LivePerson Therapists: Online Help for Depression

Support for depression and online therapy can be found with LivePerson Therapists.

LivePerson is an innovative online service that offers customers the freedom to chat in real-time with experts from a broad range of categories. The expert sets a base per-minute rate and customers can hand-pick an expert from a listing of available professionals in various fields.

Depression Therapy is Often Needed, but can be Inconvenient

Millions of people are diagnosed with depression and may choose counseling to assist them. Qualified counselors can be expensive and appointments can be inconvenient. Although counseling can be a critical part of alleviating the symptoms of depression, people may choose to forego it because of the hassles associated with therapy. LivePerson therapists are qualified professionals that are available at convenient times for those seeking therapy. Customers can choose their therapist based on qualifications, price and ratings and begin therapy at their own convenience.

Depression Support in a New Setting

Historically, counseling for depression is done in a professional office environment. There are also crisis phone numbers available for those in crisis. LivePerson offers an alternative to both of these settings.

Online Therapy is Competitive

There are competitors in the "e-therapy" market. However, few offer the availability of live chat and therapist selection. Onlinecounseling.org offers e-mail sessions with qualified therapists, but no live chat option is offered. eTherapistsonline.com offers chat options as well as telephone and e-mail sessions. Neither competitor offers a per-minute chat rate.

LivePerson Depression Therapy is Unique

LivePerson offers customers the option of choosing their own therapist based on a number of factors, including qualifications. Therapists set their own per-minute rates and customers don't have to sit through an entire chat session and may exit when they choose while only paying a per-minute rate. Therapists are available at convenient times for customers.

Overall, depression therapy via the internet can be a viable option for those that desire anonymity and convenience, but still need a professional therapist.
