Online Therapy & Counselling in Abbotsford, British Columbia

No. You can book directly with TelePlus Care without a referral from a family doctor or Fraser Health. That's part of why many Abbotsford residents choose virtual care — it skips the referral step the public system often requires. If you'd like your care coordinated with an existing GP or a Fraser Health team, just let your provider know and they'll work alongside them.

For many common concerns — including anxiety, depression, stress, and grief — research generally finds virtual talk therapy can be as effective as in-person sessions for a lot of people. It also removes real barriers like travel across the Fraser Valley, time off work, and childcare. That said, it isn't right for every person or situation, and your provider will be honest if in-person or higher-level care would serve you better.

Where it is clinically appropriate, a Canadian-licensed doctor can assess whether an antidepressant such as an SSRI or SNRI may help and arrange follow-up. Prescribing always follows a proper assessment and your consent. For safety, controlled substances — including benzodiazepines like Ativan and ADHD stimulants like Adderall — are never prescribed online through this service; those require in-person care. Many people also do very well with therapy alone.

TelePlus Care is not for emergencies. If you're in immediate danger, call 911. If you're thinking about suicide or struggling to stay safe, call or text 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline — free, confidential, and available 24/7. In BC you can also call 310-6789 (no area code needed) or the Fraser Health Crisis Line at 1-877-820-7444, any time, day or night.

We support adults across all of Abbotsford — including Clearbrook, Central Abbotsford, West Abbotsford, Abbotsford East, Matsqui, and the Sumas Prairie area — as well as UFV students and nearby Fraser Valley communities like Mission, Chilliwack, and Langley. Because sessions are virtual, you can connect from wherever you are, as long as you're located in British Columbia at the time of your appointment.

Fees depend on the service, and we'll always be upfront before you book. In British Columbia, counselling and psychotherapy from non-physician providers are generally not covered by MSP and are paid privately or through extended health benefits — many workplace and student plans include mental-health coverage, so it's worth checking yours. Ask our team about current fees and what documentation you'll need for a benefits claim.

Yes. Sessions take place over secure, encrypted video, and your health information is handled in line with Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA. Only your authorized care providers can access your records. Choosing a private space for your appointment — at home or elsewhere in Abbotsford — also helps keep your conversation confidential on your end during the session.

Mental Health Counselling Online is a private $80 CAD service and is not billed to MSP. Extended-health reimbursement varies by plan and provider credentials, so confirm before booking.

Choose from the current Mental Health Counselling Online appointment times shown in the booking form. Availability changes with demand; the counselling visit is not an emergency service.

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across British Columbia, including Abbotsford, Burnaby, Campbell River, Chilliwack, and Coquitlam, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
