour or MORE are not uncommon...and I've seen some well known intuitives charge well over 4 figures for LESS than an hour of their attention.

Want to know the truth?

As someone who has seen, written about and RESEARCHED psychics for over 20 years, I've found that some of my WORST readings actually came at the hands of some of the most expensive psychics! And one of my FAVORITE readings cost $18.00...and was SO good it blew me away.

The SECRET to getting a "wow" reading at a great price ANYONE can afford?

Look for psychic services that offer DEEP discounts for first time callers or clients. The fact is, there are ELITE level psychic networks that truly employ the cream of the crop of online intuitive's, clairvoyants, mediums and sensitives, who will literally shave OFF 80% of their rates to entice you to call for the very first time.

Why would they do this?

Because the OTHER secret of the psychic industry is this: Any reputable psychic who makes a living from readings, has a community of continuous callers and clients, gleaned from years of trust building, credibility creating and amazing insights offered to their customers. And the fact is, about 50% of us who are "wowed" by a reading, will call back or re-visit that intuitive many times in the future. So they are WILLING to almost "give-away" their first reading, just to prove to you they are real...with the hope that you'll keep coming back for years to come down the road.

It really IS that easy...and it really IS a win/win situation for everyone involved. To make it even a BETTER deal? Many of these exact same services offer 100% money back guarantees...meaning you truly CAN'T lose, even if you're reading is not what you expected! (and that's the REAL secret that I use to get AMAZING readings that I know are going to be great!)
