Virtual Therapy · Serving Edmonton, Alberta
Online Counselling & Couples Therapy in Edmonton
Waits for counselling can feel long, and a drive across the Henday in January is nobody’s idea of self-care. TEO Counselling brings the therapist to you — secure video sessions for individuals and couples across the Edmonton area, with evening and weekend hours and a free consultation to start.
Free 15–20 minute consultation · No referral needed · Sliding scale available
Counselling built for how Edmonton actually works
Edmonton runs on shift schedules — hospitals, refineries, warehouses, trades, and camp rotations that don’t respect a 9-to-5 therapy calendar. Because every TEO session happens by video, you can meet your therapist from your kitchen table in Mill Woods, a quiet room downtown after your shift, or your camp accommodation up north mid-rotation.
We’ll be straightforward: TEO Counselling does not have an Edmonton office. We are a fully virtual Canadian practice, and that is exactly what keeps sessions flexible — no parking, no waiting room, no cancelling because the Yellowhead is backed up. What you get instead is specialist-level care that fits around your actual week.
Our clinicians work with adults and couples across the province — see our Alberta therapy page for the wider picture — with sessions available in English and Arabic.
Two therapists who work with Edmonton clients
Mohamad Shabib, MACP, CCC
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), CRPO · Canadian Certified Counsellor
Mohamad leads TEO’s trauma therapy work — PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and addictions — drawing on EMDR (EMDRIA-trained), Internal Family Systems (Levels 1–2), CBT for Trauma, and CACCF addictions training. He also brings Gottman Method Levels 1 & 2 to every couple he works with. Sessions in English and Arabic.
Rola Shbib, BSW (Hons), RSW
Registered Social Worker, OCSWSSW
Rola comes from the front lines of community mental health — crisis intervention and suicide prevention, addictions and mental health support, and specialized grief and loss training through an honours degree in thanatology. Based in London, Ontario, she meets Alberta clients by secure video with a warm, trauma-informed approach, in English or Arabic. Meet Rola.
Marriage & couples counselling for Edmonton
Most couples wait until the same argument has run its course a hundred times before they reach out. Whether you’re dealing with constant conflict, quiet distance, parenting strain, or the aftermath of broken trust, structured couples work gives the two of you a different way through — a method, not just a referee.
TEO’s relationship counselling is grounded in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2), an approach built on decades of research into how couples argue, repair, and stay connected. Couples sessions are $175 per hour, with evening and weekend times so neither of you has to leave work early.
And because sessions are virtual, you don’t both need to be in the same room — one partner at home in Terwillegar, the other on nights at the plant or away on rotation. For a lot of Edmonton couples, that’s the difference between talking about counselling and actually starting it.
What couples work with us on
- · Repeating conflict cycles and communication breakdowns
- · Rebuilding trust after betrayal or secrecy
- · Feeling like roommates — restoring closeness and intimacy
- · Parenting and blended-family friction
- · Money stress and unequal mental load
- · Deciding the future of the relationship, honestly and safely

Common questions about counselling in Edmonton
How do I find a therapist in Edmonton who is accepting new clients?
Booking directly with a virtual practice is often the fastest route. TEO Counselling has no waitlist — book a free 15–20 minute consultation online, meet your therapist by video, and most new clients have their first full session within days.
Does TEO Counselling have an office in Edmonton?
No — TEO Counselling is a fully virtual practice, so there is no physical Edmonton location. Sessions happen over secure video through Zoom, Google Meet, or Jane, which means you can meet with your therapist from anywhere in the Edmonton area.
How much does counselling in Edmonton cost?
Individual therapy is $150 per hour and couples counselling is $175 per hour. Sliding-scale spots are available if cost is a barrier, and your initial 15–20 minute consultation is always free.
Do you offer marriage counselling for Edmonton couples?
Yes. Mohamad provides couples and marriage counselling grounded in Gottman Method training (Levels 1 & 2), focused on communication, conflict cycles, and rebuilding trust. Evening and weekend video sessions make it realistic for both partners to attend together.
Will my insurance cover online counselling in Alberta?
We provide a receipt after every session. Many extended health plans cover services from Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC), Registered Psychotherapists, or Registered Social Workers (RSW) — check which provider categories your specific plan reimburses before booking.
What hours are appointments available?
Evening appointments run Monday to Friday from 6:30pm to 9pm, and weekend appointments run from 12pm to 9pm — built for shift schedules, camp rotations, and working families.
