“I test/diagnose patients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide accurate cognitive profiles, diagnoses and treatment recommendations. I also provide therapy to those with neurodivergence who want to learn executive functioning and social skills while also learning how their neurodivergence may impact their mood and daily functioning. I adapt evidence-based protocols (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, MI) to become neurodivergent friendly and spend much time incorporating family members and also treating family members of a neurodivergent person to provide psychoeducation and guidance and help patients reduce masking and camouflaging. I also LOVE to work with patients going through the transition from high school to college. Developmentally this period of time is so vulnerable and I ensure patients have mood support, ADHD accommodations/skills, and coping skills for adjustment.”

“Many of the people I work with are capable adults who look like they have everything together but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted behind the scenes. They often know what they "should" be doing, but still find themselves stuck in the same patterns. I also work with teens, college students, and parents navigating anxiety, perfectionism, stress, and life's many transitions. My style is warm, direct, and practical. Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. I'll ask questions, notice patterns, and offer honest feedback while helping you develop tools that fit your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you start. Most people don't. We'll work together to understand what's getting in your way and help you move toward lasting, meaningful change.”

“Do you struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling like your mind constantly spirals to the worst-case scenario? I specialize in helping women with anxiety and trauma break free from constant overthinking, negative self-talk, and the pressure to chase the next achievement. I often work with women who appear “fine” on the outside but, behind closed doors, wrestle with worries about what could go wrong and a persistent feeling that they’re never doing enough. I support women in transforming unhelpful thought patterns, reducing anxiety, and learning how to quiet the mental spiral so they can start truly living. My goal is to help you create a life that feels aligned, grounded, and authentic not one driven by fear and anxiety.”

“Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin are common experiences for the folks I work with. Many of my clients struggle with burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, insomnia, relationship stress, or the sense that they're not quite "doing enough." Sometimes big transitions, like early parenthood, career shifts, or divorce are contributing to this, and sometimes it's just due to patterns folks have learned that were once helpful for surviving day to day, but aren't serving them anymore. The clients I work with often want to find relief from anxiety, depression, or OCD, but also improve their sense of balance in their lives, working toward creating sustainable change.”

Finding online care in Arkansas

If you live in Arkansas, online therapy can widen your options beyond whoever happens to practice nearest you. That matters in a state where almost 45% of residents live in rural areas, and many people may want to compare providers statewide instead of making repeated drives for specialty care. It can be especially helpful if you want a therapist who works with trauma, relationships, child or teen concerns, faith-related issues, or a specific therapy style. Telehealth can also make scheduling easier around shift work, school pickup, caregiving, or long drives between smaller towns and larger hubs like Little Rock, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, and Northwest Arkansas. Arkansas also regularly deals with severe thunderstorms, flooding, tornadoes, and severe winter weather, so virtual appointments can make it easier to keep care consistent. As you compare providers, look at Arkansas licensure, availability, insurance or self-pay rates, and whether the clinician offers therapy, medication management, or both. You can use the resources below to verify licenses or find additional support if needed.

Online therapy in Arkansas: common questions

How do I use this page to find the right fit for online therapy in Arkansas?

Use filters for the concern you want help with, the age group, the kind of therapy you want, language, insurance, and whether you’re looking for talk therapy or medication management. Then read profiles for issues treated, session format, availability, and fees. Because this page focuses on Arkansas-licensed providers who offer online care, you can search statewide and choose based on fit instead of just drive time. If two providers seem similar, ask about their style, schedule, and what a first session usually looks like.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Before you book, ask whether the provider is taking new Arkansas telehealth clients, what concerns they work with most often, whether they accept your insurance, and what self-pay costs look like. It also helps to ask about appointment times, cancellation policy, video platform, between-session messaging, and whether they can still see you if you travel. If you want medication management, ask what those visits cover, how follow-up works, and whether they prescribe for your specific concern.

Does my online therapist have to live in Arkansas, and what happens if I travel out of state?

Not necessarily. What matters more is whether the provider is allowed to treat you where you are physically located during the session. Arkansas telehealth rules are tied to the patient’s location, and many providers treating someone located in Arkansas must hold Arkansas licensure or authorization. If you travel out of state, the rules may change based on that state, so tell your provider before the appointment rather than assuming your session can go ahead as usual. If you split time between states or travel often, start with find a therapist licensed in multiple states.

What types of mental health services are available online through telehealth in Arkansas?

On this directory, you may find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. Availability depends on the clinician’s license, training, and practice. In Arkansas, counselors, marriage and family therapists, and social workers can provide telemedicine within their scope, and the rules say telehealth care must meet the same standards as in-person care. One practical note for families: Arkansas rules limit telemedicine group therapy for children under 18 in counseling and social work settings, so it is worth asking whether a service is offered by video, in person, or in a hybrid format.

Can I find medication management providers here, and how is medication management different from online therapy?

Yes. You can use the directory filters to look for medication management providers as well as therapists. Online therapy usually focuses on talk therapy, coping skills, behavior change, and emotional support. Medication management is with a prescriber and is usually centered on diagnosis, medication options, side effects, refills, and follow-up. In Arkansas, those prescribers are often psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, or physician assistants. Some clinicians do both, but many do one or the other. If you need a controlled substance prescribed, ask the provider before you book whether they can prescribe it through telehealth and what extra steps may apply, because Arkansas and federal rules can place added limits on controlled medications prescribed remotely.

Where can I start if I need lower cost or public mental health support in Arkansas?

A practical place to start is the Arkansas Department of Human Services treatment locator and Mental Health & Addiction Support Line listed in the resources below. Arkansas also lists crisis stabilization units and mobile crisis services, and the Arkansas Lifeline Call Center is part of 988. For free peer and family support, the National Alliance on Mental Illness Arkansas is also available. If you have Medicaid, ask whether the provider is enrolled and whether your telehealth service is billable. If you do not have insurance, ask about self-pay rates, reduced-fee openings, or referrals to community clinics. Official links for these resources are in the section below.

How do I verify a therapist or prescriber’s Arkansas license?

Use the official lookup that matches the provider type. For counselors and marriage and family therapists, use the Arkansas Counselor and Marriage-Family Therapist Licensee Search. For social workers, use the Social Worker Licensee Directory Search. For psychologists, use the Arkansas Psychology Board’s license search. For psychiatrists and physician assistants, use the Arkansas State Medical Board. For psychiatric nurse practitioners, use the Arkansas State Board of Nursing verification portal or registry search.

Does insurance cover online therapy in Arkansas, and how does payment usually work?

Often yes, but it depends on your plan. Many Arkansas health plans cover telehealth similarly to in-person care, but your deductible, copay, coinsurance, and network status still matter. In everyday use, the biggest questions are whether the therapist is in network, whether your deductible applies, whether the clinician can bill your plan, and what your copay or coinsurance will be. If you plan to self-pay, ask for the full fee, whether there are reduced-fee spots, and whether the provider can give you a superbill for out-of-network claims.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

For most online therapy appointments, it is best to meet from a secure location with privacy and a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is usually ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Most sessions happen by video, but depending on the provider and service, phone calls, texting, secure messaging, or email may also be part of telehealth or follow-up communication. Many providers also have their own policies about where sessions can take place, so it is best to check ahead of time if privacy or location may be an issue. In Arkansas, telehealth rules also expect providers to be clear in advance about licensure, financial responsibilities, and emergency referral planning.

Are there scheduling, regional, travel, or weather issues in Arkansas that can make online therapy especially practical?

Yes. Online therapy can be especially useful in Arkansas if you live outside the larger population hubs, work irregular hours, or do not want to drive across counties every week. The University of Arkansas Extension’s 2025 Rural Profile says almost 45% of Arkansans live in rural areas, and Arkansas emergency management lists flooding, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and severe winter weather among the state’s hazards. When roads, weather, school pickup, caregiving, or commute time make in-person care harder, telehealth can make it easier to keep therapy consistent.

When is online therapy not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate crisis, need emergency support, require a higher level of care, or do not have a private space or secure internet connection for sessions. In those situations, in-person services or local crisis resources may be more appropriate. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 right away.
