About online therapy at Anchor & Bloom.

Online therapy at Anchor & Bloom is psychotherapy delivered by secure video for adults and couples anywhere in Ontario. You meet the same Registered Psychotherapist each week from wherever you are, a home office, a parked car on a lunch break, a quiet room with the door closed. The work is trauma-informed and attachment-based, and the format simply removes the commute.

For most people, online and in-person therapy do similar work. What online removes is the friction: the drive, the parking, the waiting room, the hour of travel that made weekly sessions hard to sustain. What stays is the relationship, the pacing, and the care.

Why online

What virtual sessions make possible.

No commute

The 50 minutes stay yours. No drive into the city, no parking math, no hour of travel bookending a single appointment. That alone makes weekly work easier to keep.

The whole province

Our clinicians are registered with CRPO and can provide online psychotherapy while clients are located in Ontario, including small towns and rural areas, not only cities with nearby clinics.

In your own space

For many people, it is easier to do hard work from a familiar room. You can have your tea, your blanket, your dog at your feet, and step straight back into your day after.

Easier to keep going

Travel, a busy week, or a sick kid no longer cancels a session. Continuity is part of what makes therapy work, and online sessions are easier to protect.

Private and secure

Sessions run on Jane, a PHIPA-compliant Canadian platform built for healthcare. Your link is private and your sessions are confidential.

The same therapist

A small practice, not a rotating roster. You build the work with one person who comes to know your history over time, week after week.

Local support

Online therapy in your city.

Sessions are virtual province-wide, so you do not need to live in any of these cities to work with us. We keep dedicated local pages for the areas where most of our clients are, with details that speak to life there.

Everything below is optional. Open any section to go deeper on what online sessions need, what to expect, and which kinds of work translate well to video.

Getting set up

What you need for an online session.

  • A device with a camera. A laptop, tablet, or phone all work. A larger screen is a little more comfortable for couples sessions.
  • A reliable connection. Most home or office internet is fine. If your connection drops, we have a plan for that and can finish by phone.
  • A private space. Somewhere you will not be overheard. Headphones help. A parked car or a closed room both work well.
  • A browser. Jane runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install. You receive a private link before your first session.
  • A few quiet minutes before. Logging in a couple of minutes early gives you space to arrive, rather than rushing in from the previous thing.

What translates to video

The kinds of work that suit online therapy.

When in-person fits better

Online, in-person, or both.

You can ask about online appointments, in-person sessions in Mississauga, or a mix of both. Appointment formats vary by clinician. Compare the options above and discuss what suits your needs during a consultation.

There is no wrong answer here. If you are not sure which fits, the free consultation is a good place to talk it through. You can read more on our Mississauga location page.

Common questions about online therapy.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

For many adults, yes. Research on virtual care supports psychotherapy delivered by secure video as an effective option for a range of concerns. The depth of the work is the same. The format is what changes. Fit depends on your needs, privacy, safety, and comfort with online sessions, and the free consultation is a good place to talk that through.

How do online sessions actually work?

You meet your therapist over secure video through Jane, a PHIPA-compliant Canadian platform. Before your first session you receive a private link. You join from a quiet, private space, anywhere in Ontario, on a laptop, tablet, or phone. No software to install beyond a browser.

Where in Ontario do you work?

Anywhere in the province. Anchor & Bloom has nine CRPO-registered clinicians who provide secure online psychotherapy while clients are located in Ontario. Dedicated local information is available for Toronto, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Brampton, Pickering, and Ajax.

What do I need for a private session at home?

A reliable internet connection, a device with a camera, and a space where you will not be overheard. Some clients take sessions from a parked car, a closed home office, or with headphones in a quiet room. We can talk about privacy in the first session if your living situation makes it tricky.

Can couples do online therapy too?

Yes. Both partners can join the same secure video session, whether you are in the same room or in two different places. See our couples therapy page for how that work is structured.

How much do online sessions cost and are they covered by insurance?

Individual sessions are $160 to $180 (50 minutes). Couples sessions are $200 (50 minutes) or $290 (80 minutes). Most extended health benefit plans through Canadian employers cover Registered Psychotherapist services. Confirm with your insurer. Anchor & Bloom does not charge HST on therapy sessions.
