The internet is proving to be a window of opportunity for many professions in North Dakota including the counseling profession. North Dakota native Tracy Tormaschy recently appeared on the Dr. Phil show because of her role as an online counselor. Tracy was contracted by Dr. Phil to counsel a couple with marital problems. <Dr. Phil, Tracy, I gave you a pretty big hill to climb here. How's it going? Tracy, Actually the amazing thing is that this couple has been so highly motivated bby your show that it's made it easy for me. Basically, all I needed to do was teach rather than motivate as well as teach.> Tormaschy worked as a licensed professional clinical counselor for 17 years before taking her profession over the internet. She says she now gets clients from all over the world and gives help over the phone or through email. She says one advantage to online couseling is that sometimes people feel more comfortable speaking about personal problems over distance.
