Great. You have come to the right person for help.
Ts in other countries are great as well - in their own way. But doing email therapy is very difficult. Don't do it. Find someone nearby locally, where you can go and see face to face. Email just makes things much more harder than it should be, and it leads to lots and lots of communication gaps.
The key is being able to work with your T and tell him/her what you really want to work on, and even if they insist on coping up with real life right now, keep bringing back stuff that you need to work on.
I was in a similar situation, and was doing email therapy for a long time with my T in India. It helped me upto 80 - 90 %, and corrected several several issues I had. But it was little inadequate in dealing with stuff like transference, and discussing father issues. So these two issues, I corrected only by going to a T in the US. But I realize, if I had insisted and brought up these issues to my ex T in India regularly, he would have been able to pay more attention to it.
