Virtual Counseling - SCOTT CARLSON

As campus psychologists go online, they reach more students, but may also risk lawsuits. Amy, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, thought something in her life had gone wrong, and she went to talk to a friend about it.

At the Web site, Amy found information about the university's counseling center, including pictures of the counselors and pamphlets about topics like homesickness and drug addiction.
