DISCUSSION
The study emphasizes several important points for students in light of online counseling services. Robinson
(2009) states that “The speed with which technology has become an integral part of modern day living is
astounding” (p.1). Technology brings changes every phase of life. Therefore, school environments are influenced
by these changes and people are also affected by these changes. Education system is also influenced by these
changes. Namely, technological developments cause differences for human beings. The purpose of the study is
to indicate psychological counseling students’ and experts (who are psychological counselor)’s views about the
online counseling services. The findings of the study illustrate that psychological counselors and students (who
are studying psychological counseling and guidance) want to get benefit from online counseling services. For
instance, school psychological counselors are not content with the numbers of students. Generally, they complain
about students’ numbers. Also, school counselors do not have enough course time especially in state schools,
that is why, school counselors are willingly to use online counseling services to reach students more than classic
counseling services. “Online modules offer an opportunities to overcome barriers to educational delivery”
(Skye.et.al., 2011, p.185).
