Family Therapy
Families are their own unique ecosystem with each member being an important part of the whole. Family therapy enhances communication, deepens mutual understanding, and strengthens problem-solving. Together, your family learns coping strategies while healing and growing stronger as a unit.
Teen Girl Counselling
Are you a young woman who feels weighed down by pressures, body image expectations, or relationship drama? Sessions help teen girls develop emotional regulation, self-confidence, and healthy coping mechanisms through individualized approaches combining talk therapy, mindfulness, creative arts, and more.
Parent Counselling
Parenting is one of the most rewarding, yet one of the most difficult roles we can hold.

We create a safe, non-judgemental space to work through challenges and heal generational patterns.
Questions & Answers
Ontario Virtual Counselling FAQs
Is Kiran registered to practise in Ontario?
Yes. Kiran Dhingra Stenstrom is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), which is the regulatory body that authorises social workers to practise in Ontario. This registration specifically covers electronic (virtual) therapy, meaning she can provide professional counselling services to Ontario residents fully within the regulatory framework.
Where in Ontario do you accept clients?
Virtual sessions are available to clients anywhere in the province of Ontario — from Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and Kingston to smaller and more remote communities. As long as you have a reliable internet connection and a private space, location is not a barrier.
What technology do I need for virtual sessions?
You'll need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a private, quiet space for your session. Sessions are hosted on a secure, PIPEDA-compliant video platform. Account creation with the booking software is required. You'll receive a simple link to click at your appointment time.
Does OHIP or Ontario insurance cover for virtual sessions?
Sessions with a Registered Social Worker are not covered under OHIP. However, many extended health benefit plans in Ontario include coverage for Registered Social Workers. If you have an employer plan, a group benefits package, or private insurance, please check your policy for "Social Work" or "Registered Social Worker" coverage. Contact us if you have questions and we'll help you clarify before your first session.
How is virtual counselling different from in-person sessions?
Research consistently shows that virtual counselling is as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns. Many clients actually find it easier to open up from a familiar environment, and the flexibility of virtual sessions removes barriers like commuting, childcare, or scheduling conflicts. Kiran brings the same warmth, presence, and clinical expertise to every virtual session as she does in person.
