About this service

What is virtual counselling?

Virtual counselling delivers the same registered professionals and the same evidence-based methods through secure, privacy-compliant video — never consumer apps, never recorded. The research is clear that outcomes match in-person therapy for most concerns, from anxiety and depression to couples work. All you need is a private space and a stable connection; booking, reminders and receipts all work exactly as they do for office visits.

At Counselling Mississauga — by McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare — every counsellor is a registered psychotherapist or supervised clinician, and every plan starts with a free consultation so you know the fit, the approach and the cost before committing to anything.

Signs it's worth reaching out

Counselling isn't only for emergencies — most of our clients simply reached a point where handling it alone stopped working. Recognize yourself below? The free consultation costs nothing but twenty minutes.

Commuting to appointments keeps not happening
You want evenings-at-home sessions, not lunch-hour dashes
You live outside the city — or travel often
Leaving the house on hard days is the barrier itself
You want to try counselling with the lowest possible friction

Our approach

Evidence-based methods, matched to you

Different problems — and different people — call for different methods. Every approach we use is research-backed, and your counsellor tailors the mix to you rather than forcing you into a formula.

Secure video sessions

Privacy-compliant platforms, never consumer apps; your therapist meets you from a private room and nothing is recorded.

Same evidence-based therapy

CBT, EFT, trauma-informed work — the modality doesn't change with the medium, and research shows comparable outcomes.

Flexible & hybrid formats

Video most weeks, in person when it suits; switch anytime without changing therapists.

Getting started

What to expect — three simple steps

1

Free consultation

Tell us what's going on and what you're hoping for. No commitment, no cost.

2

Meet your counsellor

We match you with a registered psychotherapist who fits your needs and style.

3

Begin the work

Start weekly or bi-weekly sessions, in person in Mississauga or by secure video.

After the usual free consultation, you'll receive a secure link before each session. Your therapist helps you set up a comfortable private spot at home, and many Mississauga clients mix formats — video most weeks, in person when it suits.

Registered Psychotherapist
$175–$250

Senior clinicians for complex or specialized work. Receipts provided for insurance.

Where & how

In person in Mississauga, or virtual across Ontario

In person — Mississauga

Comfortable, private offices with evening and weekend availability. In-person care is also available at our Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga locations.

Virtual — anywhere in Ontario

Secure, privacy-compliant video sessions with the same registered psychotherapists. Ideal for busy schedules, parents, and anyone outside Mississauga.

We work with clients from across Mississauga and Peel Region — families in Erin Mills and Meadowvale, professionals commuting from the Square One corridor, students, and newcomers building a life in one of Canada's fastest-growing cities. Evening and weekend availability makes appointments workable around GO Transit and highway commutes, and secure video sessions cover the days when Hurontario traffic makes in-person impossible.

Good to know

Virtual Counselling in Mississauga, answered

Is virtual counselling as effective as in person?
For most concerns, yes — research shows comparable outcomes for online therapy with a registered professional, including for anxiety, depression and couples counselling.
Is it private and secure?
Sessions run on secure, privacy-compliant video platforms — never consumer apps. Your therapist meets you from a private room, and nothing is recorded.
Who can access virtual counselling?
Anyone located in Ontario at the time of the session. You don't need to live near Mississauga.
Does insurance cover virtual counselling?
Yes — extended health plans that cover registered psychotherapists cover virtual sessions the same as in-person ones.
Do you offer evening and weekend appointments?
Absolutely. Evening and weekend slots are available with many of our psychotherapists — in person in Mississauga or over secure video — so sessions can fit around shift work, commutes and family schedules.
How do I get started?
Start with the free consultation — online or by phone. Tell us what's going on, we'll pair you with the right registered psychotherapist, and in most cases your first full session happens within the week.
