Much has been written regarding the importance of face-to-face counseling and supervision (Bernard, 2005; Bernard & Goodyear, 2008; Goodyear & Bernard, 1989; Holloway, 1997; Stoltenberg & McNeill, 1997). Both activities have been viewed as a fluid and interactive process between people. Supervisors are also counseling professionals and understand the importance of non-verbal cues and actions in effective communication. A learning curve still exists for supervisors with regard to effectively utilizing current trends of technology while not compromising the openness, trust building, and enhanced communication that face-to-face contact provides.
