Website Real World Therapy - Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy by Cora Schwartz

March 10, 2005

Cora Schwartz, the owner of My Retreat maintains a private practice as a psychotherapist in both New York City and Sullivan County.

With the growth of the internet, services are being provided in ways never thought possible. Mental Health Counseling, something traditionally done in a professional's office, has now become something that can be achieved "online". Online Mental Health Counseling shares many similarities to traditional Mental Health Counseling, but is also different in some ways. It does not offer the physical face to face encounter, but this is not necessarily a hindrance.

Homepage of the site

As a low budget project the site has a simple but neat blog-style look and feel. Nevertheless a lot of attention was paid to usability and accessibility as it is designed mostly for people who don't work with internet too much. The website is done in XHTML with CSS used for easy control over visual style.
