Yes, virtual counselling is a highly effective, flexible way to manage chronic anxiety and stress without the added pressure of a commute. Shadan Mosavat (M.A., CCC) offers secure, confidential online therapy for adults across British Columbia who are experiencing burnout, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
The benefits of choosing a local, specialized virtual counsellor over large text-therapy apps include:
Personalized Care: You work consistently with the same dedicated clinical counsellor who understands your unique history, rather than being passed between different providers.
Nervous System Regulation: Virtual sessions allow you to practice grounding techniques and emotion regulation strategies from the safety and comfort of your own home.
Evidence-Based Approaches: Get tailored support using proven therapeutic frameworks to identify anxiety triggers, set healthy boundaries, and reduce daily stress.
Flexible & Accessible: Teletherapy fits seamlessly into busy schedules, making it easier to prioritize your mental health.

No. A formal diagnosis is not required. Many people experience ADHD-related traits such as distractibility, emotional reactivity, or difficulty with executive functioning without having a diagnosis. We focus on your lived experience and what support would be most helpful for you.
-
Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of counselling. Information shared in sessions is kept private, with only rare legal or ethical exceptions, which will be clearly explained during the informed consent form.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific concern, while others choose longer-term work to explore deeper patterns. We regularly check in to ensure therapy is meeting your goals.
