Counseling for Tupelo and Lee County

Tupelo is the hub of Northeast Mississippi. It's a busy, growing city with major employers, a regional medical center, and plenty of families who work long hours. It's also about 50 miles from our Oxford office, usually about an hour west on Highway 6 through Pontotoc. For many Tupelo clients, that makes online counseling the most practical way to get specialized help without giving up half a day.

Covenant Counseling offers secure video sessions anywhere in Mississippi. When meeting in person matters, like for some couples work or a men's recovery group, our office is at 2692 W Oxford Loop, Suite 108, in Oxford, in the first building behind Home Goods.

College students in Tupelo

Tupelo has Itawamba Community College's Tupelo campus and Ole Miss–Tupelo, so many students here juggle classes, jobs, and family. If you're a student struggling with pornography, relationships, or the pressure of it all, online sessions can fit around your schedule. Bruce is also a PhD candidate in Counselor Education at the University of Mississippi, and he works with college students regularly and without judgment.

How online counseling works

Online sessions use a secure video platform. You join from a private spot, like your home or a closed office, anywhere in Mississippi. The care is the same as in the office: the same counselor and the same approach, without the drive. Learn more about online counseling.
