Online Anxiety and Depression Treatment in Quebec: What to Expect
When engaging in online treatment for depression and anxiety in Quebec, you will learn skills similar to what you would learn during in-person therapy services. However, you are able to access this platform from anywhere in the province. This also allows you to work with an online therapist for depression or anxiety who does not reside in your province, yet still has access to evidence-based treatments. We provide most of our services from Ontario, yet you receive them in the convenience of your own province. We believe this is a significant advantage to online therapy services since you are now able to access highly trained professionals who don’t need to live or practice nearby.
Our virtual therapy services in Quebec are offered right across the province. This includes Montreal, Quebec City, Gatineau, Laval, Sherbrooke, Saguenay as well as Trois-Rivières and Chicoutimi-Jonquière.
Mental healthcare professionals on our team often use CBT techniques and ACT treatment interventions when delivering what we aim to be the best online therapy for anxiety and depression.
The types of skills you will learn would include the following:
- Understanding connections between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours
- Planning out exposure activities to face things that you might be avoiding, but are meaningful to you to do
- Learning tools to tolerate distress and face things that are difficult

Online Therapy for Teens in Quebec: What to Expect
Online anxiety treatment for teens can be a challenge to organize for parents and teens alike! We know that youth can have hectic schedules with homework, after-school programming and commutes to and from school. Therefore, flexibility during online therapy for teens is most beneficial. We have found that telepsychology services allow parents to stop worrying about leaving work and trying to troubleshoot getting their teen to an appointment on time.
During online OCD counseling, psychodiagnostic assessment services, online therapy for depression or anxiety treatment online, teens can comfortably log on from their own home, on time and engage with an online anxiety and OCD therapist in a confidential and secure virtual space. Another benefit is that virtual therapy services allow teens to manage their own schedule in a successful way. This can enhance organization, autonomy and responsibility for teens.
Our team at Forward Thinking offers online teen therapy in Quebec for a variety of presenting issues. For example, our team is highly trained and experienced in the provision of treatment for OCD for teens. Your online OCD therapist will provide evidence-based treatment that may involve Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy or Inference-Based CBT for OCD. Deciding on what approach to take will be discussed with your teen during the free online OCD therapy meet and greet session. This takes place prior to ongoing therapy sessions.
When our team provides virtual therapy in Quebec, we are able to include other family members living in different locations of the province. For example, family members can join at the end of a session and learn about important skills taught to their loved ones. This can aid parents or other family members in supporting their teen or loved one at home. They can also join at the beginning of a session to learn important updates from the online OCD therapist. Joining online OCD therapy treatment that is conducted by an experienced psychologist or OCD therapist is very simple! Just log on securely and take part in the session!
We also provide online group treatment throughout Quebec. Our online therapy group treatment focuses on helpful knowledge and strategies for individuals with symptoms of OCD. This treatment can help you learn from others and from your OCD therapist online in a secure setting. When you are taking part in online treatment for OCD, your options are limitless! Your OCD therapist can join you in any place that would be helpful to your treatment – your home, a store, a crowded mall or public transportation. We can go with you to places that far surpass the limits of a traditional therapist’s office.
Online OCD Therapy in Quebec: What To Expect
When participating in virtual therapy in Quebec with an online OCD therapist, you are able to target triggers in the very environment in which they occur. This has many benefits over therapy being held in a traditional office space. During our online OCD counseling, you will be able to do in-session exposure coaching with your online OCD counselor. This will provide you with exceptional support and skills that you will then be able to use when you are on your own, completing exposure therapy work.
Our team strives to provide the best online OCD therapy! We have extensive training and experience working with individuals with OCD. Our team engages in ongoing professional development to provide you with the best online therapy for OCD that we can deliver! We will work with you in a way that is meaningful, comfortable, and that allows you to reach the goals that you want. Because our team is so highly trained and experienced in working with OCD, we are able to provide interventions that are cutting-edge and fully based on the latest research on OCD.
We would always begin with an OCD assessment online to help determine the best approach to use. Because we have so much training and experience working with individuals with OCD, we know that it is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
One of the approaches that we use is often referred to as traditional CBT for OCD and incorporates exposure-based methods for OCD. What might this look like? It often involves learning about the OCD cycle and understanding the reasons why exposure therapy can be effective. You will then work with your online OCD therapist in Quebec to create an exposure map of activities and triggers you are avoiding due to your OCD. We want these to be meaningful activities that you want to build back into your life. Having your OCD therapist online to coach you through exposures can be extremely beneficial. For example, a teen might want to do exposure and response prevention work to target rituals that exist when doing their homework or studying. This can all be done through online therapy in Quebec, as you can take your online OCD therapist with you anywhere!
Of course, these exposure interventions would be difficult to work on in the context of an office setting. However, during online OCD treatment, an individual can engage with exposure therapy in real time. For example, one could coach an in-session exposure, which could involve toothbrushing without any rituals as their therapist coaches them virtually in their bathroom. Or, we could work with you in your kitchen to prepare a meal and work on limiting or eliminating any potential rituals. We are able to work on OCD themes related to contamination, checking behaviours, perfectionism, functional routines, symmetry, mental rituals, and so much more! Online OCD counseling can help you in ways that are creative and meaningful!
Adults and teens can access therapy online for OCD across the entire Quebec province. This includes Montreal, Quebec City and Sherbrooke. Although many of our Ontario therapists are English-speaking, we have some who speak French. Contact us to learn more about our services!
We understand that it can be very difficult to find the best online therapy for OCD that suits your needs. However, our online OCD therapy treatment means that: No matter where you live in Quebec, we are ready to work with you!
Another fantastic evidence-based OCD online therapy approach that our team is highly trained in is Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. When working with this approach, your online OCD therapist will work with you to understand the nature of your obsessional doubts and obsessional narratives. In doing so, you will become an expert at recognizing when the OCD story is at play, and you will be able to resolve your OCD thoughts. You will learn “this is my OCD”, and you will practice skills and tools that will enable you to shift your process of thinking and trust in yourself and not your OCD. In doing so, you will gain certainty in the world around you, and OCD will no longer be able to convince you of things that are not actually happening. You will be able to ground yourself in reality and realize that your OCD is not something you need to engage with. You will be able to live your life much differently and move forward towards what is important to you!Online treatment for OCD can also enable therapists and clients to use screen sharing with collaborative worksheets and informative short videos. These are powerful clinical tools that can improve the work during online OCD therapy. Individuals can also share their screens and show the work they accomplished in between sessions. We have found that people highly enjoy this experience, and it is just another benefit that OCD online counseling in Quebec can bring to you!
