Benefits of Online Psychotherapy
FLEXIBILITY
Prior to online mental health services becoming more common, you may not have been able to leave the office in the middle of your work day to attend a therapy session. Online therapy allows you the convenience to set up sessions with a therapist in a way that makes sense for your schedule. Our online therapy services in Ontario make therapy accessible for more clients as transportation and scheduling issues are no longer barriers for receiving treatment. For many clients, removing the hassle and stress related with commuting and the extra time it takes to travel to and from sessions allows them to just focus on being present for their sessions.
ACCESSIBILITY
Online therapy services in Ontario provide clients who have disabilities or struggle with mobility issues the opportunity to receive treatment they might not have been able to access otherwise.
COMFORT
Online therapy offers the advantage of allowing you to address sensitive topics from the comfort of your own home. When the space you’re in is private and suitable for a therapy session, it can foster a sense of safety and help you feel more at ease in exploring your difficulties.

These fees reflect the clinician’s education level, clinical experience, and the type of therapy offered.

Typical Fee Ranges by Type of Clinician:
Registered Psychotherapists
Online sessions with a registered psychotherapist in Ontario typically cost between $125 and $195 per hour.
Psychotherapists provide talk therapy focused on improving emotional well-being, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. They help clients develop healthier coping strategies and work through personal and interpersonal challenges using evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as CBT, ACT, and emotion-focused therapy.
Registered Psychologists
Online therapy with a registered psychologist in Ontario usually ranges from $225 to $285 per hour.

Why Do Therapy Fees Vary in Ontario?
The cost of therapy in Ontario is influenced by multiple factors:
-
Clinician qualifications and experience – Professionals with doctoral degrees, specialized training, or extensive clinical experience may charge higher fees.
-
Session length and type – A standard therapy session lasts around 50 minutes, while longer or more specialized sessions—such as couples therapy or trauma-focused therapy—can cost more.
-
Therapeutic approach – Some forms of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed therapy, may require different preparation or tools that influence cost.
-
Region and demand – Therapy costs can vary slightly by location. Clinicians in larger urban centres like Toronto or Ottawa may charge higher fees than those in smaller communities, reflecting local cost-of-living differences.
-
Online vs. in-person format – While online therapy offers greater convenience and accessibility, the professional fees are generally comparable to in-person therapy since the same level of preparation, expertise, and clinical care is provided.
Finding Affordable Online Therapy in Ontario
While therapy is an investment in your mental health, many clients find that online therapy provides excellent value by reducing travel time, expanding scheduling flexibility, and offering access to highly qualified clinicians across the province. When choosing a therapist, it’s important to consider not only cost but also the professional’s expertise, therapeutic approach, and your comfort level working with them.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSION?

Make sure that you are seated in a comfortable position before the session begins and that your video as well as audio is working properly. Consider whether using headphones will help you be able to focus better during the session.

Have a notebook and pen handy in case you would like to jot down some notes during the session or if you have reflections on exercises you tried between virtual therapy sessions that you would like to refer to during the session.
IS ONLINE THERAPY AS EFFECTIVE AS IN-PERSON THERAPY?
Yes, research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many mental health concerns. Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches to support meaningful progress.
