Face to Face vs. Computer Screen to Computer screen

Can we take something as personal as face to face psychotherapy and put it online. I am a psychology major and am aware that some psychologists are actually currently practicing this. I found a few articles I like but this is a good one. One of the major problems with online psychotherapy is that it is usually text based. Much of the perception the therapist gets from you is from non-verbal cues. I don’t remember the exact percentage but it is higher than 50%. Yes the way you move, fidget, blink, where you look and so on tells a lot about you. I think the best way to take psychotherapy online is via the online camera. It might be an effective way to provide treatment to people who are in remote areas, don’t have access to transportation or are too afraid to leave their own house. However text based psychotherapy I feel is not effective. You can’t tell inflection or anything else from it. I guess I feel that technology should not replace things like doctor’s visits, psychotherapy, or even education (for the most part). I feel that unless the person lives 60 miles from the closest school or doctor the old fashion way is the more effective way. I also think that there are side benefits we get from physically going out to receive these services vs. staying in our house at our computers.
