FAQs about online therapy and counselling in Canada

How do I know what's best for me?

Only a healthcare provider can determine the right course of treatment or session for you after careful consideration and an online mental health session. What’s more important is to get a medical consultation and session when your mental health condition is not stable to get the medical attention you need according to your presenting symptoms. We can help with both medical consultations with our online doctors in Canada or mental health therapy

Is counselling online worth it?

Yes! Online counselling can be as effective as in-person therapy, offering advantages like convenience, affordability, and accessibility. It's worth considering if you're looking for support. Your Doctors Online can help you effectively with the help you need.

What can an online mental health provider treat in Canada?

Online mental health providers in Canada can address a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship problems, and grief. After careful consideration and consultation, your doctor will determine the right treatment and session for you.

What type of therapy works best for men?

While every man's needs are unique, some therapy approaches are particularly effective for addressing common concerns men face. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to difficulties. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical solutions and building on existing strengths to create positive change. Mindfulness-based therapies encourage present-moment awareness to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve overall well-being. Ultimately, the best approach depends on the individual and their specific challenges. It's crucial for men to find a mental health provider they feel comfortable with and who understands their unique needs and perspectives.

Is online therapy possible at my workplace?

Yes, online therapy offers the flexibility to attend sessions from your workplace, as long as you can ensure privacy and a reliable internet connection. Find a quiet, confidential space where you won't be interrupted during your session. Make sure your internet connection is strong and stable to avoid disruptions during video or phone calls. It's also a good idea to inform your employer or colleagues that you'll be unavailable for a period to minimize distractions and maintain confidentiality.

What is text therapy?

Text or messaging therapy allows you to communicate with your provider via text messages. This offers a convenient and flexible way to get support, especially for those who prefer written communication or have busy schedules. You can send messages to your provider throughout the day and receive responses within a specified timeframe.

What is video therapy?

Video therapy utilizes video conferencing technology to connect with your mental health provider in real time. This provides a face-to-face experience similar to in-person sessions, allowing for visual cues and a more personal connection. Those who want a more interactive and engaging therapeutic experience often prefer video therapy.

What issues do Your Doctors Online provide support for in Canada?

Your Doctors Online offers comprehensive mental health support services for Canadians facing various challenges. Their network of online mental health providers is equipped to address concerns such as anxiety disorders, depression, stress management, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and life transitions.

Yes. All supervising physicians on Your Doctors Online are fully licensed in the regions where they practice. They follow the same standards of care as in-person clinics and must comply with their provincial or state medical college or board.
