What is Virtual Therapy

Virtual therapy also known as online or video counselling brings the experience of therapy into the comfort and privacy of your own space. At The Relationship Centre, we’ve been offering virtual therapy for individuals and couples across Ontario for years. And we’ve seen firsthand: the results are just as powerful. Our clients feel deeply connected to their therapists, even when they’ve never met in person.

Is Virtual Therapy Right for You?

Sometimes, the most meaningful conversations happen when you’re in your own space wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea, or with your pet curled up beside you. Virtual therapy offers the same insight, progress, and emotional shifts as in-person sessions, with added flexibility that fits your life.

“I have clients I’ve never met in person, and my bond with them is as strong as those I work with in person.”

— Mary Joan Brinson, Founder of The Relationship Centre

How Does Virtual Therapy Work?

All you need is a stable internet connection, a private space, and a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone).

Virtual Therapy allows you to experience the same change, progress, and shifts as conventional in-person sessions without racing to make it on time.

Reduced Discomfort

Therapy from your own space can feel safer, calmer, and more private, especially if you’ve felt anxious about in-person settings.

Equal Impact

You don’t need to be in the same room to feel deeply seen, heard, and supported. Our clients report the same meaningful progress in virtual sessions as they do face-to-face.

Why Choose Virtual Therapy

Accessibility & Flexibility

Therapy that fits your lifestyle. No matter where you are in Ontario, support is just a click away. Online sessions make it easier to stick with therapy, even with a busy schedule.

Increased Consistency

When travel, weather, or other responsibilities aren’t a factor, it’s easier to show up and see results. Virtual therapy supports your commitment to long-term growth.

Our therapists are trained to create warm, emotionally attuned sessions that translate seamlessly through the screen. We specialize in helping people feel deeply seen, safe, and supported. From your first contact to every session that follows, we make therapy comfortable, accessible, and custom to your needs and goals.

FAQ's About Virtual Therapy

Is virtual therapy really as effective as in-person?

Yes. Research and our experience shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as face-to-face sessions for most mental health concerns.

Do I need to download anything?

No special software is needed. You’ll receive a secure link via email to join your session through your browser.

Is my session private and secure?

Absolutely. Our privacy legislation is PHIPA to protect your confidentiality.

Can I do virtual therapy on my phone?

Yes. You can access your session from a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

What if I live outside of Ontario?

Unfortunately, we’re only licensed to provide therapy to clients living in Ontario at this time.

Can I switch to in-person later?

Of course! We offer a hybrid approach if you'd like to start virtually and later transition to in-person care. Contact our client care coordinator for this transition and booking an in-person session.
