Counseling is a form of help that makes use of remote communication channels and is later transformed into a format that is designed in this manner by counselors. Online counseling is certainly based on the same principles as face-to-face counseling. The most important principles to be adhered to in online counseling sessions include: 

Confidentiality Principle

 The confidence of the client in the privacy of their data is vital. This is among the crucial aspects to be taken into consideration when delivering online counseling services. The storage of data for communication and flow of data, as provided to the client, is an essential aspect to protect, and therefore, online counseling should have the user with an encryption security level of 128 bits or greater. 

The Principle of Openness and Volunteerism Principle.

 The client was open to the issues that arise from volunteering and the security of information belonging to them. The client should be aware of the profile and data of the counselor before as well as the counselor's profile.

It will trigger the possibility of a voluntary requirement, making it easy to reach out to counselors. 

The Independence Principle of Decision Principle.

 This principle directly promotes clients' self-reliance. This principle is connected to counseling stimulus to help clients can think, analyze, evaluate and make a decision in their perception, feeling and act accordingly with regard to what's happening in the surroundings. The principle is also used for online counseling sessions. Counselors attempt to create the conditions where the client is able to make a self-determining decision, and then determine if they have created the conditions to be effective every day. 

"Here and Now” Principle.

Here and Now" Principle One of the benefits for online counseling is the presence of current conditions during counseling sessions, meaning that those who are experiencing difficulties can directly reach the counselor through email, chat, or video calls. The conditions discussed above are closely related to the concept of immediate communication in counseling for relationships, which means that the client doesn't have to wait for a longer time to discuss the matter.
