본 연구는 사이버 아동 상담에서 내담자의 주 호소에 따른 상담전략 유형과, 내담자 호소유형과 상담자 상담전략 유형 간의 일치도를 인터넷 게시판에 상담 요청된 사례를 통해 알아봄으로써, 사이버 상담의 단회적 특성에 따른 상담전략 개발을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구 대상은 사이버 상담 사례수가 연간 300건 이상인 사이버 아동상담 사이트 중 세 곳을 선정하여, 각각 250사례씩 총 750 사례를 조사하였다. 연구에 필요한 측정도구는 내담자 주호소 문제와 호소유형에 따른 상담전략에 관한 평가지로 분석하였고, 자료 분석은 빈도와 백분율, χ2 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째 연령별 내담 아동의 주호소 문제는 아동의 연령에 따라 내담아동의 문제 유형에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 내담 아동의 주호소 문제에 따른 내담자 호소 유형에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 주호소 문제에 따른 상담전략 유형에는 차이가 있다는 결과가 나타났다. 마지막으로, 내담자 호소 유형과 상담전략 유형과는 일치하는지를 알아본 결과 일치 사례가 전체의 45.2%였고 비일치 사례는 54.8%였다.
