Online Therapy & Counseling

Virtual Therapy & Counseling for Addiction Recovery

Addiction doesn’t just affect the body—it impacts thoughts, emotions, and relationships in ways that can feel overwhelming. At FirePit Health, therapy and counseling are central to our recovery model because healing requires more than medication—it requires understanding, connection, and emotional growth.

Our licensed clinicians provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, or the challenges tied to your substance use. Therapy helps uncover the “why” behind addiction and offers strategies to navigate life without relying on alcohol or drugs.

We connect patients with a licensed therapist or counselor usually within 24 hours, so you can begin healing without delay.

Why Therapy Matters in Recovery

Recovery is about more than simply stopping a substance. True healing happens when you address the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that fuel addiction. Therapy creates a space where you can slow down, be heard, and begin to process your story without judgment.

In virtual therapy sessions, you’ll be able to:

• Process emotional struggles like trauma, grief, anxiety, or shame that often underlie substance use.
• Learn practical strategies to manage stress, cravings, and everyday triggers.
• Rebuild trust in yourself and in relationships that matter to you.
• Strengthen your recovery mindset so you’re more resilient in the long term.

For many people, therapy is the bridge between medication support and sustainable recovery. Our online MAT treatment program often works best when combined with counseling, giving patients both the medical and emotional tools they need.

What Types of Therapy Do We Offer?

At FirePit Health, therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We provide multiple formats, allowing you to choose what feels most supportive for your journey. Some patients focus on one type, while others combine several to create a more balanced care plan.

• Individual therapy: A one-on-one relationship with a licensed therapist where you can explore your personal challenges and goals in depth.
• Group therapy: A space to connect with others who understand what you’re going through, offering shared support and accountability.
• Family counseling: Sessions that bring loved ones together to rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and heal as a unit.

Each format addresses different needs, and you can shift between them as your recovery evolves. The goal is always to provide therapy that fits your life, not the other way around.

What to Expect from Our Virtual Counseling Process

Common Questions About Online Therapy and Counseling

Do I need to be sober before starting therapy?

No—you can begin therapy at any stage. Many patients start therapy while still using or in early recovery. Talking with a therapist can help you understand your patterns, explore your triggers, and begin building healthier coping strategies before you’ve fully stopped using substances.

Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person care?

Yes—online therapy and counselling is supported by strong research. Studies show that online therapy is just as effective as in-person treatment for many conditions, including addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. The added benefit of virtual care is accessibility—patients can attend consistently without dealing with travel, time off work, or stigma.

Can therapy help if I’m also on medication like Suboxone®?

Absolutely—therapy and MAT often work best together. While MAT helps stabilize brain chemistry and reduce cravings, therapy helps you process emotions, navigate relationships, and build long-term resilience. Many patients in our MAT treatment program find therapy is a critical part of achieving lasting recovery.

How do I know which type of therapy is right for me?

Your therapist will help guide you. Some people prefer one-on-one sessions to focus deeply on personal issues, while others find healing through group or family conversations. You can try one format or blend several—your care plan is always flexible.

Is therapy covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes—FirePit Health accepts Medicaid and most major insurance plans. Before you begin, we’ll verify your coverage so you know exactly what to expect financially.
