Therapy that comes to you
Virtual counselling lets you meet with a Registered Social Worker over secure video or phone, wherever you are in Saskatchewan. There's no commute, no waiting room, and no need to live in Saskatoon — just a private moment in your day and a confidential space to be heard. For many people, being in their own environment makes it easier to open up.
Is online counselling as effective?
For most concerns, research consistently shows virtual counselling is as effective as in-person therapy. What drives change isn't the room you're sitting in — it's the relationship between you and your counsellor, and that translates well over a screen. Jelena brings the same warmth, presence, and evidence-based approach (CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, and emotion-focused work) to virtual sessions as she does in person.
Who virtual counselling works well for
- People in Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, and rural or remote communities
- Busy parents and professionals who can't fit a commute into the day
- Anyone managing health, mobility, or transportation barriers
- People who simply feel more comfortable opening up from home
- Those who started in person and want flexible ongoing support
What you need: a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer. You'll get a simple, secure link to join — phone sessions are available too.
Insurance & coverage: Virtual sessions are typically covered like in-person ones. Jelena is approved for NIHB, Victim Services, SunLife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and most extended health plans.
Prefer to meet in person?
You're always welcome to. Jelena also offers in-person sessions in Saskatoon (#7 – 716 2nd Ave N), and many clients move flexibly between in-person and virtual depending on what their week allows. The choice is yours, and it can change over time.
