Online counseling (also called online therapy, telehealth therapy, or virtual counseling) is mental health treatment delivered through secure video sessions with a licensed provider. Clients can work on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and more—without traveling to an office.
Online counseling allows you to access care from a private, comfortable location using a phone, tablet, or computer. Many people choose online therapy because it fits busy schedules, reduces barriers to care, and makes it easier to stay consistent with treatment.
At Counseling Now, online counseling sessions are conducted using an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform. Our network includes therapists and psychiatric providers, so you can receive therapy, medication support, or both depending on your needs.
Online counseling for anxiety helps individuals manage symptoms such as excessive worry, panic attacks, racing thoughts, muscle tension, irritability, and sleep disruption. Anxiety can interfere with work performance, relationships, and daily functioning, but structured therapy can significantly reduce symptom intensity and improve coping skills.
Our licensed online therapists use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure-based strategies, mindfulness techniques, and stress-reduction tools to help clients understand anxiety patterns and build practical skills. Because telehealth sessions occur in real-time and often within a client’s home environment, therapy can feel especially relevant and actionable.
If anxiety is affecting your quality of life, online counseling offers a flexible and clinically supported way to begin treatment without delay.
Online therapy for depression provides structured treatment for symptoms such as persistent sadness, low motivation, fatigue, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of hopelessness. Depression can range from mild to severe, and early intervention often improves outcomes.
Virtual therapy sessions commonly incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral activation, and solution-focused techniques to help clients gradually rebuild routine, increase positive reinforcement, and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Consistency in treatment is essential for managing depression, and online counseling makes it easier to maintain regular appointments.
Many individuals find that the convenience of telehealth reduces the activation energy required to attend sessions—an important factor when motivation is low.
Online trauma therapy supports individuals who have experienced distressing or overwhelming events. Trauma-related symptoms may include hypervigilance, emotional reactivity, avoidance, intrusive memories, or difficulty feeling safe.
Virtual counseling for trauma focuses first on stabilization—building grounding skills, emotional regulation strategies, and a sense of safety—before progressing to deeper processing work when appropriate. Licensed therapists may use evidence-informed frameworks tailored to each client’s needs and readiness.
Online trauma therapy can be particularly helpful for individuals who feel more comfortable beginning treatment from their own environment. Safety, pacing, and consent remain central components of the therapeutic process.
Online couples counseling provides structured support for partners experiencing communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, trust concerns, or emotional distance. Virtual sessions allow both partners to participate from the same or different locations, making scheduling more flexible.
Couples therapy focuses on identifying negative interaction patterns, strengthening communication skills, clarifying needs, and rebuilding connection. Licensed therapists facilitate constructive dialogue while helping partners develop healthier relational dynamics.
Online couples counseling is well-suited for busy professionals, long-distance relationships, or families balancing multiple commitments.
Online therapy for children and teens offers age-appropriate support for emotional, behavioral, academic, and social challenges. Adolescents may benefit from telehealth counseling for anxiety, depression, peer concerns, family conflict, and stress related to school performance.
Therapists use developmentally appropriate techniques to engage younger clients while collaborating with caregivers when necessary. Virtual sessions can feel more comfortable for some teens, especially those who are hesitant about traditional office settings.
When clinically appropriate, online therapy provides families with accessible, consistent mental health support without requiring transportation or missed school time.
Online psychiatry connects you with licensed psychiatric providers who can evaluate symptoms, provide diagnostic guidance, and offer medication management when clinically appropriate. Many people seek online psychiatric care for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and sleep-related concerns.
Telehealth psychiatry can reduce delays in care by removing travel barriers and expanding access. Your provider will discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives, and will coordinate care with therapy when needed.
If you’re not sure whether you need therapy, psychiatry, or both, Counseling Now can help match you with the right starting point.
Online counseling offers flexibility, privacy, and accessibility while maintaining professional standards of care. Many individuals choose virtual therapy because it fits more seamlessly into their daily routines.
Benefits of online therapy may include:
