The gap
Why does online access matter?
Many people in India who need mental health care never receive it, and distance is part of the reason.
In India's National Mental Health Survey (2015–16), the treatment gap for mental health conditions ranged from 70% to 92%, depending on the condition.

How does online therapy work?
You take a short matching quiz or browse the directory, choose a therapist, and book a time. At the time of your session you join a private video room from your dashboard in your browser, so there is nothing to install. You can message your therapist without sharing your phone number.
Take the matching quizIs online therapy effective?
Many people find online therapy works well, and it removes travel and waiting. It does not suit every situation. If you are in crisis, please use crisis support first, and your therapist will tell you if another kind of care would suit you better.

Many people share a home and still find privacy. Choose a time when you are alone or a quiet room, wear headphones, and tell your therapist if privacy is a worry, because they can plan sessions around it with you. Your video sessions and messages stay inside your private MLC dashboard.
Can I have therapy in my own language?
Therapists on MLC currently offer sessions in Arabic, Assamese, English, Hindi and Urdu, and the list grows as more therapists join. Filter by language in the directory, or tell the matching quiz your language and it will look for a therapist who speaks it.
Browse by languageWhat does it cost?
Every therapist sets their own session fee, shown on their profile before you book. The matching quiz is free, and many therapists offer a free 15-minute discovery call.
