Free online counseling?

As I interact more and more with people online, I occasionally find people who really should be talking to a professional and I’m often at a loss as to what to say.

Does anyone know of any free, reputable counseling services that are easily available online?

Since the OP is looking for advice, let’s move this to IMHO.

If they’re at risk of suicide, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline runs a free chat staffed by trained volunteers: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetHelp/LifelineChat.aspx

But otherwise, why would a licensed professional provide their services free over the Internet? They gotta make a living too.
