Abstract
When people suffer from issues like workplace stress, financial stress, marital stress, family stress, bullying, domestic violence, peer pressure, anxiety, relationship issues, career issues, parenting, loneliness, depression and others, they try to avoid it, either by saying life is just like this or by comparing their problems with others. Distracting themselves from the problems is a temporary solution which will give rise to permanent problems. The problem we attempt to solve through our web app is to find whom to share our issues. We propose to develop a web app for online therapy, also known as Web Counseling. Online Therapy, a solution where one can get trained listeners and professional therapists, with whom one can share problems or thoughts, and might be able to shift one’s focus from problems to solutions.
