Online counseling across Wisconsin
Private video sessions with a licensed Ovel therapist, from your sofa, your car at lunch or a quiet office. Same people, same fees as our Madison rooms.
Nothing to install
Evenings until 8 pm
From $60 a session
Why people choose online
Keep the therapist.
Online sessions at Ovel are the same 50 minutes with the same licensed therapists who work in our Madison rooms. The only thing missing is the hour you used to spend getting there.

Client words

Wausau · a parked car, 12:15 pm
My lunch break became the one hour a week nobody could interrupt.
Eau Claire · the spare room, 8 pm
After the kids were asleep was the only time I had. Marcus never once made that feel like second best.
Superior · a dorm room, 4 pm
There is no therapist within an hour of campus. Leah was there on Mondays, every Monday.

Questions
Is online therapy as good as in person?
For anxiety, low mood and most worries, research finds the results are much the same. We tell you honestly if we think the room would suit you better.
What do I need?
A phone, tablet or laptop with a camera, a steady connection and somewhere private. No app or account.
What if someone walks in?
Say "pause", or turn the camera off. We agree on a word in the first session so you never have to explain.
Can I join from my car?
Yes, if it is parked. Plenty of clients do, at lunch or outside the school gate.
How do I pay?
By card or HSA after each session. You get a receipt and, if you ask, a superbill for insurance.
Can I switch to the room later?
Any week. Same therapist, same fee, same record. Just tell us when you book.
Online sessions are not for emergencies.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988, any hour.
