UNC-Chapel Hill provides students brief therapy thru CAPS as well as AcademicLiveCare.
Both CAPS and AcademicLiveCare therapists can offer a student their first interaction with a therapist within a day and provide brief therapy at no cost to the student. AcademicLiveCare operates as solely as a brief teletherapy (online) provider.
Those students seeking connection with AcademicLiveCare should email [email protected] with their name and PID, asking to connect to the service. CAPS will reply with the necessary information to create an online account.
The student can then input their preferences for a therapist including clinical need, gender, ethnicity, language, and availability. AcademicLiveCare connects the student with a therapist who meets those desires as best as possible and is either located in North Carolina or licensed to practice in the state.
