Obviously online counseling is not for everybody. For some, the distance may feel too great, making it a hindrance instead of a safety enhancement. There will not be a therapist there to give you a hug at the end of the session, or to hand you a tissue if you cry. There is a definite need to be as clear as possible in the wordings because there are no visual clues, no facial expressions, no vocal inflections, and no body language available to help in the interpretation of information, from either side of the computer. Furthermore, all emergency situations are being managed from a distance, and AbuseConsultants.com will not be familiar with the resources in your local area for hands-on support.

AbuseConsultants.com will compensate for these disadvantages as much as possible. Please remember, there are realistic limitations.
