Online Therapists in Québec

Online therapy in Québec allows clients to meet with licensed therapists virtually via video sessions, phone calls, or secure messaging platforms. The process mirrors in-person therapy—sessions are private, structured, and designed to help you work through your goals and challenges at your own pace.

Clients often appreciate the flexibility of online therapy. Without needing to commute or schedule around travel time, it’s easier to maintain consistent sessions, especially for those balancing work, school, or family responsibilities. Online therapy also expands access to specialized care that might not be available locally.

At The Therapy Space, sessions are conducted through Jane App, a secure Canadian platform with end-to-end encryption. This ensures that therapy remains confidential and compliant with Canadian privacy laws, giving clients peace of mind while receiving care from home.

All online therapists at The Therapy Space are Master’s-level Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) or RP (Qualifying) members registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Although licensed in Ontario, they are authorized to provide virtual psychotherapy to clients living in Québec.

Our team includes therapists with diverse clinical backgrounds and advanced training in modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based therapy, and trauma-informed care.

This expertise allows each therapist to tailor sessions to your unique needs, goals, and preferences. Whether you’re seeking practical coping tools, emotional exploration, or relational support, our RPs deliver personalized therapy rooted in compassion, professionalism, and evidence-based methods.

Yes. All virtual sessions are hosted on Jane App, a secure, Canadian-based telehealth platform that complies with PIPEDA and PHIPA—two major Canadian privacy laws protecting personal health information. These laws ensure that your data, session notes, and communications are encrypted and stored safely.

Therapists also uphold strict ethical and confidentiality standards set by the CRPO. Sessions are conducted in private, professional environments to ensure that your privacy is respected at all times.

Before your first session, your therapist can walk you through how to prepare your space for optimal privacy—such as using headphones, choosing a quiet room, and securing your device—to make the experience both safe and comfortable.

Online therapists in Québec provide support for a broad range of mental health concerns. Common areas include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress management, burnout, and low self-esteem. Many clients also seek therapy for life transitions, career pressures, or identity exploration.

Because online therapy can incorporate many evidence-based techniques—such as CBT for cognitive restructuring, DBT for emotion regulation, or ACT for mindfulness-based change—it’s highly adaptable to individual needs.

Therapists also recognize the unique stressors that come with living in Québec’s fast-paced, bilingual environment, including workplace transitions, cultural identity, and balancing multiple roles. The online format makes it easier to receive consistent, meaningful support wherever you are in your journey.

Finding the right fit is key to effective therapy. At The Therapy Space, you can use our Get Matched feature to receive personalized recommendations based on your goals, availability, and therapy preferences.

Our matching system considers details like your presenting concerns (e.g., anxiety, relationships, trauma), language preference (English or French), and desired therapy style. You can also browse therapist profiles, view introductory videos, and book directly through our site.

Once matched, you can start with a free consultation to see if the therapist feels like a good fit. This no-pressure step helps ensure you feel comfortable, supported, and confident moving forward.

Under professional guidelines, Ontario-registered psychotherapists can provide virtual psychotherapy to clients living in other provinces like Québec, as long as both the therapist and client are located within Canada.

This allows The Therapy Space’s team of Registered Psychotherapists (CRPO) to legally and ethically support clients across provincial borders. Our therapists are well-versed in offering care that’s culturally and linguistically appropriate for Québec residents.

For clients, this means you can receive therapy from qualified, Ontario-licensed professionals without geographical limitations. The process is identical to in-province online therapy—sessions remain secure, confidential, and fully compliant with Canadian regulations.

Online therapy removes many of the traditional barriers to care—such as travel, time constraints, and limited access to local therapists—making it more convenient and consistent. You can attend sessions from home, your office, or any private space that feels comfortable.

Virtual therapy is also ideal for clients in remote or rural Québec communities where specialized mental health services may not be available locally. It ensures that professional support is accessible to everyone, regardless of location.

Another benefit is flexibility. Many clients find that being in a familiar environment helps them feel more relaxed and open during sessions, leading to more meaningful therapeutic progress.

Because language is deeply tied to identity and emotional expression, The Therapy Space offers bilingual (English and French) and multicultural therapists who understand the nuances of communication in Québec.

You can request a therapist who speaks your preferred language, or who understands the complexities of living between multiple cultures or linguistic communities. For instance, some clients may feel more comfortable discussing family or identity issues in French, while others may prefer English for work-related or academic concerns.

This flexibility ensures that therapy feels inclusive, accessible, and attuned to Québec’s diverse cultural landscape, helping clients express themselves authentically and comfortably.

Your first session is an introduction to your therapist and an opportunity to share what brought you to therapy. You’ll discuss your background, goals, and any immediate challenges you’d like to address.

Your therapist will explain their approach—such as whether they use CBT, DBT, ACT, or integrative methods—and outline how future sessions will be structured. You’ll also review confidentiality, scheduling, and what progress might look like.

Most clients leave the first session feeling reassured, with greater clarity about their next steps and a sense of relief that they’ve taken an important step toward healing.

Yes, most extended health insurance plans in Québec cover sessions provided by Registered Psychotherapists (RPs). This includes plans from major insurers like Manulife, Sun Life, Green Shield, Canada Life, and Desjardins.

We recommend checking your individual policy to confirm coverage for “psychotherapy” or “mental health counselling.” If your plan requires a receipt with specific credentials, The Therapy Space provides documentation that includes your therapist’s professional registration number.

Even if your plan doesn’t cover psychotherapy directly, some clients claim it under “psychological services” or submit receipts for wellness spending accounts. Your therapist can help clarify these options during your consultation.

Online therapy works well for most people, particularly those comfortable with technology and seeking convenience. It’s ideal for individuals who prefer flexible scheduling, privacy at home, or who live in areas without easy access to in-person care.

If you value privacy, flexibility, and accessibility, virtual sessions can provide the same depth and connection as traditional in-person therapy. Many clients even find that opening up feels easier in their own environment.

However, if you struggle with unstable internet access or find it difficult to focus online, you may want to discuss potential accommodations with your therapist. They can help adapt the experience to your needs, such as using shorter sessions or phone-based alternatives.

Booking is simple. Visit The Therapy Space website and either browse our therapist directory or use our Get Matched form for personalized recommendations. You can view therapist bios, watch introduction videos, and schedule a free consultation before committing.

All sessions are booked and hosted through Jane App, ensuring secure scheduling, encrypted communication, and easy access to receipts and session notes. You’ll receive automatic reminders before each appointment.

Once your session is confirmed, you’ll receive a secure video link. Simply log in from your computer or smartphone at the scheduled time—and begin your journey toward emotional clarity and mental wellness from anywhere in Québec.
