Since the end of the Second World War, the technology you see around you and use every day has grown exponentially. In the consulting field, telephones, fax machines, copiers, and computers are all used to perform daily operations and transfer information. Despite how great the technology may be, ethical issues can arise because of it. For example, speaking on the phone with a client in a crisis situation can create a condition in which confidentiality can be breached. (McMinn, 1999). A new way in which technology has been used to extend services in the counseling field is through online counseling. According to Corey (2011), online counseling can be helpful because some consumers want brief and anonymous therapy, some clients who are not willing to participate in traditional therapy may be willing to accept help online, it is easier for people with physical disabilities , could be easier for clients suffering from anxiety, allows access to clients in rural locations, improves record keeping, expands the referral pool, increases flexibility in scheduling, increases options for supervision, and improves collection of research data. Despite this, Corey (2011), also discusses the disadvantages of online counseling which are as follows: high possibility of inaccurate diagnosis/treatment, confidentiality and privacy cannot be guaranteed, therapists' duty to warn and protect others is hindered, therapists suicidal clients cannot receive immediate help, it allows minors to pretend to be adults to access treatment, and it can be difficult to build and maintain a therapeutic alliance.
