Why Virtual Therapy Works and Why It’s Here to Stay

By Jesse Deildale • December 10, 2025
At Grounded Light Counseling, we believe therapy should meet you where you are, and that’s exactly why we built our practice to be 100% virtual. While many people first discovered online therapy during the pandemic, telehealth has grown into something much bigger: a reliable, accessible way for people to connect with mental health support on their own terms. And here in Colorado, with our mix of mountain towns, rural communities, and busy cities, telehealth has become a game-changer. Here are just a few reasons we believe telehealth isn’t just the present of therapy; it’s the future. Privacy and Comfort For some, walking into a therapist’s office can feel overwhelming or even risky. Virtual therapy allows you to connect from the privacy of your own home, your office, or wherever you feel most at ease. This can be especially valuable for those living in small communities where privacy feels harder to protect. Convenience and Flexibility Life is full — between work, school, family, and responsibilities, making time for therapy can feel impossible. Telehealth removes commute time, parking stress, and scheduling headaches so you can focus on the session itself. It also makes it easier for clients and therapists alike to stay flexible with scheduling, which means fewer missed or delayed appointments. Better Access Across Colorado In rural areas, it isn’t always easy to find a qualified therapist nearby. Telehealth bridges that gap, making therapy available statewide, whether you’re in Fort Collins, the Western Slope, or a small mountain community. Reliability in All Conditions Colorado weather can be unpredictable... snowstorms, icy roads, even wildfires can disrupt travel. With telehealth, your access to care doesn’t depend on road conditions or safety concerns. Accessible for All For those living with chronic illness, mobility challenges, or caregiving responsibilities, getting to an office isn’t always possible. Telehealth ensures that therapy remains inclusive and reachable for everyone. Consistency Matters One of the biggest factors in successful therapy is simply showing up. With telehealth, it’s easier to attend sessions consistently, which leads to deeper progress and lasting change. At Grounded Light Counseling, we see telehealth not as a temporary solution but as the future of therapy... one that offers privacy, flexibility, and access for people all across Colorado. If you’ve been wondering whether online therapy could be right for you, we’d love to talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for answers related to anxiety, ADHD, or burnout?  You may find it helpful to explore our service pages for more in-depth information.

  • How do I know if therapy is right for me?

    Many people consider therapy because something feels heavy, stuck, or harder than it used to be, even if they can’t fully explain why. You don’t need a diagnosis or a specific goal to begin. If you’re feeling curious or wondering whether support could help, that’s reason enough to explore it.


  • Do I need to have everything figured out before starting?

    No. Most people don’t. Therapy is a place to slow things down and make sense of what’s going on, not a space where you’re expected to arrive with clear answers or the “right” words.


  • What is therapy like at Grounded Light Counseling?

    Therapy here is steady, collaborative, and paced with care. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, supporting emotional regulation, and building practical tools that fit real life. There’s no pressure to move faster than you’re ready for, and no one-size-fits-all approach.


  • How long does therapy usually last?

    That varies from person to person. Some people come for short-term support around a specific concern, while others choose to work together longer. We check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel helpful and aligned with your goals.


  • What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

    That experience is more common than many people realize. Therapy fit, timing, and approach all matter. A past experience doesn’t mean therapy won’t be helpful, it often means something different is needed now.


  • Do you work with adults and teens?

    Yes. We provide therapy for both adults and teens, tailoring our approach to developmental needs, life context, and individual goals.


  • What issues do you commonly help with?

    We commonly support individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, stress, burnout, and related concerns. Many clients experience overlap between these areas, and therapy can address them together rather than in isolation.


  • Is online therapy effective?

    Yes. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. For many people, meeting from their own space helps therapy feel more accessible, comfortable, and consistent.


  • What’s the first step if I want to learn more?

    A free 15-minute consultation is a simple way to ask questions, share what’s been coming up, and see if working together feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure to commit, just space to explore.
