Q: Why online consultation?
A: Online consultation can easily cross physical barriers to travel like bad weathers and traffic congestion. It also eliminates the implicit cost to accomplish a meet-up like commuting time.

In addition, most people have resistance to face their issues/problems upfront with a consultant (or stranger), (and in fact most people missed the opportunity to reach for help because of that) , online setting fosters the possibility to cross one’s psychological burden to seek assistance.
Q: Online consultation with video call or voice call?
A: In principle, it is mainly video call. Video call allow both parties to meet with each other at a close-to-reality level, breaking away unnecessary imaginations.
