Counseling
UC’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides comprehensive support for online distance learners through confidential tele-mental health services. Students have access to individual counseling, consultations, and crisis support, all delivered through secure video or phone, making it easy to connect with care from any location.
To get started, students can schedule an initial appointment by calling CAPS during business hours at 513-556-0648 or by using UC’s online health portal. During this first appointment, CAPS staff help assess individual needs and offer guidance on next steps, which may include ongoing virtual counseling or referrals to mental health resources within a student’s local community.
In addition to direct services, CAPS also offers online workshops, outreach programming, and self-help tools that students can access at their convenience. These resources are designed to help distance learners stay connected, build coping skills, and effectively manage stress and personal challenges while learning remotely.
For students residing outside of Ohio, UC also provides access to TimelyCare, a 24/7 virtual mental health platform. TimelyCare offers on-demand emotional support, scheduled counseling visits, and a variety of self-care resources, ensuring that students can receive support whenever and wherever they need it.
