Emily is not the only person to lament the absence of our swaggering friend--"the scruffy-looking nerfherder," if you will. Where are the big three--Luke, Leia and Han Solo--now?

But while Megan soon got help from a child psychiatrist, Steele, a single mom and owner of a dog-grooming business in Houston, found the therapists she saw to deal with her own stress either insincere or judgmental. When a friend suggested online therapy, Steele decided to give it a try. Now, each Tuesday night, she logs on to the website concernedcounseling.com for a 50-min. session in a private chat room, typing messages back and forth with a therapist she has never met in person.
