	Description:	Is seeing a therapist online an oxymoron? Though the idea of "seeing" a therapist online doesn't make immediate sense, e-therapy is most definitely finding its market. In 2000, more than 60,000 online therapy sessions occurred over the Internet. That doesn't include hundreds of therapists who offered clients private online chat or e-mail sessions. And the numbers grow daily. In this program we present an overview of the mechanics, the legalities, the ethical issues, and the treatment modalities that seem to be best suited--although the data won't be in for years. Here, we present interviews with two therapists who are working exclusively or almost exclusively with clients online. First, Barbara Adams, M.S.Ed., LPC, describes her clinical work. Richard Sansbury, Ph.D., Philosophy, Psychology, presents his clinical work, innovative use of Rational Emotive therapy online.
