Charlotte, NC ( prsafe ) November 21, 2011 - Anxiety and depression affect one in four American adults and, due to cost and schedule constraints, many are either unable or unwilling to seek counseling. Scheduling conflicts, transportation issues, inherent shyness and social or religious stigma too often prevent people from seeking counseling or medical treatment that could lead to a healthier, happier future.

A new online comprehensive treatment team hopes to erase those challenges. http://iTherapyRX.com, launched last month, uses a virtual office to provide access to therapists and medical staff who offer traditional counseling, life and career coaching, nutritional counseling and medical consultation at times that are convenient for clients. Clients can seek online counseling from the comfort of their own home or office in whatever manner they prefer: private online chat, phone counseling or video counseling.

?Our mission is to open the door to people who, for whatever reason, are unable to see a counselor or medical professional in a traditional setting,? said Ginger Dailey, a family nurse practitioner and founding partner of iTherapyRX. A client can register on www.itherapyrx.com, choose their counselor, set up an appointment and talk or chat with their chosen provider without ever leaving their home or office. Payments are also made online, so clients can literally seek treatment and receive help from anywhere.

?We believe in striving to help our clients achieve physical and emotional balance in their lives,? explained Carol Pulley, a licensed psychological associate and also a founding partner of iTherapyRX. ?We want to help our clients achieve balance in mind, body and spirit and provide support to those who otherwise might not be able to access the services they need.?

As licensed health professionals, Dailey and Pulley can advocate why seeking treatment is so critical. Many people do not seek treatment when they most need it, and this can lead to a crisis situation that could have been resolved or avoided with early intervention. Professional counseling or therapy can also help navigate life and career changes, relationship issues or physical illnesses that may lead to anxiety and depression. By providing numerous options for individuals to get the professional help they need, iTherapyRX can make a difference in peoples? lives from across a computer screen or telephone connection.
