Kristin Padera

Padera Therapy & Wellness

LCPC, EMDR, PMH-C,

Licensed In:
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan
“I’m Kristin, a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and founder of Padera Therapy and Wellness. I believe therapy works best when it honors your full humanity: your quirks, your wisdom, your messiness, and everything in between. I specialize in working with late-diagnosed neurodivergent female-identified, trans, and non-binary folx. I love working with parents, caretakers, trauma survivors, and those deconstructing from religious or spiritual trauma. As a sex therapist in training, I also love helping female identified/trans/non-binary clients reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, and sexuality, especially after pain, trauma, or years of self-neglect. I work primarily with trauma survivors and neurodivergent women/female identified clients who are navigating depression, life transitions, burnout, perinatal mental health or identity shifts. I’m especially passionate about supporting parents, caretakers, perfectionists, and folks deconstructing from rigid or harmful belief systems.”

Finding online care in Michigan

Online therapy can be especially practical in Michigan because the state is spread across two peninsulas, with large metro areas, smaller communities, and long drives between many parts of the state. That matters when you want to choose a provider based on fit instead of just office location. If you live in northern Michigan or the Upper Peninsula, virtual care can widen your options. It can also make appointments easier to keep during seasons when lake-effect snow or other winter travel issues make driving harder. Even Mackinac Bridge travel can sometimes be affected by weather-related conditions, which makes online sessions useful as a backup or a primary format. Online care also makes it simpler to compare evening availability, session fees, insurance options, and whether a provider offers therapy, medication management, or support for a specific concern. As you browse, pay attention to the provider’s approach, schedule, payment options, and how easy it feels to imagine talking with them regularly. You can use the official resources below to verify licenses or find extra support.

Online therapy in Michigan: common questions

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

Start by thinking about what you want help with most right now, then use the filters to narrow your options. You might filter by specialty, therapy style, language, age group, insurance, or whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. After that, compare a few profiles side by side. Look for someone who works with your concerns, offers appointments at times you can actually attend, and explains their approach in a way that feels clear and comfortable. A good fit is not just about credentials. It is also about whether you feel understood, whether the logistics work for you, and whether you can picture showing up consistently.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Helpful questions include: What concerns do you most often help with? Do you work with people in my situation? What does online therapy with you usually look like? What are your fees, insurance options, and cancellation policy? How soon can I get an appointment? What happens if I am traveling outside Michigan when a session is scheduled? If I may need medication, testing, or other services, can you help with referrals? A short consultation can tell you a lot about whether the fit feels right.

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

No. Your therapist does not have to live in Michigan. What usually matters more is where you are physically located during the session. Michigan telemedicine guidance says the professional must be licensed, registered, or otherwise authorized in the state where the patient is located, and federal telehealth guidance also tells providers to verify patient location before the visit. So if you travel outside Michigan, even for vacation, work, or school, your therapist may not be able to keep seeing you unless they are also allowed to practice in that state. If you regularly split time between states, start with our find a therapist licensed in multiple states page and ask about travel before you book.

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

Depending on the provider, you may be able to find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. The easiest way to narrow your options is to filter by service type, age group, specialty, and insurance, then read profiles closely to see how each provider works online.

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

Yes. If you want help with psychiatric medication, use the medication management filter. Medication management is different from therapy: it focuses more on assessment, prescribing when appropriate, monitoring side effects, and adjusting medication, while therapy focuses more on emotions, coping skills, behavior patterns, and relationships. Some people want one provider for therapy and a different provider for medication. Others want a practice that can coordinate both. If you need controlled substances prescribed, check with the provider before booking about whether they can do that through telehealth, because there may be additional federal restrictions and clinical requirements for those prescriptions.

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

A strong place to start is your local Community Mental Health Services Program. Michigan describes these programs as the entry point into the public mental health system, including crisis response and mental health services connected to Medicaid, MIChild, and the Adult Benefit Waiver. If you are not sure where to begin, you can also call or text the Michigan Crisis and Access Line at 988, use Michigan 211 to find nearby services, or look at National Alliance on Mental Illness Michigan for education and support. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Use the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs public license search to check whether a license is active and in good standing. If you want profession-specific information, the official board pages in the resources below can help for social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychology, medicine, and nursing. For psychiatrists, physician assistants, and psychiatric nurse practitioners, the statewide license search is usually the fastest place to start. The official links are in the resources below.

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

Often, yes, but it depends on your plan. In Michigan, telemedicine services are generally subject to the terms of your health plan, which means coverage, copays, deductibles, and network rules can vary from one plan to another. Michigan Medicaid and the Healthy Michigan Plan cover telemedicine in many situations, but the exact service still has to fit program rules. Before you book, ask whether the provider takes your plan, what your expected out-of-pocket cost may be, and whether the practice can help you confirm benefits ahead of time.

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. Michigan telemedicine rules also emphasize that patients should be in a safe and private environment for the visit.

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

Yes. Michigan’s geography can make online care especially useful. The state spans two peninsulas, and people in northern Michigan or the Upper Peninsula may have fewer nearby in-person options or longer drives to appointments. Winter can add another layer: lake-effect snow is common around the Great Lakes, and Mackinac Bridge travel can sometimes be affected by weather or falling ice. Even in larger metro areas, virtual sessions can simply be easier to fit around commuting, school pickup, or work shifts. If you want fewer missed appointments and more flexibility, online therapy can be a very practical choice in Michigan.

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 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline right away.
