How much does online therapy cost in Ontario?

The cost of online therapy in Ontario varies since counsellors set their own rates. The average cost is around $150–$250 per session. I do my best to keep my rates affordable and charge $90 per session because I want therapy to be as accessible as possible.

Is counselling better in person or online?

Online counseling offers a meaningful connection with the flexibility and comfort of accessing support from anywhere, while in-person sessions provide a dedicated space for face-to-face interaction. Both are equally effective, and the best choice depends on individual needs. Many people find online therapy more convenient as it saves on travel costs, offers quicker access to support, and fits more easily into their schedule.

What is the difference between a therapist and a counselor?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are some key differences. Counselling is usually shorter-term and focuses on specific challenges, like navigating grief or improving communication in relationships. Psychotherapy or therapy tends to be a deeper, long-term process that explores underlying patterns and emotional struggles. Both approaches are effective, and the right choice depends on your unique needs.
