Skype用于健康和医疗目的的使用相当有限。我们调查了乌克兰使用Skype提供心理治疗服务的情况。在心理治疗师年度研讨会上，向所有代表（n = 50）分发了一份提供者问卷。还向每个服务提供者提供了一份客户调查表，并指示他们要求下一个客户完成调查。总共有29个供应商和23个客户对调查表作出了答复。大多数客户（61%）和提供商（72%）使用Skype提供一系列服务。他们提供的服务涉及广泛的范式，包括精神分析、心理戏剧、完形疗法、认知行为疗法和存在主义疗法。使用Skype的一个关键原因是允许从业人员联系不容易接触的客户，例如。G.那些生活在其他国家的人。大多数从业者（n = 24）认为他们的客户认为在Skype上收到的服务是好的或优秀的。所有26名从业人员都对Skype咨询收费。大多数客户和提供者对使用Skype进行心理治疗服务表示高度满意。
There has been rather limited use of Skype for health and medical purposes. We investigated the use of Skype for delivering psychotherapy services in the Ukraine. A provider questionnaire was distributed to all delegates (n = 50) at the Annual Symposium of Psychotherapists. One copy of a client questionnaire was also given to each service provider and they were instructed to request their next client to complete the survey. In total, 29 providers and 23 clients responded to the questionnaire. The majority of clients (61%) and providers (72%) had used Skype for a range of services. The services they provided were related to a wide range of paradigms including psycho-analysis, psycho-drama, Gestalt therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and existential therapy. A key reason for using Skype was to allow practitioners to contact clients who were not easily accessible, e. g. those who lived in other countries. Most practitioners (n = 24) thought their clients considered the services received on Skype were good or excellent. All 26 practitioners charged for Skype consultations. The majority of clients and providers showed high satisfaction with the use of Skype for psychotherapy services.
