Where the Client Is

Skype Counseling How-To Collection

Skype may still be a mystery to you.  Here, some ways to get acquainted.  As mentioned in this week’s interview with Buck Black, LCSW, Skype has the potential to change the way that you do your job, expanding your potential clients to…everyone who has access to a computer.  Dizzying?  Here are some how-tos to help you get your web legs.

First, Skype’s list of basics:

Make sure you’ve got a webcam and check:
– it’s plugged into your computer
– you’ve installed the software that came with it
– it’s switched on.

In your Contact list, find the person you want to talk to.
Click on them.

In the main window, click the green Video call button.

 

Smile, wave, say hello!

 

Useful things you can do on a video call:

  • Resize the screen – click and drag the corner of the video screen to make it bigger or smaller.
  • Move it around – click and drag the video of yourself around your screen.
  • IM at the same time – click the Show messages link at the top of the video to instant message while you’re on the call.
Here, other how-tos:
  • From eHow.
  • Videos on the topic
Also take a look at the links from the resources page from the International Society for Mental Health Online:
  • Suggested Principles for the Online Provision of Mental Health Services
  • ISMHO Online Clinical Case Study Group
  • Assessing a Person’s Suitability for Online Therapy
  • Myths & Realities of Online Clinical Work
  • Links to Online Mental Health Resources

Much more where this all came from.  To be continued…
