Dear V:
I am not familiar with e-courses at all. But I am familiar with psychotherapy. If you work with a capable, hard working, dedicated therapist who is organized about his work, coming up with objectives for the therapy and the strategies he will use to achieve those objectives, giving you homework to do in between sessions, then you can do wonders with a therapist.
On the other hand, a therapist who mostly just sits there for fifty minutes and says at the end of the session: our time is done, will not help you.
