Online Therapy · Anywhere in Washington
Talk to a real therapist by video, anywhere in Washington, and keep the same person every session.
The same therapists, the same care, from home, not a rotating platform. Most major insurance plans accepted. Same-week first appointments, or in person at our Green Lake, Burien and Smokey Point offices.
Online therapy at Counseling Services for Wellbeing connects adults anywhere in Washington with a real therapist by secure video, the same person each session rather than a rotating platform. We accept most major insurance plans, book first appointments the same week and also offer in-person care at our three Seattle-area offices.
You want to talk to someone, and getting there should not be the hard part.
Maybe the good practices are an hour away. Maybe the ones nearby have a months-long waitlist or are not taking new clients. Maybe your schedule, your work or the people you care for rule out a regular drive across town. Maybe you live in a small community where everyone knows everyone, and you would rather get support from outside your own circle. Or maybe you simply do your best thinking from your own space, with the door closed and the commute deleted.
The worry that holds people back from online care is usually the same. That online means a different counselor every time, a new face reading a fresh summary while you start over, on a platform that will not take your insurance. That is a fair worry, and it is exactly what we are built to avoid.
Online therapy here means a real therapist, the same one each session. Someone who knows your story, and care your insurance can actually reach.
Online therapy for adults anywhere in Washington who do not want to trade consistency for convenience.
No good local practice nearby
You live in a town or county where the good practices are an hour away, so video care brings a real therapist to wherever you are.
Facing a long local waitlist
The practices near you have a months-long wait or are not taking new clients, and you do not want to put it off any longer.
A schedule that rules out a commute
Your work or caregiving makes a regular drive across town hard, and meeting from home is the only way the time actually fits.
A small community where everyone knows everyone
You would rather get support from outside your own circle, and video lets you work with someone beyond your town.
You do your best work from home
Some people simply think more clearly from their own space, with the door closed and the commute deleted.
You want consistency, not a rotating platform
You do not want a different counselor every few weeks, so you are looking for one therapist who stays with you over video.
You do not have to give up consistency to get convenience. And for anyone near the Seattle metro who would rather be in the room, the same care is available in person at our Seattle offices.
How online therapy works here.
Online therapy here works just like our in-person care, matched at intake to one therapist who stays with you, delivered over secure video built for healthcare. The format changes, the quality of the relationship does not.
Reach out
A short form or a call. We learn what you are working on and whether video or in person makes more sense for you. A real person from our team reviews each one before reaching out, so the first step is never a portal you talk to alone.
Matched at intake, by video
We pair you with a therapist who fits what you are working on, the same way we would in person. The match is the priority, not the next open slot, and that one therapist learns your story and stays with you.
Start this week, from home
First appointments are available the same week, over secure video built for healthcare. You join from a private space on a phone, tablet or computer, and we walk you through exactly how it works before your first session.
The same therapist each session, with a whole-person lens.
The same therapist each session is the heart of it. You are matched with one therapist who learns your story and stays with you, not a rotating pool that hands you to whoever is free. That continuity is what makes real progress possible, and it is the main thing that sets us apart from the big telehealth platforms. Research finds that for many people online therapy works as well as in-person care, a view the American Psychological Association echoes when it notes telepsychology can be as effective as in-person treatment for a range of concerns.
One therapist who knows your story. Matched at intake so the fit is right. Secure video that meets the privacy bar. A whole-person lens carried straight into video care. Counseling Services for Wellbeing was built on the idea that mental health care should account for the whole person, not just the presenting problem, so we pay attention to sleep, energy, the body and the patterns around you, whether you meet us with CBT, EMDR or DBT in the room or on a screen.

We are not the cheapest app and we do not run an in-app message thread. We are the option that gives you the same therapist each session, takes most major insurance plans, gets you in this week by secure video anywhere in Washington, and can coordinate therapy with psychiatry inside one practice.
Most major insurance plans accepted
We recommend confirming your benefits with your insurer before your first session, so online care here does not have to be cash-pay only the way many telehealth platforms are.
Meet some of the therapists who offer online care.
A team that works by secure video across anxiety, depression, couples and trauma, deeper than the few here. We match you with one therapist whose focus fits what you are working on, and they stay with you.
A deeper bench of therapists than the few here. Tell us what is going on and we will match you with the right person, by secure video.
Secure video anywhere in Washington, or three offices if you would rather be in the room.
Counseling Services for Wellbeing serves all of Washington by secure video, so where you live is not a barrier to good care. We also have three offices across the Seattle metro, and you can move between video and in-person sessions as your life changes.

Anywhere in Washington. The same therapist each session.
Adult therapy in Seattle →What people ask before starting online therapy in Washington.
Do you take my insurance for online therapy?
We accept Kaiser, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Cigna for online therapy, and we recommend confirming your specific benefits with your insurer before your first session, so you know exactly what to expect rather than guessing. You do not have to be cash-pay only the way many telehealth platforms require, and there are no surprise bills after the first visit.
Will I see the same therapist each time?
Yes. You are matched with one therapist who learns your story and stays with you session to session, rather than a rotating pool that hands you to whoever is free. That continuity is the heart of how we work and the main thing that sets us apart from the big telehealth platforms, where the face often changes.
Where in Washington can I be seen online?
Anywhere in the state. We serve all of Washington by secure video, whether you are in a city, a suburb or a small town with no good local practice. Because our clinicians are licensed in Washington, geography is not a barrier, so you can get consistent care without driving to one of our Seattle-area offices.
How soon can I be seen?
First appointments are available the same week, not weeks out. Much of the market books four to six weeks ahead or is cash-pay only, so you do not have to white-knuckle a long wait to start. We are accepting new clients now by secure video, and we will find the first opening that fits your schedule.
Is online therapy as effective as in person?
For many people video care works well and fits their life better, and research finds it can be as effective as in-person therapy for a range of concerns (American Psychological Association). We will be honest about whether video or in person makes more sense for what you are working on, and you can switch between them.
Is online therapy private and secure?
Yes. Sessions are over secure video built for healthcare, not a casual video app, and you join from a private space on a device of your choosing. We will walk you through exactly how it works before your first session, so the technology is the easy part and you can focus on the work rather than the setup.
Can I switch between online and in person?
Yes. The same care is available in person at our Green Lake, Burien and Smokey Point offices for anyone near them, and you can move between video and in-person sessions as your needs change. You keep the same therapist either way, so switching the format never means starting over with someone new.
