Dear Ellie:

Online therapy may very well work for you, having a parallel experience as a Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) online.

Maybe Chris appears not so interested in you but in reality, maybe, he is emotionally independent, not very needy. Often enough a person appears very interested because of a desperate neediness that gets confused with a personal interest. Maybe Chris and you can communicate as two emotionally independent people who have done well enough alone, for a long time.

And you are welcome, anytime.
