A new survey from the American Psychological Association shows 76% of U.S. adults report experiencing symptoms of stress or anxiety. In response, Avid Counseling Services, a 100% virtual mental health provider, is scaling up its efforts to connect Americans with licensed professionals anywhere.

With a nationwide shortage of in-person therapists and rising costs of care, virtual therapy is not just a convenience; it’s a necessity. Avid Counseling is bridging that gap by offering secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions with trained professionals, allowing individuals to receive therapy from the privacy of their home.

The Mental Health Crisis, by the Numbers:
1 in 5 U.S. adults lives with a mental illness (NAMI, 2024)
Over 150 million Americans live in federally designated mental health professional shortage areas
62% of those seeking therapy say virtual care made it easier to get help

Avid’s licensed therapists specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. With a user-friendly booking system, clients can schedule weekly/monthly sessions with professionals who understand their struggles and meet them where they are.

As stigma fades and demand grows, virtual therapy is proving to be more than a temporary fix. It’s a reimagining of how care can and should be delivered.

Avid Counseling Services, a 100% virtual mental health service provider based in Oregon, is part of a growing ecosystem of care platforms helping bridge the access gap. By connecting individuals across Oregon with licensed professionals online, Avid offers flexible, private therapy sessions, accepting most major insurance plans for those seeking support in an overburdened system.
