The current pandemic situation makes people unable to do activities face-to-face, so everything is
recommended online. This includes also counseling psychological problems aka mental health. So, what
should be done so that the counseling done can be maximized?

Before finally doing onlinepsychological counseling,you are recommended to evaluate your emotional
state. How's the move? Here's the stage:

1. Take Time Every Day to Check Yourself


The first step to knowing if you're really not okay is to get used to paying attention to your feelings or
emotions. Check your stress response. Can you check with whether your heart is pounding? Do you feel
nauseous? Are you having trouble breathing?

2. Record Your Thoughts and Emotions


This is done by keeping a journal or writing about the difference between having negative thoughts or concerns
and being bound in negative thoughts or anxiety in the future. Value how your actions can affect yourself and
others. If you're attacking someone you love or thinking of hurting yourself, that's a big sign you need to talk to
someone.

3. Empathize with Yourself


Realize if you're trying to help yourself and it's ineffective, then it's affecting quality of life, it's time to ask for
help. Because it is currently a pandemic, one way you can do is to do online psychological counseling..

How to Do Online Psychology Counseling

Finding a therapist online is a similar process to seeking therapy in real life. Unless, your counseling sessions
are done virtually with sessions by phone or video.

You can start by filtering referrals from acquaintances or trusted people who can provide recommendations.

It's a good thing that you consider before deciding to do a session by checking the background of his
specialization. Whether the therapist is familiar with substance abuse treatments, specifically dealing with
relationship problems, or anxiety disorders. In addition, also consider what kind of methods are used to solve
the problem.

When starting the session, start by explaining what your problem is and what your expectations are with this
counseling. The principle is almost the same as a face-to-face counseling session, it's just that you do it
online.
Just make sure your network or internet connection is good enough, so that communication can take place
smoothly. Is online counseling effective enough? In the end, this depends on the characteristics of the
person.. (Firnanda)
