What to Expect When You Talk to a Therapist Online

A Calm, Private Space to Talk

Online therapy provides a confidential space for you to talk about what’s been weighing on you—whether it's anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or relationship challenges. You don’t need to prepare anything or know exactly what to say. Just show up as you are.

Sessions happen over a secure video platform and are designed to feel just like an in-person conversation—only with the comfort of being in your own space.

A Warm, Collaborative Approach

As your therapist, my role isn’t to analyze or fix you—it’s to walk alongside you. I’ll bring curiosity, steadiness, and compassion to our sessions. We’ll explore what’s been going on, and together, start to understand the patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

You might learn tools to manage anxiety or stress, or we might work on longer-term goals like self-trust, assertiveness, or navigating life transitions.

No Pressure to Share Everything at Once

The first few sessions are about building comfort and trust. You’re welcome to share at your own pace. Therapy isn’t about rushing to the root of everything—it’s about feeling safe enough to go there when you're ready.

Some clients feel a sense of relief after just one session. Others take a few weeks to warm up. Either way, there’s no wrong timeline.

Final Thoughts

If you're considering online therapy in Ontario but feeling unsure, know that those first steps are often the hardest and also the most rewarding.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel formal or intimidating. It can be a grounding space to understand yourself better and feel less alone. If you’d like to see if we’re the right fit, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation.
