You look like you have it together—but inside,
something isn’t working.
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—overthinking everything or struggling to enjoy life.
You may have tried to push through it, ignore it, or figure it out on your own—but nothing seems to actually fix it.
We help you understand what’s really going on—and how to change it in a way that actually lasts.
Get expert therapy from the comfort of your home—no commute, no waiting rooms, and no disruption to your day.
100% Virtual • Insurance Accepted across Oregon
Most clients start feeling clearer and more in control within the first few sessions.
You’ve tried to push through it—but it’s not working
The same thoughts, feelings, or patterns keep coming back—no matter what you do.
You might feel stuck in your own head, constantly overthinking or worrying.
Or disconnected—going through the motions but not really feeling much.
Maybe you’ve tried to ignore it, stay busy, or figure it out on your own—but nothing seems to actually fix it.
That’s not because you’re broken. It’s because the patterns driving it haven’t been fully understood or changed yet.
You’re not the only one this happens to—and it’s more fixable than you think.
Real people. Real change.

Therapy that fits your life
Therapy shouldn’t add more stress to your day. Virtual sessions make it easier to show up consistently, stay comfortable, and focus on what actually matters—making progress. Clients prefer virtual once they try it.
What we help with
You don’t need to fit into a category—you just need help with what you’re going through. Here are some of the most common things we help people work through:
Anxiety & Overthinking
You feel stuck in your own head—constantly thinking, worrying, or replaying things. It’s hard to relax, even when nothing is wrong.
Trauma & Emotional Triggers (EMDR Certified)
Past experiences still show up in the present—through anxiety, stress, or reactions that don’t fully make sense.
Feeling Down or Alone
You feel low, disconnected, or alone—even when you’re around others. It’s hard to feel motivated, and things that used to matter don’t feel the same anymore.
Feeling Disconnected or Numb
You’re going through the motions, but not really feeling much. Things that used to matter don’t feel the same anymore.
Repeating Patterns
You find yourself stuck in the same thoughts, reactions, or situations—even when you try to change them.
Relationships & Communication
You struggle to feel understood, heard, or connected—whether in relationships, family, or everyday interactions.
If one of these sounds like you, we can help you work through it.
What makes this different
Most people don’t need more advice—they need to understand what’s actually going on and how to change it. That’s what we focus on.
You understand what’s actually going on
We help you make sense of what you’re feeling and why it keeps happening—so you’re not stuck guessing or going in circles.
You learn tools you can actually use
Each session gives you something practical you can apply in your real life—so you’re not just thinking about change, you’re actually making it.
Things finally start to click
Instead of repeating the same patterns, you begin to see them clearly—and learn how to change them in a way that actually lasts.
Our approach is grounded in proven methods like CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care.

I had a great experience working with my therapist. She helped me work through a difficult period of grief. I would highly recommend her. She was very caring and asked me very thoughtful questions.

09/15/2023This review is for anyone struggling with life's challenges and feeling hesitant to share their feelings with a therapist. I was once in that position, but reaching out to Avid Counseling was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was deeply troubled, and my anxiety was overwhelming. Jason Wilcox immediately put me at ease, providing a safe and supportive environment to explore the source of my emotions. I've gained valuable self-awareness and practical tools to support my continued personal growth. I'm proud of myself for taking that step, and I hope this review encourages others seeking help. You're already on the right path.

04/20/2025I would highly recommend Avid Counseling if you are in search for a counselor. I worked with Thaen Saelee and she was absolutely amazing. As someone who was new to counseling and was very nervous Thaen made the sessions personable and enjoyable right from the start. I will forever be thankful for Thaen for all she has helped me through!

I worked with both Thaen and Jason at Avid Counseling. With Thaen, I was pursuing EMDR which was surprisingly easy through virtual counseling. She is incredibly thoughtful, clearly pays close attention her clients, and very easy to work with. I really appreciated Jason's motivational parenting approach and saw very fast results in how I engage with and ensure they have a supported and bonded relationship as they grow. Highly recommend working with either of these therapists.

09/15/2023It is very hard to a qualified and competent therapist thesedays, and even harder to find one that is a good fit. This process can take months to accomplish. But I was fortunate enough to call AVID Counseling and immediately got to speak with Dr. Saelee, and we were able to set up an intake appointment in a matter of weeks. I've worked with both Dr. Saelee, individually and Jason Wilcox, LCSW in couples counseling and both have been tremendously helpful. I would recommend both of them to anyone. They are wonderful, devoted, competent mental health care providers who use a patient-centered appoach and value transparancy.

It is no exaggeration when I say that Dr. Saelee saved my life. I have tried therapy a few times in the past and found that it didn’t work for me … I’d also been straight up rejected by a few therapists, not that I can blame them. At the time I was struggling with substance-abuse issues, dangerously volatile mood swings and a highly unstable sense of self, amongst other undiagnosed mental disorders. That is until I started seeing Thaen in November. She was willing to take a chance on me. She helped me get sober, and was patient with me as I struggled to achieve that. She gave me diagnoses that finally made sense of the difficulty that I’ve experienced my entire life just trying to navigate everyday interactions and challenges. And she gave me so many incredibly tools to help mitigate that difficulty. Dr. Thaen Saelee is the best thing that has happened to me and I am grateful every single day for everything that she has done for me. I am genuinely excited for anyone that has the pleasure of working with her.

09/15/2023Jason was very helpful in strengthening my marriage. He is personable and had lot of realistic feedback and suggestions on parenting. As a parent himself, Jason was understanding and relatable. I really appreciate his expertise and highly recommend him.

07/15/2024Dr. Saelee is terrific! Compassionate, knowledgeable, wise and helpful. She isn't one to sugar coat truth and that is exactly what I was looking for. Anyone would be in terrific hands under the care of Dr. Saelee. Oh and I did an emdr session via zoom and it was truly incredible...and worked!
