Virtual Counselor

Virtual Counselor was built specifically for college mental health from the ground up, with over 100,000 sessions delivered since 2013. The platform serves students across 40+ states and specializes in the mental health issues most prevalent in college environments: transition stress from leaving home, academic pressure, anxiety, and depression. You'll work with therapists who understand the college experience and the unique stressors that come with it.

This is a solid pick if you want a telehealth provider with deep expertise in college student issues and a proven track record of actually serving that population. The network's experience means they're likely to recognize patterns in what you're experiencing and know evidence-based approaches that work for students. It works well for students seeking ongoing therapy rather than crisis intervention, with the established network meaning reasonable availability for regular weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
