Online Grief Counseling
Grief doesn’t wait for a convenient time or place, and sometimes getting to an office is the last thing you have energy for. Empowered Therapy’s online grief counseling brings compassionate, personalized support to you through secure video sessions, wherever you’re located in Illinois.
Is online grief counseling as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes. Research on telehealth shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for most concerns, including grief. What matters most is the connection you build with your therapist and your consistency with sessions, both of which come through clearly on video.
What platform do you use for virtual grief counseling sessions
We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform designed specifically for telehealth. Your therapist will send you a simple link before each session, and no special account or download is required to get started.
Can I access online grief counseling from anywhere in Illinois?
Yes. As long as you’re physically located in Illinois, or another state where our therapists are licensed, you can access online grief counseling from home, work, or anywhere you have privacy and a stable connection.
Is online grief counseling covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover telehealth sessions the same way they cover in-person therapy. We currently accept:
We also work with private pay clients. Reach out to our billing team at billing@empoweredtherapy.org with any questions about your specific coverage.
What if I’m not comfortable talking about my grief on video?
That’s a common feeling, especially early on. Your therapist will go at your pace, and many clients find that being in their own familiar space actually makes it easier to open up than they expected. If video ever feels like too much, you can talk with your therapist about adjusting the format.
How soon can I start online grief counseling after a loss?
There’s no waiting period. You can begin online grief counseling immediately after a loss, or reach out whenever you feel ready, whether that’s days, months, or years later.
How do I schedule an online grief counseling appointment?
Put yourself first and begin the process to feel like YOU again!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any special software to join sessions?
No. You just need a device with a camera and microphone, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone, and a stable internet connection. Your therapist will provide a link to join each session.
Is online grief counseling confidential and secure?
Yes. Sessions are conducted through an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform, and the same confidentiality standards that apply in person apply to your virtual sessions.
Can I switch therapists if the first match isn't right?
Yes. Finding the right fit matters, and we’re happy to help you connect with a different therapist if your first match doesn’t feel right for you.
What happens if I miss a scheduled online session?
Please let our office know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule. Our team can walk you through our cancellation policy and help you find a new time that works.
