How Online Counselling Works:
We understand that reaching out for help isn’t always easy, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve simplified our booking process into three easy steps:
Not sure where to start? Let’s have a free chat to see if we click. No pressure—just a chance to talk about how we can support you.
After your consultation, you’ll receive consent and intake forms to fill out before your first session.
Join your session with just one click. Speak with your therapist through our easy-to-use, secure video platform.
3 Simple Steps
- Accessibility: Access therapy regardless of mobility issues, transportation limitations, or location in rural areas.
- Continuity of Care: Maintain consistent therapy even when traveling or during inclement weather.
- Reduced Stigma: Some people feel more comfortable seeking help when they can do so from a personal space.
- Time Efficiency: Save time that would otherwise be spent commuting to and from appointments.
- Familiar Environment: Often, being in your own space helps you feel more at ease discussing personal matters.
- Flexible Scheduling: Find appointment times that work around your busy schedule, including evenings and weekends.

FAQ
Is online therapy, or teletherapy, as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes, research consistently shows that online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy for many common mental health concerns. Many clients actually find it easier to open up in the comfort of their own space.
What technology do I need for virtual counselling sessions?
You only need a device with internet access (computer, tablet, or smartphone), a webcam, and a private space. Our platform is easy to use and doesn't require any special software downloads.
Is internet therapy covered by insurance in Alberta?
Many extended health insurance plans in Alberta cover online therapy services provided by licensed professionals. We recommend checking with your specific insurance provider about your coverage details. All clinicians at Virtual Connect are registered with a regulated counselling body.
How do you ensure my privacy during online sessions?
We use a secure, encrypted video platform that complies with all healthcare privacy regulations. Your sessions and personal information remain completely confidential, just as they would in a traditional therapy setting.
