Frequently Asked Questions

  • A psychotherapist helps people deal with their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. They talk with you about what's happening in your life and help you find ways to feel better and cope with challenges.

  • To find a good psychotherapist you can ask your family doctor for recommendations.

    You can also search online, or ask friends or family if they know anyone. Look for someone with good reviews and who makes you feel comfortable.

    At Virtual CBT Psychotherapy, we have a variety of therapists to choose from. Book a free consultation and we will match you with an online therapist in Ontario.

  • In your first session, the therapist will ask about:

    • Your background

    • Why you're seeking help

    • What you hope to achieve

    • Your first session is a chance for you to get to know each other and see if you feel comfortable talking with them.

  • How often you see a psychotherapist depends on your needs. Some people go once a week, while others might go every two weeks or once a month. Your therapist will help you decide what's best for you.

    If you are looking to overcome specific mental health conditions, weekly therapy tends to work best.

  • No, psychotherapists cannot prescribe medication. Only doctors, like psychiatrists or family doctors, can do that. If you need medication, your therapist can work with your doctor to help you get it.

  • Yes, what you say to a psychotherapist is usually confidential. There are a few exceptions, like if you're in danger of hurting yourself or someone else. Your therapist will explain these exceptions to you.

  • Therapy can last from a few sessions to several months or even years. But, CBT tends to be short-term. Most of our clients see benefits after 6-8 sessions. It depends on what you're working on and how you're feeling. Your therapist will check in with you to see how you're doing and if you're meeting your goals.
