Online Counseling Across Mississippi
Great counseling is available everywhere in Mississippi.
Stillwaters Counseling Group provides online counseling by secure video for individuals, couples, teens, and families located anywhere in Mississippi. You see the same licensed therapists who work in our Ridgeland office, using the same approaches, including CBT, EMDR, Gottman Method, and faith and spirituality when you ask for them. We are licensed to serve all 82 Mississippi counties, for clients physically located in Mississippi at the time of the session.
You may be here because getting to an office is the hard part.
Maybe the nearest therapist who does what you need is two hours away. Maybe your schedule, your kids, or your health make a weekly drive unrealistic. Maybe you live in a small town where everyone would recognize your car in the parking lot.
You have put it off because it felt like counseling was for people with more time or who lived closer.
Distance should not decide whether you get good care. For many people, telehealth is what makes counseling possible at all.
Who this helps
Who this is for
People anywhere in Mississippi, from the Delta to the Coast, who want specialized care without the drive.
Parents, caregivers, and people with demanding schedules or health limits. Couples, and teens who may open up more easily from home.
People who value privacy and would rather not be seen walking into a counseling office.
Our approach
How online counseling works at Stillwaters
- 1
The same therapists.
Online sessions are with the same licensed clinicians who see clients in Ridgeland.
- 2
The same approaches.
CBT, ACT, EMDR, Gottman Method couples work, and faith and spirituality, adapted for video where needed.
- 3
A secure platform.
Sessions run on SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, in a secure web browser or the SimplePractice client app on a phone or tablet.
- 4
What you need.
A phone, tablet, or computer, a reliable internet connection, and a private space where you will not be interrupted or overheard.
Not every therapist offers every approach online. Tell our intake coordinator what is happening and we will match you with someone whose training fits your situation.
Availability varies by therapist. It depends on which clinician you are matched with and how flexible your availability is. If you need to be seen sooner, say so when you call and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Why it matters who you see for this
Telehealth is not a lesser version of counseling. What makes counseling work is the therapist and the fit, and online counseling lets you choose based on training rather than whoever is closest.
It does take skill to do well. A therapist who works by video regularly knows how to read the room through a screen, slow things down when needed, and tell you honestly if something you are working on would be better in person.
