Online Therapy in Covington, Georgia
Online therapy for anxiety, stress and more in Covington. Georgia-licensed therapists for adults, couples and teens, with insurance accepted.
Therapy for Covington
Anxiety can be loud, like a racing heart or a panic attack in the grocery store, or quiet, like constant what-ifs and a body that never relaxes. If you're in Covington and anxiety has been running more of your life than you'd like, therapy can help you understand it and respond differently.
Covington is in Newton County, and we serve Newton County and every other part of Georgia by secure video. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches, and we confirm your insurance benefits before your first session.
Who we help
You don't need a crisis to start
We help adults with generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety and the low mood that can come with them. We also work with couples and with teens ages 13 to 17 whose anxiety shows up around school, friends or performance. You'll work on practical skills you can use between sessions.
You might be dealing with
- Low mood, low energy or losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Conflict or distance in a relationship
- Painful experiences that still affect you today
- Parenting stress and tension at home
Therapy services
Help with what you're carrying
Some people reach out about one specific problem, like panic attacks or a recent loss. Others can only say that something feels off. Both are good reasons to talk to a therapist. Individual sessions are confidential, about 50 minutes long, and built around goals you agree on together.
Couples therapy is for partners who keep circling the same fight, feel more like roommates than partners, or are working through a breach of trust. Both partners attend the same session for one fee, with no double billing, and both need to be in Georgia when you meet.

Ages 13–17
Teen therapy in Covington
Ages 13–17
Therapists who specialize in adolescents
Parents stay involved
Consent, safety updates and family sessions
Around the school day
Weekdays until 7pm ET and weekends
Our teen program is for 13- to 17-year-olds anywhere in Newton County, including Covington. Therapists who specialize in adolescents help with anxiety, depression, school avoidance, social media comparison, identity, and conflict at home, using language that doesn't talk down to teens.
Here is how parents fit in: you fill out the form and sign consent, we speak with you and your teen before pairing them with a therapist, and you join family check-ins every four to six weeks. Siblings can each have their own therapist, which often works better than sharing one.
There's no commute, so a session can start a few minutes after your teen gets home. Weekday times run until 7pm ET, Saturday times from 10am to 3pm ET, and Sunday times by arrangement, depending on the therapist's availability.
How online therapy works
Therapy from home in Covington
Online therapy removes the parts of therapy that are hardest to fit into a busy week: the drive, the parking, the hour lost in the middle of a workday. You open the session on your device, your therapist is on the other side, and when it ends you're already home.
You get access to our client portal for paperwork and scheduling, plus the free My MentalSpace app for iPhone and Android. Our hours include weekday evenings until 7pm ET and Saturdays from 10am to 3pm ET, with Sunday sessions by arrangement. You do need to be physically in Georgia for each session, which is a licensing requirement.
Hours
Monday–Friday 8am–7pm ET · Saturday 10am–3pm ET · Sunday by arrangement
Coaching
When coaching fits better than therapy
If your life is mostly working and you want help with a specific goal, coaching may be a better fit than therapy. Covington clients can work with a life coach on career pivots, accountability or a major transition, or with a relationship coach on communication and navigating differences.
Coaching sessions are online, like therapy, and both partners attend relationship coaching together at no extra cost. Insurance doesn't apply to coaching, and we confirm the per-session rate before you start. If your relationship is in crisis, couples therapy is usually the better call.

Covington FAQ
Questions people ask before starting
Do you have an office in Covington?
There's no physical office in Covington. Sessions are held by secure video with Georgia-licensed therapists, so you can meet from home, a private office, or anywhere in the state with a closed door and a good connection.
How do I start therapy for my teenager in Covington?
A parent or legal guardian completes our intake form on the teen's behalf and signs consent. We see teens ages 13 to 17. A care coordinator talks briefly with both of you, then matches your teen with a therapist who specializes in adolescents. Sessions are by secure video, so your teen can join from home after school.
Is online therapy private?
Sessions run on a HIPAA-compliant video platform, and your paperwork lives in a secure client portal. You choose a private place to join from. If you use insurance, your plan sees a diagnosis code and dates of service, never the content of your sessions. Private pay is available if you'd rather not file a claim.
What hours can Covington clients book sessions?
Our hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm ET and Saturday from 10am to 3pm ET, with Sunday sessions by arrangement. Exact appointment times depend on your therapist's availability, and the care team will look for a recurring time that fits your schedule.
Do you accept Georgia Medicaid in Newton County?
Yes. We work with the Georgia Medicaid plans Amerigroup, CareSource and Peach State Health Plan, and most Medicaid clients pay $0 per session. We confirm your benefits before your first session.
