It’s the spring of 2015, and I am providing online counseling at Talkspace, an internet-based mental healthclinicwith easy access to counselors and therapists. How did I get here!?

Considered a classic in the field, it was one of the first works to advocate Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), which later became known as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Today, however, we refer to it as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and it is considered to be the most effective non-medicinal, evidence-based treatment for anxiety anddepressionwe have. CBT basically reinforces the popular notion that it is not the situation that makes us anxious or depressed, it’s how we think about it. In other words, CBT has nothing to do with positive thinking, and everything to do with thinking realistically.
In late 2006, I left a job where I had worked for a number of years as a direct service provider, program manager, clinical director, and administrator. I then started building my own online business, offering online counseling and internet-based therapy services. Back then, very few providers (clinics) offered web-based mental health care. There were some, however, and I joined one, then another, and one more after that.
Over the years, numerous mental health practitioners got on the bandwagon. Today, there are many online counseling providers, one of which is Talkspace. It’s very modern, cost-effective, and convenient to use. And, most importantly, it is very effective – different research studies confirm the efficacy of online counseling services!
Talkspace offers, as the motto states, “therapy for how we live today”, because the service can be accessed not only from your primary computer, but also from your smart phone, laptop or tablet, wherever you might be. In some respects, it’s even safer and more private than traditional face-to-face therapy, since you don’t need to go out in public, and when you create your profile it can. Furthermore, internet-based therapy is less expensive to procure – you save money on travel costs, not to mention the headache associated with finding and paying for parking.
If you need help addressing any of these issues, you can always find me at Talkspace. We all experience various “crisis”, well before and after midlife. These types of events can and should be dealt with. When you sign up for online counseling with Talkspace, you are coupled with a caring and supportive therapist that will do his or her best to make you feel a lot better than you do right now – hopefully i’ll see you there.
Give online counseling a chance to improve your life.
