I was extremely skeptical of using this online platform, how could I possibly build a therapeutic relationship with a counselor I'm texting? But I was going through so much at the time that I just said why not let's try it. I'm so thankful I did because whenever I need someone to talk to, I can text my counselor right away. They get to me promptly, plus there's phone calls and video options available, so it can still be a very personal therapeutic relationship literally at any moment.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
