Yes. As I developed this site, I thoroughly researched the ethics and legalities of this type of counseling. I wanted to reassure myself that this type of counseling is both safe and beneficial.
The American Counseling Association and the National Board to Certified Counselors have issued statements acknowledging that e-counseling and telephone counseling are valid and ethical. They have written some specific guidelines for practicing this type of counseling, and I have made every attempt to adhere to these guidelines on my website and in my practice with client.
I will also use my site to make clients and the public aware of any updates to these guidelines.
