Here's What Just Some of My Clients Have to Say...
"My experience with your counseling
service was and still is life-changing. I am in a better place in my life and
I have learned boundary placement empowerment strategies to help me deal with
my imperfections and the imperfections of others and how to start learning to
navigate my relationships, questioning all beliefs and how I fit in that
picture. At first, I honestly was expecting someone to tell me what to do
because I was so lost and scared. But you provided me with more important
tools...to stop, think, ask questions of yourself and of others to gain
clarity instead being scared...that we are doing our best with the tools we
have and that when all is said and done...we are still God's children in all
our imperfections."
"I came to OnlineCounseling.org because I
needed help communicating better in my current relationship and to try to work
on my flight or fight responses. Ewa was so perfect because it allowed me to
get the insight that I needed, gain helpful tools to use not only now but
going forward and I was able to do all this from my own computer- on my
time and for an affordable price. The emails I received from Ewa were so
helpful. There are no words to say how much you have helped me. I
have taken the information and tools you have provided for me and each day I
become more and more aware of my feelings and my reactions to things and how
to stop it from spinning out of control. Also, the length of the emails were
perfect because they were genuine and direct, but just enough that I still
needed to look inside myself and ask myself some deep questions. Thank
you so much! I would recommend online counseling to anyone who is looking for
someone to talk to and give them insight and helpful tools for not only
current issues but going forward all for an affordable price. This
service has changed my life!"
"Thank you so much for being active and available to help
me and my now fiancée deal with some urgent relationship issues. Your advice was viewed as good not only by me, but my
really skeptical partner who has never used any type of counselling before. We both felt that you were impartial and there to help us
both resolve our issues objectively with care."
"The length of the emails was very appropriate and
made me feel as though I was getting the right amount of service. I was very
pleased with the overall experience of online counseling via email, as this
provided me with a thorough explanation of the problem, time to think about
your comments and how I reacted to them as well as being able to take my time
in responding. I believe that the monetary value of my counseling was very
fair, and would not hesitate to use these services again. I came to you with a
very specific problem, and without hesitation you addressed this problem, and
did not try to work around it. While there were other factors that needed to
be addressed, this problem required immediate attention, and I am very happy
with the results of my counseling sessions. If I require more assistance in
the future, I will not hesitate to contact you. I have told several people
about the great experience I have had. My husband and I are doing quite well
at the moment, and have learned to communicate much better over the last
several months. I truly appreciate all that you have done for us!"
"The online counseling process was very beneficial.
It allowed me to work through some key issues at the convenience of my own
schedule without having to leave my home. The simplicity of this process makes
working through difficult issues much easier. I feel everyone should give
online counseling a try and see how much it helps!"
"I have kept in mind all the tools and information I
received from the email sessions. I really enjoyed the sessions and the
idea of seeing my situation through a "stranger's" point-of-view.
Talking with you really helped me see how over board I was when handling my
situation and its effects of it in my daily life. I no longer judge my
self so much, but I must admit I still do it. But the thought of your
words "very innocent situation" echo through my mind and remind me
that I am perfectly capable of living a full and happy life if I don't beat
upon my self.....
The feedback I received from onlinecounseling.org was
useful and I like the convenience and the autonomy of the online services.
I was reminded by my counselor that people often react and fight to
defend themselves out of fear of being "attacked" and this
has given me a better understanding of some recent relationship
challenges in my family."
"I was googling 'emotional numbness' one day to try
and understand what my husband was going through and i happened to stumble
across Ewa's website. It was the best link i ever clicked on! After
reading through her inspirational and well written blog, i decided to give
online counselling a whirl. Ewa is a truly talented individual. She
responded very quickly to my emails and asked wonderful thought provoking
questions to understand the problem as best she could. Her advice was
extremely helpful and it is incredible how much insight she has into the human
mind and behavior. I would definitely recommend using this service!"
"Ewa can remove blocks in thought and deed that few
others can and in short order. She can allow light into the darkest corners
which is the strongest disinfectant."
"Though I was doubtful at first, careful
consideration of your ideas enabled me to view the circumstances of my
situation from the eyes of my partner."
"Ewa's counseling suggestions help me reduce my
anxiety about my relationship difficulties so I could make more authentic
decisions about my situation"
"Ewa was a great counselor. She helped see things
more clear through my struggles in finding out what is right and what is
wrong. She helped me develop my communication skills. She taught me to always
ask "why" to everything people say to me so I can understand them
and not just to take what they say to me as an absolute truth.
Ewa has helped me through our sessions to take the right decision and to take
the right direction and path in my life. Thank you Ewa for all your help."
"Ewa brought up things I did not think to look at in
myself. She is insightful and I found she was very helpful as a guide
for me through a difficult time. I would recommend her to anyone who is
stuck with something and needs to look or go about things in a different
direction. She is very kind and patient."
"Tim and I knew we had found "the one"
instantly. But after five years, we weren't so sure. Ewa helped us
remember why we'd fallen in love in the first place, and opened new lines of
communication. Our relationship is stronger than ever! My now fiancé and I were angry with each other for a long
time. We'd tried to work through things but it always resulted in an
argument. We were on the verge of calling it quits - and then we found
Ewa online. Emailing opened a non-threatening line of communication that
let each of of process and understand what the other was saying. We were
still angry with one another for a while, but we understood each other. Once
the understanding came, the anger dissipated. Our relationship is now
moving forward again!
We were skeptical about the online counseling at first -
but we needed something. This was affordable, convenient, and saved our
relationship! Email allowed us to both get out our entire thoughts so
that the other could read and process, without interjecting with an insult.
Ewa guided us through our emotions, and introduced techniques to help
our arguments turn into simple disagreements that could be constructively
worked through. Thank you, Ewa!"
"I'm super awful about opening up, but Ewa helped
me along the way. She didn't get mad at my tentativeness or push me
too hard. She did, however, help me to feel comfortable about the entire
experience and, best of all, I learned more about myself and my situation along
the way. I still use tools she taught me during our sessions almost every day."
"I found the whole online counseling experience to
be interesting and different, requiring some time to get used to, but a
wonderful medium especially for people who might have problems initially seeing
someone for face to face counseling."
"I wandered upon Ewa's website by chance this winter
at, what I now realize, was a critical crossroad in my life. I was physically
and mentally exhausted. I felt hopeless and stuck. I emailed her figuring that
at worst nothing would change, or at best I'd be given some good advice. Ewa did
far better than just offer good advice. Over a very brief, intensive time period
she responded to my heartfelt despair with thought provoking words that were
both challenging and supportive but always empathetic and genuine. Ewa made
available to me simple tools that helped me calm the storm I had created in my
life. Those tools have allowed me to calmly, rationally make overdue changes.
Months later, the results of those changes are coming into full fruition. I can
earnestly say that though life always will have challenges, I am truly more
content and excited to be alive than I have been in years. All that to say I
sincerely recommend emailing Ewa:)"
""I spent several hours and went back
and read through our earlier emails and correspondence, I was amazed at how much
I had missed of what you were saying. You have an amazing insight and gift. (you
can use that statement as a review)"
"When I needed a voice of reason and empathy during a
very difficult time when I had nobody to turn to for advice, Ewa was there. It
made a huge difference because I felt I was not alone in this and so you gave me
the strength to step back, take a deep breath and consider what to do next.
Thank you."
"Ewa has asked me to write a few
words regarding the counselling I have received from her and I am so pleased to
do so. I had lost my dear mother and had many conflicting feelings about
my behaviour towards her in those last weeks and days. I felt I had let
her down somehow and these feelings haunted me for over three years. In
desperation, I looked online for a counsellor that might say a few words to help
me. I came across Ewa’s website and wrote to her and the counselling she
gave me showed me that things were not as they had seemed to me. In her
professional but very empathic way she led me to understand where my mind had
been fabricating stories and what the real situation was. She was able to
point these out to me in such a way that I was able to understand my feelings
and was able to put some of those terrible misunderstandings that had caused me
so much pain aside. She is a miracle worker! However, she
explained to me that I had been very ready to try to resolve my problem which
had helped me to understand her counselling and that was why everything seemed
to fall in place so quickly. I plan to visit Ewa again online to continue
to work on the recommendations she has put to me.”
"I cannot adequately express how valuable Ewa's help
was to me. She was the perfect answer for me as I was searching for some
extra guidance and support during a very difficult time in my marriage and in my
life's circumstances. She was able to help me rise above what I was going
through so that I could see my situation more clearly (and from a different
perspective), offer doable, tangible, and effective suggestions, and provide
some great emotional support, as well.
It was obvious to me, while reading her emails, that this was not just a job to
her, but that her intentions are to truly help others get through difficulties
healthier and stronger. Her insight came at a critical time in my life,
and her assistance helped me come out of a very dark place. The pricing
and accessibility online are more than reasonable - especially when considering
the valuable contribution Ewa makes to one's life."
"When we decided
to give Online Counseling a try (for couples counseling), we were a little nervous that the email
format might not work -- that we might not feel comfortable to write down all
of our problems in detail. However, as time went by, and we saw what
insightful comments and guiding questions Ewa was able to respond with, we
both quickly realized that the process of writing was really therapeutic, and
ultimately Online Counseling was much more successful than our previous
attempts at face-to-face counseling. Ewa was understanding but definitely
challenged us to dig deep and open up. We have never been happier, thanks to
the changes brought about by our email counseling sessions. We are doing so
well, and our communication is the best it has ever been. We are truly doing
better now, married over 11 years, than when were newlyweds."
"Ewa gives informative responses and
thought-provoking questions. She encouraged me to see things in a different
light and to understand myself. Thank you very much Ewa!"
"My experience with your services were essential in
a critical time in my life. I felt like my mind I was spiraling out of control
and did not know how to stop. This was extremely frustrating to me for I
am a successful female with a lot going for myself yet felt completely lost.
Your services brought me "back to earth" and helped me find my
triggers and apply common sense and reality to the situation at hand. You also
helped me remember and understand there are always choices and "it is
what it is" and I can control my actions to a situation I cannot
control. Your prompt and insightful responses were instrumental in helping me
get through a challenging time in my life."
"I found Online Counseling via a search engine and
wasn't sure what to expect. After looking closely at the website I gave it a
shot and was absolutely delighted. Ewa got back to me quickly and gave me
exactly the support and guidance I needed right there and then. After that,
she helped me above and beyond to what I had expected and am happy to
recommend her. It's been so good to get sensitive, objective and detached
advice."
"I first found Ewa on the internet when I wasn't
sure where to turn next. My relationship felt as though it was dying; I
had no idea what to do about it. I decided to give online counseling a
try. Little did I know how powerful and
inspiring an online/email counseling relationship could turn out to be.
In those lonely hours when I didn't know where to turn, I'd
put my thoughts and feelings into an email. That, in itself, was somehow
helpful. However, her replies were always consistently soothing, helpful,
inspirational and uplifting. Even though we never met, I felt as though
she could see the pain in my heart. I could feel the compassion in her
soul. She always gave me a different perspective from which to see my
situation. One in which I was not the victim or the lost soul. She helped
me see that my situation was actually a culmination of choices I made from deep
within my own soul."
"What you say to me resonates very deeply and is the
first time ever in a lifetime of on again/off again counseling where I am
really making permanent progress. I am so glad I found you on the web!"
"What was important to me about trying Ewa's site
was the anonymity and convenience of the approach. I was surprised to
find however how personal the dialogue was between us. I was able to be
honest and straightforward with her about my issues in a way I wasn't
comfortable doing with others in my life at the time. Her responses were
direct and thorough an she gave me questions to work through on my own after
our email conversations. I really appreciated having someone help me in
such a nonjudgmental way. It was exactly what I needed and I'd use her service
again."
"OnlineCounseling offers the busy or homebound
person an alternative to the office appointment. Ewa provides her clients with a
informative, well written approach to issues they are going through. I have
found her line of questioning, after writing and identifying my problems to be
well thought out and helpful in pinpointing issues to discuss. She always
responds promptly and made. certain that I understood what she was trying to
explain to me. The questions were helpful with looking inside yourself for the
root of the problem and the raw emotions were then sorted out. She really helped
me through a difficult time and I was then, as I am now thankful to have found
her site."
"I was really needing a new way to look at problems in my
life in order to overcome them. The ideas and exercises Ewa gave me
were great for looking at things from my family's point of view and that
really helped me to see the underlying issues. I was able to make changes in
myself to improve my relationships with my husband and daughter. Ewa was
very understanding and not at all judgmental which makes her very easy to
communicate with. I was very happy with the way she helped me
work through things. Thank you Ewa!"
"Ewa's Online Counseling service was instrumental in not only
helping me solve my issue of the day, but helping me in my long term development
in life. The counseling provided me with great insight into my life, and I
learned life lessons that will be applicable to any future issue in my life. The
counseling she provides is worth the money!"
"From being skeptical initially that anyone could help me through
email, I am very happy to say that Ewa has helped me lots for some time. When I
need her support, she is there to offer words of both
insight and encouragement. I access her
emails online from my phone, and find it very useful to be able to dip in and
out and get reminders to support my own behavior change and new habits
that I need to form in my relationship. I
have used face to face counselling in the past when needed, and absolutely it
has it's place, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the extra
dimension added by online email counselling as a way to keep in the
forefront of my mind, helpful new thinking and practices
that support me to make the difficult
changes that I am going through. Her emails are personalized to me
in my situation."
"My life has improved tremendously since first
using onlinecounseling.org. Instead of having issues bother me all day, I
have hardly anything to worry about. I know my life is better and easier
after learning from Ewa. "
"The counseling I received from Ewa and the email counseling
sessions were very helpful to me at a time in my life when I was suffering with
personal anxiety. Ewa is such a friendly and caring
person. She gave me many concrete
suggestions for dealing with my personal issues. I'm sure
I will return for emotional guidance in the future. I was much more
comfortable writing my thoughts than I would have been talking with
a counselor face to face. The online counseling sessions were a blessing
and positive addition to my life."
"Thank you very much for your insight and time. I
have appreciated it very much. Your advice was just what I needed to hear.
Thanks!"
"I was skeptical about contacting an online counselor, as you
never really know if you will be contacting a legitimate person. I work full
time and could have utilized my Employee Assistance Program for the counseling,
but I didn't want to take extra time off of work, and preferred being anonymous
for the situation. She was very professional and asked me questions so that she
can give me a personal response. I enjoyed her responses and they were very
applicable to my situation. I would highly recommend her, and will use her in
the future."
"When I contacted you I was really nervous about such a big life
changing event (retirement). I had been retired for a few weeks and because of
the guidance and words of encouragement from you I have been able to make this
transition gracefully. Thanks so much. I was reluctant in contacting a counselor
face-to-face. My prior experience was a negative one but this on-line counseling
experience was extremely positive. Our occasional contact makes me feel that you
are concern about my progress and I do appreciate you."
"I found OnlineCounseling.org to be
very convenient and helpful. I think the back and forth via email gives you time
to think about your reaction and responses, versus having to respond in real
time with face-to-face counseling. Ewa is experienced, prompt and
pushes you to think outside your normal thought patterns. Her insight helped me
think differently about my situation and move forward positively."
"Thank you for replying. It helped a great
deal. I have read it over and over again. You are on target with the issues
and advice you gave me. Thank you."
"OnlineCounseling.org offers the busy or homebound
person an alternative to the office appointment. Ewa provides her clients with a
informative, well written approach to issues they are going through. I have
found her line of questioning, after writing and identifying my problems to be
well thought out and helpful in pinpointing issues to discuss. She always
responds promptly and made certain that I understood what she was trying to
explain to me. The questions were helpful with looking inside yourself for the
root of the problem and the raw emotions were then sorted out. She really helped
me through a difficult time and I was then, as I am now, thankful to have found
her site."
"I regretted not being able to follow up with more contact, and in
fact expected to, but I came to realize that the session we had was so succinct
that I really didn't need another one!"
"One day I was at the bottom of my hole and didn't
know how to get out. This service allowed me to express what I was really
thinking in a safe and private venue. Ewa asked me questions and provided
feedback that not only made me think but really helped me work through what I
needed to. I have tried to work through things in the past but never felt like I
could open up to the stranger sitting across from me. Ewa allows you to express
all your thoughts and feelings in a private way and she provides honest and
valuable feedback. After a couple months she had provided me with the tools to
make my way through various struggles I was working on. With her help I am now
happy again, loving life, and most importantly loving myself! I don't think I
could have done it without her insight, tools, and words."
"Ewa helped me to learn how to trust in my husband and build a
stronger relationship with him. Online counseling is perfect for an individual
or couple that has a hard time expressing how they feel by talking one-on-one
with a counselor. This gives you a chance to write your thoughts down and go
over them in your head. This experience has made my heart fill up with love
again."
"I cannot thank you enough for your long insightful reply, no
one has ever given me such an informative and meaningful reply and I have tried
other counselors but no one really said anything that made sense or touched a
chord in me"
"I've been counseling with Ewa Schwarz for a few years and she has
helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. She is very
insightful, caring, and patient. She is also quick to respond to
e-mails and having the option to receive instant help online beats having to
call and make an appointment with a therapist who may not have something
available right away. Ewa is right there at your fingertips 24/7. I am
very grateful for this service and will continue to use her in the future as
needed."
"I had issues that were hurting me and my marriage. I was on route
to a divorce from my husband. Ewa helped point out my suppressed emotions that
were causing our problems. I felt safe telling Ewa about past experiences and
feelings that I would never have told anyone else for fear of being judged. The
anonymous online atmosphere helped me do that. Ewa helped me find closure and
move on. I am enjoying my life with my husband now, something that I thought
was impossible before. Prayer and counseling are very powerful. Thank
you!"
"Thanks for the advice. You had opened my eyes on things
that (I) am starting not to see anymore. Ewa, you've been a big help. Now, I have
the confidence to really let go. Once again, thank you very much."
"I am extremely grateful for the time you spent to
understand my situation. It was a very difficult time in my life and I was glad
to have an outlet in which to express my fears and frustrations. Although I
will admit it was more difficult for me to articulate what I was
feeling via email, it did give me a chance to sit, quietly with myself, and
reflect on the issue. I appreciate this form of outlet when a more
traditional form of counseling is not available. I am happy to
report that life is moving smoothly now and I am finding more peace within
myself each day."
"You helped me when I was at my worst, mentally and physically.
Going though treatment for cancer is never easy but feeling though you are
being abandoned by your spouse makes life seem hard to fight for. Thank you so
much for putting all things in the right perspective, trying to see that before
I could move forward I had to look back and realize why I was feeling the way I
was. My husband has his own issues to deal with, and until he takes a look
inside himself he will be an empty shell of the person I love. I am not
cured by a long shot however, I am now able to realize that my issues are mine
alone and I definitely see a light at the end of a tunnel."
"Thank you Ewa for being there for me. I did not
have the time or finances to seek out help from a counselor, but I found you
and you did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. You
gave me the tools I needed to cope with other's insecurities without falling
prey to my own."
"I'm quite amazed
at how much you picked up about me. I've gone into some details but you have
read me very well. You have a very remarkable ability to do that and understand
people. I was completely against counseling before. The reason I have signed up
for online counseling was to be anonymous and cut to the chase instead of
having to go in and fill out insurance forms, complete questionnaires, and
rehash my whole life story if I was to go the conventional route. Out of all
the counselors I have talked to in the past, you are the only one I've truly
connected with. I think you have a much better ability at sensing people and
have a deeper insight. It is interactive too and I feel like I'm getting
a return on what I've been spending."
"Thank you for all those words. They were very moving and I
will work with all your suggestions. Thanks for being
so thorough. It has helped."
"I turned to Online Counseling in a time where I needed help
re-discovering myself and finding peace with who I was in the past. Through
this process I was never judged, never pushed to do things I didn't want to do,
but always guided to the next step and reminded that I was doing well. I felt
greatly supported by Ewa. For me Online Counseling was the best solution since
I found it very hard to talk directly about my feelings. Through the exercises
she made me do, I learned to communicate about my personal feelings, I learned
to listen to others, I learned to distinguish important from unimportant
things, and most of all, I learned I had a choice to change things. I can truly
say she helped me take my life back in my own hands. Thank you!"
“Ewa’s response was prompt, respectful and very thorough –
definitely worth the very affordable fee she charged. I felt my situation was carefully considered and her response was
thought-provoking and provided a sense of direction. Very helpful. Thank you!”
"My particular 'problem' was very shameful
to deal with and talk about. Just sending the initial e-mail to Ewa was
incredibly stressful, but I also knew it would be a step in the right direction.
The initial e-mail that I received from Ewa was so incredibly comforting!
She made me feel loved, appreciated and unashamed! Her words spoke
healing over me and enabled me to travel back to deal with some unfinished
business that had risen to the surface in my life. I am incredibly
grateful for my communications with Ewa. I wholeheartedly support her
counsel, wisdom and strength. You can truly trust her with your heart!"
"I'm smiling right now... Not because I'm happy really, but
because you give such an accurate picture of how I
feel without me saying very much. I agree with what
you say....thanks for listening, your perspective is amazing."
"Fate brought me to Online Counseling. I was coming out,
getting a divorce and stressed over money. When I couldn't afford or
schedule regular counseling sessions I looked to the Web and found Ewa.
Her consistent message and encouragement tempered with my needing to step beyond
my normal thought patterns helped me tremendously. It was through regular
'sessions' of email that helped me break through some bad patterns into a better
understanding of myself and those around me."
"Thanks for caring and thanks for responding so quickly.
I appreciate your counseling and think that your online service could
benefit many people."
"Ewa was wonderful at sorting out the challenges I was facing and
gave me some insight into the actions I needed to take. You offered some
great advice to make me step back and identify the real issues before I reacted. And most importantly helped me believe in myself."
"Ewa's counseling
service has been wonderful for me because I have had time to consider and think
about the ideas, comments and questions that she has written, rather than
answering questions on the spot as in face to face sessions.
Her fees are reasonable and
she replies to correspondence promptly.
I have learned a great deal from my counseling
with her, and I would recommend her to others, as well as come back to her for
further help in the future."
"The response was wonderful, and I hope you do not mind if I use
the services again. Thank you again for your time and assistance!"
"Thank you so much for your detailed and
thoughtful response. I think I got way more than (my money's worth)!!! I
look forward to implementing your suggestions. I'm fascinated by why we
do what we do, so this has been educational as well. Thanks again for all of
your help, and best of luck!"
"Ewa you have helped me a LOT and I am so glad I found
your website and started talking to you! Thank you for everything; I feel much
better about many things in my life now and understand a lot of things better
now too."
"Your perceptions about my personality (as a lone wolf) were
amazingly accurate and accepting. While I love that part of myself, I have also
felt ashamed of it because this society does not always value aloneness. Your
guidance encouraged me to accept who I am and where I was in my own development,
allowing me to simply be me. In this way, your acceptance of me showed me how to
accept myself. You hit on some deeply held distortions I've held about myself
and helped me to let them go. In one short session, that is amazing. Even today,
I frequently find myself thinking back on your words and drawing strength from
them."
"Thanx for your help Ewa .. you let me stop and think of how emotional
i turned to be .. and re-think of everything i do that let him want to stay away
from me .. so in return . . i got what i want .. now he cares more .. and he
appreciates what i do .. so he is making it up for me :) thanx a lot."
"I found your responses to be very
very helpful and much more comprehensive than anything
I've read about phobias .... I thank you for your help
and hope you will be there for me if and when I need
your further assistance. Thank you for the good advice."
