FAQs

TimelyCare is a virtual health and well-being platform available 24/7, 365 days a year, for Virginia Tech students.

Any enrolled Virginia Tech student can use TimelyCare. Scheduled counseling is available wherever you are in the US, and Health Coaching and TalkNow services are available wherever you are around the world. Additionally, TimelyCare provides live translation for over 250 languages.

TalkNow: 24/7, on-demand emotional support to talk about anything, including anxiety, relationships, depression, and school-related stressors. This can be a supplement to therapy, or standalone. It is unlimited.
Scheduled Counseling: Choose the day, time (including later evenings and weekend availability), and mental health provider that works best for you. Students can look through the bios, specializations, and identities of the providers to find a match a good match. Over half the TimelyCare providers hold a BIPOC identity. All of their providers have training in the diverse needs of college students. This service is best for students seeking ongoing counseling services over multiple appointments, which last approximately 50 minutes each. Sessions can extend to 12 appointments over the course of the calendar year, which resets each fall. Students cannot engage in concurrent individual therapy with a provider at Cook Counseling and scheduled (on-going) therapy through Timely Care.
Health Coaching: Develop healthy lifestyle behaviors for nutrition, sleep habits, time management, and mindfulness. This can be a supplement to therapy, or standalone as well. It is unlimited.
