HiveSourced Counselor Website Design
Whether your license says LPC, LMHC, LPCC or LCPC, your website has one job: help the right client feel understood and reach out. HiveSourced designs custom WordPress websites for counselors, written around the people you want to help.
Counseling is a trust-first service. People often visit a few sites before they write to anyone, so your site has to answer their questions quickly.
Clients rarely know what an LPC or LMHC is. Your site should say plainly who you help and what working with you is like.
Individuals, couples, teens and families search for different things. Separate pages for each let every visitor see themselves on the page.
A directory listing is shared space. Your own website is where you control the message and where clients can book on your terms.
Generic wording and stock layouts blur the one thing that sets you apart, which is how you work. Custom design and copy put that first.
Every counselor website gets the same full core service, whether you are a solo counselor or a growing practice.
Figma design before any code
We show three homepage directions first, then design each page in Figma. You get unlimited revisions in the design phase, before any code is written.
Copywriting in your voice
Your copy comes from a structured intake about the clients you want and the words they use when they look for help.
On-page SEO and schema
Meta titles, headings, schema markup and Google Search Console are in place at launch.
Built for phones first
We design at phone size first and scale up, so the site works where most visitors find you.
HIPAA-compliant contact form
Your inquiry form sends messages through encrypted channels, and we help you connect a HIPAA-compliant email system for replies.
Training video and Slack updates
You get a recorded walkthrough to edit the site yourself, plus a dedicated Slack channel with updates every Tuesday and Friday.
Counseling practices differ, so we scope these pieces with you before design begins.
We build the first screen around your specialty, your approach and one clear next step. Three style options come first, so you choose a direction before we design anything else.
Clinical terms keep clients at a distance. We write about what people are going through, in words they use. Our guide on therapy website copy shows the approach.
Counselors often see couples, teens and individuals. Our list of the 10 pages every therapist website needs is the starting point, and we add a page per specialty.
Every build includes a HIPAA-compliant contact form. We help you connect a HIPAA-compliant email system, and your practice remains responsible for how it stores client information. See our guide to HIPAA-compliant email and forms.
Basic on-page SEO is part of every build, and our SEO for therapists service can continue the work each month.
Many counselors add clinicians over time. We build so you can add team pages later. If you already have a team, see our group practice websites.
We learn about your clients, your approach and your goals, then agree what the site needs.
About 1 to 2 weeks. You choose a homepage direction before we design anything else.
About 1 to 3 weeks, with unlimited revisions until every page feels right to you.
About 1 week. WordPress build, schema, analytics and Search Console, then a training video for you.
Most projects launch in 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff. We work fully remotely, so you can be anywhere in the US. Not sure what fits your budget? See our pricing.

Do you design websites for LPCs and LMHCs?
Yes. We work with counselors and therapists of every license type, including LPC, LMHC, LPCC and LCPC. The design and copy are built around the clients you serve, not the letters after your name.
Do counselors need a custom website or will a template do?
A template can work to get online quickly, but it will not say what makes your practice different. We build every site custom in Figma and write the copy for your niche. See the comparison in our WordPress vs Squarespace guide.
How much does a counselor website cost?
Custom websites start at $2,000, and the final price depends on your pages. See our pricing page or the breakdown of therapist website costs.
Can you build a site for a group counseling practice?
Yes. We build team pages and specialty pages for group practices. Read about our group practice websites.
How long does it take?
Most sites launch 3 to 6 weeks after kickoff: about 1 to 2 weeks for homepage style options, 1 to 3 weeks for full design, and about 1 week for build and launch.
Is the contact form HIPAA compliant?
Every build includes a HIPAA-compliant contact form that sends inquiries through encrypted channels. Your practice stays responsible for how it stores and handles client information. See our guide to HIPAA-compliant email and forms.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. You get a training video, and our $200 per month ongoing design service covers unlimited content updates if you would rather hand them off.
