We’ll help you understand the patterns behind anxiety or overwhelm and practice useful ways of responding in daily life.
Free 15-minute phone consultation.
An Appointment Has to Fit Into Your Actual Week
You may have been thinking about therapy for a while, then looking at your calendar and deciding it will have to wait.
Perhaps getting across the city means rearranging your workday. Or managing a health condition makes the journey itself feel like one more demand on your energy. And you can't imagine traveling to yet another appointment with your baby.
A video appointment gives you a way to meet with your psychologist from a suitable private space. You’ll still need time when you can focus without being overheard or interrupted. That time is for you, including on days when there is plenty else asking for your attention.
What Happens in an Online Therapy Appointment?
Online therapy is a one-to-one appointment with your psychologist over video. At Inner Balance, sessions take place through Jane.
You’ll talk about what has brought you to therapy and agree on what you want to work on. Your psychologist will explain the approach they recommend and help you understand how it relates to the difficulties you’re having.
Depending on your concerns, the work may include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or another approach suited to your needs. You might explore a worry pattern, practice a skill during the appointment, or plan something to try between sessions.
Your initial assessment is 90 minutes, giving us time to discuss your concerns in depth and design a personalized treatment plan. Standard ongoing therapy appointments are 50 minutes.
Bring the Concern That’s Been Taking Up Your Headspace
Our clinicians work with adult women facing concerns such as:
Anxiety, OCD and intrusive thoughts
Perfectionism and overthinking
Burnout and ongoing overwhelm
Motherhood and reproductive or hormonal mental health concerns
Insomnia and the psychological impact of health concerns
The consultation is a chance to ask about your psychologist’s experience with what you’re facing. We’ll discuss whether the clinician and the online format are a suitable fit.

If you travel or move during treatment, let your psychologist know before attending from a different location. We’ll confirm what is possible before your next appointment.
Set Aside a Space Where You Can Speak Freely
Before your appointment, arrange:
A private place where you can talk without being overheard
A computer, tablet or phone with a working camera and microphone
A reliable internet connection
Enough uninterrupted time for the appointment
Headphones may make it easier to hear and reduce the sound others can hear from your device. They don’t replace having a private space.
You can join your video appointment through the instructions in your Jane appointment email or through your Jane account. Give yourself a few minutes to check your camera and sound before your first appointment.
If privacy or technology is a concern, bring it up during the consultation so we can discuss whether the available format will work for you.
Which psychologist provides this treatment?
Both Dr. Kristin Calverley and Dr. Leah Chadwick provide this treatment. Availability depends on your location and the clinician’s authorization to practice there. Both are clinical psychologists with doctoral training. Their team profiles explain their backgrounds and areas of focus so you can ask about the experience that matters for your concerns.
You’re welcome to use the consultation to ask how a psychologist works and what an online appointment with them would involve.

Questions About Online Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Research supports therapist-guided remote CBT as an option for many concerns. A 2024 review of clinical trials found little average difference between remote and in-person CBT across the conditions studied. Your psychologist will consider the approach, your needs and whether video appointments are suitable for your circumstances.
Will talking on video feel impersonal?
It may feel unfamiliar at first. You can talk with your psychologist about what helps you feel comfortable and what feels awkward about the format. There is space to pause or ask for something to be explained. If video makes it difficult for you to participate, that matters when considering the fit.
How private are online appointments?
Inner Balance uses Jane’s encrypted video platform. Your surroundings and device also affect privacy, so choose a space where you can speak freely and avoid shared or public settings. Your psychologist will discuss confidentiality and its limits as part of informed consent.
Can I attend while travelling or from outside Alberta?
Ask before attending from a different location. Eligibility depends on where you’ll physically be during the appointment and the psychologist’s authorization to practice there. A clinician who can work with you at home may be unable to see you while you’re travelling. We’ll discuss what is possible for your location.
How do I know whether online therapy is right for me?
Your consultation is a place to discuss that question. The concerns you want help with, your access to a private space and how you feel about video all matter. Your psychologist will assess the suitability of the format and discuss other care options when appropriate.
What does online therapy cost, and can I use insurance?
Current fees, payment information and cancellation details are on our Fees & FAQs page. Coverage depends on your plan and the psychologist you see; ask your insurer about virtual psychological services. The initial 15-minute phone consultation is free.
