CBT ONLINE – CBT with a Canadian therapist

I’m an experienced Ontario MSW RSW therapist specializing in CBT Therapy Online or Virtual CBT.

I’ve helped hundreds of clients resolve problems using Virtual CBT.

Mary Cross MSW RSW, therapist

I aim to be transparent on this website and give you all of the information you seek in order to feel comfortable booking a Free Consult. I know for myself that when I search services I want to see the fees, services, and process upfront.

Online CBT

I do Virtual CBT because I’ve seen how well it works. From your living room, bedroom, office, or even your car, you can meet me via webcam in a comfortable way. Virtual CBT lets me help people anywhere in Ontario. Easy peasy.

My Therapy Style

We work together as a team. I get to know you, your history, stresses and significant events that might be affecting you. I offer new ways to think about things and assist you to change unhelpful beliefs, thinking, feeling or actions, and empower you toward your goals.

The CBT Triangle

Short-Term Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

CBT is a goal oriented therapy to solve problems. We aren’t necessarily talking about everything in your life (but of course, we can). Frequent sessions in a short amount of time is an effective approach for concerns helped with CBT. To me, short-term therapy means 5 -10 sessions.

Nothing is set in stone. It depends on how busy you are, how much “homework” there is, and the concerns that you are trying to change.

  • Generally, we start our sessions closer together and move them further apart.
  • We may need a longer-term approach for difficulties that are having a significant impact on your daily life.
  • You might be surprised how quickly you can resolve your problems!


Insurance / Health Benefits Coverage

I am covered by most workplace Extended Health Care plans, Health Insurance plans, EAPs, Colleges and Universities as a Master of Social Work (MSW), Registered Social Worker (RSW) from Ontario.

I encourage you to contact your benefits provider and see if I am covered, how much you have available per year and when your benefits renew.
