Therapists turning to Skype for online counseling sessions (Digital Trends)

Posted: 24 Sep 2011 02:11 PM PDT

Digital Trends - According to a recent story in the New York Times, psychiatrists and psychologists are turning to online video conferencing with products like Skype to counsel patients. This method of treatment is designed for people who want more flexibility in appointment timing as well as prefer engaging with a therapist in the comfort of their own home. Using a video conferencing client like Skype also allows the therapist to charge less for sessions due to the money saved on transportation and office expenditures. In addition, appointments are less likely to be canceled or missed due to inclement weather conditions, traffic jams or other delays. This also allows patients to continue working with a therapist in case of relocation by either party.

Taking efforts to stay ahead of the curve, the product has evolved to bypass the print era into its current web-based form and mobile presence. For example, the Yellow Pages & Gas Prices app's mid-September update emphasizes local to the max, giving consumers the ability to find the best gas prices and share local deals on goods. Despite YP's shift into mobile apps, you can still let your fingers do the walking.

As new people join the hangout, notifications pop up on the iPhone screen and the user can add any of these people to a circle during the video stream. The app also allows the users to switch between the two cameras on the smartphone as well as mute the audio in case the user needs to switch to headphones for a private call.
