Abstract
As the possibilities of the Internet develop with each passing day, people have begun to take advantage of the psychological counseling services offered through online platforms. Online counseling has emerged as a means of accessing psychological assistance for those who cannot leave their place of residence due to physical or mental health issues, those with economic problems, those who live far away from institutions providing psychological help, those who travel extensively, those who can express themselves more easily online than through face-to-face communication, and those who may have anxiety about labeling when consulting a mental health center. There are various standards in place around the world related to online counseling, but in Turkey, counselors working in online counseling media are subject to no such guidelines. This research discusses the standards in Turkey related to online counseling, and suggests some ethical principles that should be included in such standards.
