Etherapies.ca was created by Dr. France Talbot in 2013. Etherapies.ca is now the website of the Telepsychotherapy Unit created in 2016 and located at the Université de Moncton School of Psychology.

Stress, anxiety and depression are common mental health problems. However, relatively few people use or have access to traditional face-to-face psychological services. Several barriers can be encountered, such as stigmatization or lack of services. Internet therapy is one option that can help overcome these barriers and facilitate access to psychological treatment. Many Internet therapies have been shown to be effective.

The Internet psychotherapies offered and evaluated at etherapies do not require travel or an appointment with a mental health professional. They are short, from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the program. They can take different forms, such as writing therapy, or can be similar to an online course with lessons and homework. E-mails are the main mode of communication.
