Online therapy in Ontario with licensed therapists

Getting started is simple: register on the Your Doctors Online platform, select your plan, describe your needs, and get matched with a licensed Ontario therapist. Sessions can begin immediately via video, phone, or live chat, without requiring a referral.

You can book individual therapy, teen therapy, and couples therapy with licensed providers. Sessions are offered via secure video, phone, or live chat, following professional standards and ethical guidelines.

Therapy for minors through private platforms like Your Doctors Online is not free. Adolescents aged 13–17 can access therapy with parental consent, and sessions may be partially reimbursed by extended health insurance if the plan covers services from Registered Psychotherapists (RP) or Registered Social Workers (RSW).

Any adult aged 18 or older can directly book sessions through Your Doctors Online. Adolescents aged 13–17 may also access therapy with parental or guardian consent, in line with professional regulations.

Public healthcare plans like OHIP generally do not cover private therapy, including online sessions. Free mental health services may be available through community programs, but Your Doctors Online services are private and fee-based, with insurance reimbursement options available.

Many extended health insurance plans cover online therapy with licensed providers. Your Doctors Online accepts credit card payments and provides an official receipt (superbill) with the therapist’s credentials and session details for reimbursement. Coverage limits vary by plan, so confirm with your insurer.

The first session usually involves a consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences. Therapists will explain confidentiality rules and session structure to ensure you feel informed, safe, and supported.

Therapists and counsellors may hold designations like Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Registered Social Worker (RSW), or Psychologist (PhD/PsyD). They are licensed and regulated by their respective provincial colleges and must adhere to professional bylaws and ethical standards.

Therapists use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques. All methods comply with professional regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe, effective care.

Your Doctors Online therapists can support a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief, social anxiety, relationship issues, and emotional regulation challenges, using evidence-based approaches.

At Your Doctors Online, you can schedule online counselling, virtual psychotherapy, or video/phone sessions with licensed Ontario therapists, ensuring safe, regulated, and professional care.
