Where to Find Licensed Online Counsellors Specialising in Anxiety in Ontario
A warm, expert guide from therapists who help people overcome anxiety every day.
If you’ve been thinking about getting help for anxiety, you’re not alone — and you’re already on the right path. So many people across Ontario are living with worry, panic, overwhelm, or that constant buzzing feeling in the background. And the good news? You don’t have to try to manage all of this on your own.
Online counselling has become one of the most accessible, safe, and effective ways to get support for anxiety. But with so many therapists and profiles out there, how do you know where to find a licensed, credible, and truly helpful therapist?
As a team of Registered Psychotherapists who work with anxiety every day, here’s what we want you to know.
Why It Matters That Your Counsellor Is Licensed in Ontario
This part is essential.
In Ontario, psychotherapy is a controlled act, which means only licensed professionals can legally provide it. Working with someone who isn’t licensed can put you at risk — and you may not receive the safe, ethical care you deserve.
At J&K Mental Health, every therapist on our team has:
A master’s degree in Counselling Psychology (or higher)
Registration as a licensed psychotherapist in Ontario
Clinical supervision/consultation from our leader Kulsoom Malik who has a doctorate in clinical psychology and over 15 years of experience.
You’re not just getting someone who listens — you’re getting someone who understands anxiety deeply and knows how to help you move through it.
What Types of Anxiety Can Be Treated Online?
Pretty much all types of anxiety can be supported effectively online. In our practice, we regularly help clients with:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Postpartum anxiety
Panic attacks
Work-related anxiety and burnout
Trauma-related anxiety
Health anxiety
OCD
Anxiety related to your relationship
If something feels overwhelming or confusing, you don’t need the perfect words — a licensed therapist will guide you through it.
What Makes a Good Online Anxiety Therapist (in Ontario)?
When searching for an online therapist in Ontario, we recommend looking for:
✔ A licensed psychotherapist
This ensures they are registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
✔ A commitment to ongoing learning
The best therapists don’t stop growing.
Our team receives continuous training and supervision to ensure we're offering current, evidence-based care.
✔ A therapist you feel comfortable with
You should feel safe, heard, and respected.
That’s why we offer a free intake session, so you can get a feel for your match before starting therapy.
What Actually Helps Anxiety in Online Therapy?
Our team uses several evidence-based approaches, tailored to your needs:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
EMDR
Narrative Therapy
Behavioural strategies
Somatic and mindfulness-based techniques
These approaches work extremely well online — often more flexibly than in-person therapy.
And here’s something reassuring:
Most people start feeling relief within 6–8 sessions, not years.
A Real-Life Example of How Online Therapy Helps Anxiety Quickly
One of my favourite stories involves two clients who were stuck in a cycle of panic attacks that felt impossible to break. During their sessions, I introduced simple, effective grounding tools — like sour candies and ice — and both clients stopped their panic attacks in just one session.
These kinds of strategies can be taught and practiced easily online. Clients often leave feeling empowered, hopeful, and capable of regaining control.
