Online counseling is a growing means of interaction for counselors and clients. This paper presents an interview among three counselors who simultaneously describe and demonstrate skills they use in their e-mail counseling practices. The interviewer and the interviewees all have been involved in the development of online counseling. The skills they have developed for asynchronous text-only communication are relevant to many types of distance therapeutic communication. The interview excerpts contain a discussion of these skills.
