Usually face to face, or you sit beside the priest. There aren't any confessionals as in the Catholic Church.

Prayers please.

Hey drewmeister2, here's an article that goes into a lot of detail about the sacrament of confession. It's really good, I recomend you read (or at least skim through) it.

It's fairly long, but it's worth it.
Take care and God bless

For those of you who are interested in learning more about confession, there are some good lectures on this topic.

The Healing of Confession
"From a Lenten series on repentance delivered at the Orthodox Christian Women's conference in Montreal in March of 2008." Mother Christophora adds some humor to this lecture. I really enjoyed it. She also talks about the different styles of confession.

Here is another series of lectures on confession:

Also, I'm currently reading a very good book titled, "The Forgotten Medicine: The Mystery of Repentance" by Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev.

Take Care and God Bless.
