Benefits of
Online Therapy
At Kari Walton Counselling, we believe that mental health support should be available to everyone without unnecessary barriers. Online therapy in Ontario provides a modern, flexible way to access mental health support, no matter where you are in the province. Our online therapy services are designed to offer the same high-quality care you would receive in person but with added convenience and accessibility.
Comfort of Your
Own Home
One of the most significant advantages of online counselling is the ability to engage in therapy from the comfort of your own home. This can create a more relaxed environment where you feel safe and secure, which may help you open up more easily during sessions. Being in a familiar setting can also reduce the anxiety that sometimes comes with attending therapy in an unfamiliar office.
No Travel Required
With virtual therapy, there’s no need to commute to a therapist’s office, which can save valuable time and energy. Whether you’re juggling work, family responsibilities, or other commitments, eliminating the need for travel makes it easier to fit therapy into your busy schedule. This also helps reduce stress related to transportation challenges, such as traffic or public transit delays.
Accessibility
Online therapy allows you to receive professional mental health support from anywhere in Ontario, whether you live in a bustling city or a remote rural area. You no longer have to worry about the availability of therapists in your immediate location—virtual therapy makes it possible to connect with a licensed therapist regardless of where you are.
Flexibility
Online therapy offers greater flexibility when it comes to scheduling appointments. You can often find session times that fit around your workday, childcare needs, or other obligations. This flexibility means you’re more likely to maintain consistent sessions and progress in your treatment without having to rearrange your entire routine.
Privacy and Confidentiality
For some individuals, seeking therapy in person can feel intimidating due to privacy concerns—whether it’s worrying about running into someone you know or feeling uncomfortable in a public waiting room. Online counselling eliminates these concerns by allowing you to attend virtual therapy sessions from a private location of your choice, helping you feel more at ease throughout the process.
Kari Walton Counselling is committed to treating each individual respectfully, providing a safe environment and unbiased confidentiality for children, teenagers and adults to express their thoughts and feelings.

Online Therapy Methods
At Kari Walton Counselling, we believe that every individual’s journey is unique. We use a variety of evidence-based and compassionate therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our online therapy sessions are tailored to help you navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels supportive and empowering, no matter where you are in Ontario.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours. Through CBT, you’ll learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier ways of coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. This method is highly effective for those looking to take an active role in their treatment and make meaningful changes in their daily lives.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve their interpersonal relationships. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies teaching skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. It can be particularly helpful for individuals experiencing borderline personality disorder (BPD), trauma, or chronic emotional dysregulation.
Our family and couples counselling services are designed to support healthy communication and relationship dynamics. Whether you’re navigating marital conflicts, parenting challenges, or broader family issues, online therapy provides a safe space for open dialogue and conflict resolution. We work with couples and families to improve understanding, rebuild trust, and strengthen bonds within the relationship.
Person-Centred Counselling places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process. This approach is grounded in the belief that individuals have the capacity for self-healing and personal growth when provided with a non-judgmental, empathetic environment. Our therapists offer a supportive space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace, empowering you to find your own solutions to life’s challenges.
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on uncovering unconscious thoughts and feelings that may be influencing current behaviours and emotions. By exploring past experiences and unresolved conflicts, psychodynamic therapy helps individuals gain insight into their inner world. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with long-standing emotional issues, trauma, or relationship difficulties.
Humanistic counselling emphasizes personal growth, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. This approach encourages individuals to explore their feelings in an open and non-directive way, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Humanistic counselling can be especially useful for those seeking greater meaning in life or struggling with issues related to self-esteem, personal identity, or existential concerns.
Integrative therapy combines techniques from different therapeutic approaches to provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This flexible approach allows our therapists to draw from various methods—such as CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and person-centred counselling—ensuring that your therapy is as effective and individualized as possible.
Everyone deserves access to compassionate, professional mental health care, no matter where they are. Online therapy in Ontario makes it easy to prioritize your well-being, offering flexibility, convenience, and personalized support—all from the comfort of your home.
