TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH WITH ONLINE THERAPY AT MIND BY DESIGN COUNSELING
We don’t ascribe to a one-size-fits-all method, and neither should you.
Our online therapy services range from traditional talk therapy to options like Virtual Reality Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. Whether you’re managing anxiety, OCD burnout, or stress, we’re here to help you find what really makes a difference.
What We Treat
We take an approach that combines traditional therapy with cutting-edge tools like VR Therapy, giving you the chance to face and manage anxiety head-on. Therapy with us isn’t just about coping—it’s about taking charge of your peace of mind.
OCD can feel relentless, but it doesn’t have to run the show. Through specialized treatments, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with Virtual Reality, we’ll work with you to break down the barriers OCD creates. Together, we’ll help you reclaim your freedom, one step at a time.
Stress is real, and it’s more than just “taking a deep breath.” Our online therapy for stress provides practical strategies that fit your life and don’t just scratch the surface. Whether through talk therapy, VR exposure, or creative therapies, we’ll help you put stress in its place and find balance.
Depression can take over and feel impossible to shake. Our online therapists use a mix of approaches, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, to find what really works for you. We’re here to help you reconnect, find relief, and move toward a brighter place.
Looking for more specific mental health support?
We don’t do therapy by the book. Our goal is to meet you where you are & work with you to find what actually makes a difference in your life. Our team of qualified online therapists help clients manage major Life Transitions, overcome Phobias & Fears, provide compassionate Grief Counseling & support new parents seeking Postpartum Counseling.

Is Online Therapy As Effective As In-Person Therapy?
Online therapy is essentially face-to-face counseling, just conducted remotely. Studies show that teletherapy is as effective as traditional counseling. Professional organizations and state governments recognize its benefits and have set regulations for it. However, like any therapy, its success in achieving your goals isn’t guaranteed. It’s important to discuss with your therapist whether teletherapy is working for you.
How Should I Prepare for My First Session?
Showing up is all that you need to do! But if you really want to get the most out of session, it could help to take some time to think about what you want from therapy. It helps to write down your goals, questions you have or things that you feel are important to share.
Do you offer traditional talk therapy?
of course! though we have some unconventional therapy approaches, we are rooted in evidenced based practices. Talk therapy is a major player in the therapy room! See What we Treat and Integrative Services for more information
Is Virtual Counseling Suitable for Everyone?
Online therapy might not be as effective for individuals with chronic suicidal thoughts, severe trauma, significant mental health history, or those recently in intensive care. Such cases often benefit more from traditional, in-person counseling. We’ll help you decide if our online services are right for you during your intake and evaluation.
Can I Change Therapists If I'm Not Happy?
Yes, you can switch therapists to another provider within the practice, or we can provide you a referral if preferred.

Yes, it’s pretty simple to access sessions. You’ll need basic internet skills, such as opening and visiting the patient link sent to you via email. It’s similar to video chatting like Facetime or Zoom. We can also walk you through it on the phone the first time to ensure a strong connection
