Online Therapy in New Brunswick

Yes. Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) licensed with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) can provide virtual therapy to clients living anywhere in New Brunswick. This is permitted as long as therapists continue to follow CRPO’s professional standards and uphold the same ethical and privacy obligations they would with Ontario clients.

At The Therapy Space, our team of therapists are trained and experienced in working with clients across Canada. Sessions are hosted through Jane App, a secure Canadian telehealth platform that complies with federal and provincial privacy laws. Clients in New Brunswick can easily access therapy without waiting lists, travel, or local limitations. This virtual model allows for flexibility and continuity, so you can continue therapy even if you move between cities or communities within the province.

Therapists at The Therapy Space are Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) or Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying) with the CRPO. This designation means they have completed a master’s degree in counselling, psychotherapy, or psychology, along with extensive supervised clinical training. Each therapist follows strict professional and ethical standards to ensure safe and effective care.

Many therapists on our team also hold advanced certifications in approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based or Somatic Therapy. This specialized training allows therapists to adapt their methods to each client’s needs.

In addition to formal credentials, therapists at The Therapy Space engage in ongoing professional development and supervision. This ensures their work stays informed by current research, best practices, and cultural competence. For clients across New Brunswick, it means working with professionals who are well-trained, accountable, and committed to compassionate care.

When a Registered Psychotherapist licensed in Ontario provides therapy to a client in New Brunswick, they remain accountable to the CRPO. All professional standards — including confidentiality, informed consent, and competence — continue to apply.

Therapists must also respect New Brunswick’s Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act (PHIPAA) and ensure that all communication and data handling meet provincial expectations.

At The Therapy Space, sessions take place through Jane App, a secure Canadian telehealth platform that complies with PIPEDA (federal) and PHIPA (Ontario) regulations. These privacy protections are consistent with, and often exceed, PHIPAA standards in New Brunswick.

Therapists also ensure clients know how to access local resources if needed, such as the CHIMO Helpline, New Brunswick Mental Health Services, or community crisis supports. This keeps therapy both ethical and well-connected to regional systems of care.

Working with an Ontario-registered psychotherapist expands your access to a broader network of therapists with diverse expertise and approaches. For many people in New Brunswick — especially those living in smaller towns or rural areas — online therapy makes it easier to find someone who feels like the right fit.

Key benefits include:

• Flexible scheduling: You can book appointments at times that fit your lifestyle, whether early mornings, evenings, or weekends. This flexibility allows therapy to integrate seamlessly with work, study, or family life.
  
• Continuity of care: If you relocate within New Brunswick or elsewhere in Canada, you can continue working with the same therapist. This stability supports trust, progress, and consistency.
  
• Accessibility: Online therapy removes barriers like commuting, transportation, or limited local availability. You can begin therapy sooner and maintain regular sessions with greater ease.
  
• Inclusive, personalized support: The Therapy Space values diversity and inclusion. Our therapists are experienced in working with clients from a range of cultural, linguistic, and social backgrounds, including bilingual and multicultural communities across New Brunswick.
  

This combination of accessibility, flexibility, and personal fit ensures you can receive the care that meets your emotional and practical needs.

Yes. Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress.

Many clients find that virtual therapy helps them feel more comfortable opening up, especially when meeting from a familiar environment like home. Therapists use interactive methods such as guided mindfulness, screen sharing, or shared exercises to ensure the sessions remain engaging and structured.

Online therapy also allows for more consistent attendance, since clients aren’t limited by weather, distance, or travel schedules — a valuable advantage for those living outside major cities or during New Brunswick’s winter months.

At The Therapy Space, online therapy combines accessibility with the same depth, professionalism, and care you’d expect from an in-person experience.

Therapists at The Therapy Space offer a wide range of evidence-based and integrative approaches, combining skills-based methods with reflective, insight-oriented work. Each treatment plan is personalized and flexible.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Emphasizes mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Ideal for managing strong emotions and conflict.

Internal Family Systems (IFS): Helps clients explore their inner landscape and the different “parts” that shape emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A trauma-focused approach that supports reprocessing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages acceptance of emotions and values-driven action, helping clients move toward meaningful goals even in the presence of discomfort.

Mindfulness-Based and Somatic Therapy: Combines awareness of the body and the present moment to release stress and promote emotional regulation.

By integrating these approaches, therapists can tailor sessions to match your goals and circumstances, allowing therapy to evolve naturally over time.

Coverage depends on your individual benefits plan. Many insurance providers in New Brunswick reimburse sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), even if the therapist practices from another province. However, coverage varies between policies.

Some plans list Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs), Psychologists, or Social Workers specifically. Others recognize Registered Psychotherapists.

The Therapy Space provides detailed receipts with the therapist’s full credentials and registration number so you can submit them directly to your insurance provider. We encourage clients to check their benefits booklet or contact their insurer to confirm eligibility.

Even if coverage differs, many clients find that the convenience, reduced travel, and scheduling flexibility of online therapy make it a valuable investment in long-term well-being.

Therapists at The Therapy Space maintain strict confidentiality standards and comply with all relevant Canadian privacy laws. All sessions take place through Jane App, which uses end-to-end encryption and secure Canadian servers to protect client information.

Therapists also create professional, private spaces for online sessions and encourage clients to do the same — such as using headphones, closing doors, and scheduling sessions during quiet times.

Clients can expect the same level of privacy and professionalism as they would receive in a traditional therapy office. Transparency and trust remain at the heart of every therapeutic relationship.

Therapists at The Therapy Space work with clients across New Brunswick on a wide variety of issues, offering care that balances emotional depth with practical tools.

Emotional health and mood concerns:
Therapists help clients manage anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. Sessions may include CBT, ACT, or mindfulness techniques to support calm, focus, and emotional balance.

Trauma and healing:
Therapists provide trauma-informed care, helping clients process past experiences safely and rebuild a sense of trust. Modalities such as EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy are often used to support recovery.

Relationships and family dynamics:
Therapy offers space to explore relationship challenges, communication patterns, boundaries, and conflict. Clients learn practical strategies to improve connection and emotional safety.

Identity, belonging, and self-esteem:
Therapists support clients in exploring identity, culture, and self-worth. Care is affirming and inclusive for clients who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, or multilingual.

Grief, life transitions, and personal growth:
Therapy provides support during major life changes, loss, or periods of reflection. Clients learn coping tools to navigate transitions and rediscover meaning in everyday life.

Therapy is a space for understanding, growth, and change — wherever you are on your journey.

At The Therapy Space, finding the right therapist is straightforward and client-focused. You can browse therapist profiles to learn more about their training, areas of expertise, and approach. Each profile helps you get a sense of their personality and therapeutic style.

If you prefer guidance, our Get Matched feature allows you to share what you’re looking for — your goals, schedule, or preferred approaches — and we’ll recommend therapists who best fit your needs. You can also book a free consultation to meet the therapist before committing.

We believe that therapy works best when there’s trust, comfort, and genuine connection. Our process is designed to make finding that fit easy and personalized.

Your first session is an introduction to the process and an opportunity to begin building rapport with your therapist. You’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and any immediate concerns you’d like to address.

The therapist will explain confidentiality, privacy, and session structure so you know what to expect moving forward. You can share as much or as little as feels right — the goal is to begin at your pace.

Many clients describe the first session as a relief: a space to be honest, seen, and supported without pressure. It’s an important step in building a relationship that supports your growth and healing.

At The Therapy Space, we believe therapy should feel authentic and human. We focus on creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported. Therapy is not about fixing what’s broken, but about discovering new ways to connect with yourself and your life.

Our therapists bring both professional expertise and genuine care. They integrate evidence-based methods with a person-centered approach, allowing you to work at your pace in an environment of trust.

We value inclusion, accessibility, and cultural awareness. Whether you live in a large city or a small coastal community, therapy can provide space to reflect, recover, and realign. At The Therapy Space, we’re committed to making that process supportive, flexible, and deeply personal.
