How virtual therapy works

Sessions are held by secure video through our client portal. After you reach out, we match you with a clinician, confirm fit and scheduling, and send intake paperwork electronically. Sessions run approximately 55 minutes.

About Missouri

Missouri blends two large metros with a broad rural middle, and access to specialized therapy varies widely depending on where you live. Secure video sessions let adults across the state work with the same clinician consistently, whether you are in a downtown office or an hour from the nearest counselor.

Missouri facts

• Population of roughly 6.2 million across 114 counties and the independent city of St. Louis.
• St. Louis and Kansas City are the two largest metro areas, with Springfield and Columbia next.
• Healthcare, agriculture, transportation, finance and higher education drive much of the economy.
• Counseling is regulated by the Missouri Committee for Professional Counselors under the Division of Professional Registration.
• A large share of Missouri counties are federally designated mental-health professional shortage areas.
• The state borders eight others, so many residents commute or travel across state lines — location at session time is what matters.

Questions people ask

Do I have to live in Missouri to be seen?

You must be physically present in Missouri at the time of each session, in line with state licensing rules. Travel plans should be discussed with your clinician in advance.

Is online therapy as effective as in person?

For many adults, yes. Virtual sessions also remove commute time, which makes consistent weekly care far easier for busy schedules.

What technology do I need?

A private space, a stable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera.
