Sometimes Talking is Not Enough

We offer therapy that focuses on the underlying causes of distress rather than short-term relief. Our work is centered on creating meaningful, lasting change without forcing you into approaches that do not feel right for you. Your nervous system developed its patterns for important reasons, and when therapy works with those patterns instead of against them, real and sustainable change becomes possible. We see therapy as more than managing symptoms or getting through the week. It is about rebuilding your connection to yourself and to others. Coping skills can be helpful, but our primary goal is deeper healing by addressing the root of what you are experiencing. If you feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, support is available.

When Pain Persists Even After Every Option Feels Exhausted

Chronic pain can be deeply draining.
It disrupts sleep, wears down your energy, and slowly narrows your daily life. One of the most discouraging experiences is being told:

Nothing shows up on your tests.

Your imaging looks normal.

Try another round of physical treatment.

You feel confused, discouraged, or dismissed

And yet the pain continues. Persistent. Intense. Very real.

Many people seek virtual chronic pain therapy after years of appointments, medications, and unanswered questions, still searching for relief. Ongoing pain can feel confusing and isolating, but there is an explanation that makes sense. Through evidence-based virtual therapy, there is also a clear and accessible way forward, without needing to attend in-person sessions.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) helps retrain the brain’s danger signals that keep chronic pain active. When combined with EMDR, it calms the nervous system and supports long term healing.

Why Pain Happens — And Why It Persists

Pain is more than a physical sensation. It is the brain’s built-in alarm system designed to protect you.

After injury, ongoing stress, or repeated nervous system activation, the brain can begin to misinterpret safe signals as threats. Over time, this creates what is known as neuroplastic pain, real pain generated by a nervous system that remains stuck in a state of protection.

This explains why pain can continue long after the body has healed, and why many medical or symptom-focused approaches may not provide lasting relief. Virtual therapy that targets the nervous system helps address the source of this pain by retraining how the brain processes these signals.

Our Approach: Virtual EMDR + Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

Addressing chronic pain by working directly with the brain and nervous system.

At Innovative Counselling Ontario, we provide virtual, evidence-based therapy for chronic pain that focuses on how the nervous system processes pain, rather than only managing physical symptoms. Our online approach allows you to do this work safely and effectively from home.

1. Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

PRT is a neuroscience-based therapy that helps retrain the brain’s response to pain signals when pain is being driven by learned neural pathways rather than tissue damage.

Through virtual PRT sessions, clients learn to:

Differentiate between structural pain and neuroplastic pain

Decrease fear, monitoring, and hypervigilance around bodily sensations

Reassure the brain that the body is not in danger

Gradually rebuild movement, comfort, and confidence

Break the pain–fear–pain cycle that sustains chronic symptoms

Research shows that PRT can significantly reduce chronic pain and, for many people, lead to lasting relief without medication or invasive procedures.

2. EMDR Therapy for Chronic Pain

EMDR therapy supports the nervous system in processing unresolved stress, trauma, or pain-related memories that keep the body stuck in a constant state of threat.

Our EMDR approach supports clients in:

Unprocessing trauma and pain-related memories

Calming hyperactive pain circuits

Reducing emotional reactivity to pain

Restoring the body’s natural capacity for healing

Reconnecting with the sense of safety that pain often disrupts

When EMDR and Pain Reprocessing Therapy are used together in a virtual setting, they create a structured, effective pathway toward long-term pain relief and nervous system regulation.

Why This Is Our Approach

Our virtual chronic pain therapy focuses on the brain circuits that actively produce and maintain ongoing pain, rather than only managing symptoms.
Beyond coping — focused on change. The goal is not to teach you how to tolerate pain, but to help reduce or resolve it by addressing the underlying neural patterns driving it.
Personalized, supportive, and paced for you. Virtual sessions are tailored to your nervous system, personal history, and goals, allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels safe and effective.
Integrated with EMDR for deeper relief. By combining Pain Reprocessing Therapy with EMDR, we address both the emotional and neurological aspects of chronic pain within an online therapy setting.
