Composing Oneself in E-Counseling A Case Study

May 29, 2012 by Kate Anthony

E-counseling fosters getting it down in writing, seeing it in print, and composing oneself – all therapeutically beneficial, even before the first ‘session’ begins. What might be lost from the immediate give-and-take of ‘live’ conversation becomes a gain. The process has all the advantages of introspection while still being part of a clinical dialogue – one that takes place behind the scenes of appearance and personality in a shared space on the internet.

The online counseling transcript featured below is an abridged demo case based on the work of Dr. John Yaphe – client details have been modified so the correspondence is not identifiable. The usual comprehensive online intake has not been included and only the initial client-counselor exchanges are presented. Minor mistakes in grammar and spelling have been left to preserve the veracity of the transcript. Case commentary/session notes are featured in italics.
