Hi I cam Empathise with how you are feeling at the moment as Mental Health issues have gone though the roof.
you wont find any reputable counselor speaking to you over Zoom. and you have to be careful you wont get charged for it .
there are agencies out there that can offer you support at this time.
I would sugest you speak to your doctor as they can put you in toutch with someone.
but nothing will happen until Lockdown is over


Namaste

I can attest to the fact that reputable counselors are definitely doing Zoom sessions right now! Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who would do it without a professional reference. Do you have any insurance? If you have insurance, I might be able to help you find someone. Do you live in the UK?

I'm really sorry about your struggles. Hopefully, you'll find the help you seek. Good luck to you, my friend!

Hi Tom,
I am very sorry that you are struggling during this very stressful and trouble time.
It is great that you are seeking help!

Currently all active psychologists, LCSWs, counselors/therapists, and psychiatrists are working through video or telephone visits - in USA and in other countries.
They have continued seeing their patients during COVID19 and most have been taking new patients during this time.

Without knowing your location nor situation, here are my recommendations:

1. if you have a health insurance, please contact your insurance carrier and request a list of their contracted therapists. Then contact them individually to find out if they take a new patient and schedule an video or tele appt.

2. If you don't have a health insurance and living in USA, find out if you are qualified for an ACA insurance in your state and apply. One of ACA insurance mandated coverage is mental healthcare.

3. If you don't live in USA and/or not qualified for ACA insurance, contact your local social services/counties/cities/etc,most of them have increased mental health services and provide therapy through video or tele visits.

4, Many of the local churches and temples and community centers provide counseling as well. Please please contact them.

Tom, please keep in mind that we are all in this together.
You will go through this challenging time and will survive this.
This time is just a small fraction of your entire life span.
This time will pass in next several months and you will continue to live until your end time.
Just stay healthy by taking care of yourself during this time.
