“Goodness of fit is important in all areas of life, especially in connecting with your therapist. If you are going through life always wondering if others are judging you as much as you are judging you, therapy can be a time to turn off that noise and focus on self-compassion. As a licensed psychologist who works with adults, I have specialties in eating disorders, body image concerns, self-esteem, and women’s mental health. Over the course of my experiences, I have also developed a particular interest in working with college and graduate students, as well as young professionals on adjustment issues, and IVF support. I also provide fertility consultations for recipients of egg, sperm, or embryo donations.”

“I helps adults with chronic pain and illness navigate the physical and emotional challenges of their conditions so they can reclaim their lives. You’ve been living with chronic pain or illness for months or years. You’ve been to countless appointments, gotten multiple opinions, and tried what seems like every treatment there is, and you’re still struggling. You feel exhausted, frustrated, and isolated. You feel trapped by pain and symptoms, and you just want your life back. You want a different way forward. Your symptoms are real, and you don't have to figure out how to heal alone. I provide specialized care for complex, poorly understood, and often "invisible" conditions, such as back pain, fibromyalgia, CRPS, migraines, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue, and many others. If you're looking for an experienced, compassionate psychologist and a different approach, we may be a good fit. I'll focus on helping you build a life that feels full and meaningful—not one defined by pain or illness.”

Rise Reimagined

LPCC

Licensed In:
Arizona, Minnesota
“I work with women navigating life after breast cancer treatment. Many survivors expect to feel relieved when treatment ends, only to find themselves struggling with anxiety, fear of recurrence, scanxiety, body image changes, physical symptoms, relationship shifts, and a lingering sense that life doesn't quite feel like theirs anymore. Treatment may be over, but the emotional impact often remains. You may feel stuck between who you were before cancer and who you are now, unsure how to move forward when everyone else seems to have moved on. As both a therapist and breast cancer survivor, I understand that recovery isn't just physical. My work focuses on helping women reconnect with themselves, rebuild trust in their bodies, navigate life transitions, and create a life that feels meaningful and authentic after cancer.”

Finding online care in Minnesota

Online therapy can be especially practical in Minnesota because the state combines a large seven-county Twin Cities metro with many communities spread across greater Minnesota. The right therapist for you may not be nearby, and virtual care can widen your options without adding drive time. It can also help when snow, ice, poor visibility, or long winter trips make getting to an office harder than expected. Minnesota law also requires private health plans sold, issued, or renewed in the state to cover telehealth-covered services in the same manner as in-person care, though network status, deductibles, and the type of service still matter. For many people, online care makes it easier to fit therapy around work shifts, parenting, school schedules, or follow-up medication visits. Use this page to compare fit, cost, and availability first, then use the resources below if you want to verify a license or find added support.

Online therapy in Minnesota: common questions

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

Start with what matters most to you: the issue you want help with, the age group you are seeking care for, your budget, insurance, language preferences, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. Then use the filters to narrow by specialty, therapy approach, availability, and session format. Because online care lets you look beyond the closest office, it often helps to compare a few profiles before booking. Once you have a shortlist, check each provider’s license, fees, scheduling options, and whether they seem like a good personal fit.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

Ask practical questions that help you decide whether the provider is a good fit. Helpful questions include whether they are licensed in Minnesota, whether they have experience with what you want help with, what sessions cost, whether they take your insurance, what their cancellation policy is, whether they offer evening or lunch-hour appointments, and how they handle technology issues or emergencies during a virtual visit. If you travel often, it is also a good idea to ask whether they can still see you when you are out of state.

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

Not necessarily. What usually matters most is where you are physically located during the appointment, not where your therapist lives. Minnesota’s telehealth law treats the patient’s location at the time of care as the key location, so a therapist who can see you while you are in Minnesota may not be able to see you if you are temporarily in another state for vacation, work, or school. Tell your provider before the session if you will be traveling. If you are often in more than one state, it may help to look for someone with multiple licenses or interstate practice authority. You can browse therapists licensed in multiple states. Some psychologists may also practice across state lines through the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact.

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

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 provider, your age group, and whether the service is a good fit for video, phone, or a hybrid approach.

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

Yes. If you want help with prescriptions, use the medication management filter to look for prescribers who offer psychiatric medication visits online. Medication management usually focuses on evaluation, prescriptions, side effects, refills, and follow-up, while therapy focuses more on emotions, coping, relationships, behavior patterns, and long-term change. Some people use one service, and some use both. If you need a controlled substance prescribed, check with the provider before booking because telehealth prescribing rules can involve extra requirements and may vary by medication and situation.

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

A good place to start is with county or tribal mental health services, United Way 211 Minnesota, National Alliance on Mental Illness Minnesota (NAMI Minnesota), FastTrackerMN, or the Minnesota Warmline. Those options can help you find crisis support, support groups, local services, and lower-cost care. You can also ask clinics whether they take Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare, offer reduced-fee spots, or can suggest community options. The official links are in the resources below.

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

The easiest way is to use Minnesota’s official licensing boards. For therapists, that usually means the Board of Social Work, the Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy for licensed professional counselors and licensed professional clinical counselors, the Board of Marriage and Family Therapy, or the Board of Psychology. For prescribers, use the Board of Nursing for psychiatric nurse practitioners and the Board of Medical Practice for psychiatrists and physician assistants. Directory profiles can help you compare fit, but the official board links below are the best place to confirm a license and review public information.

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

Often, yes. Minnesota law requires private health plans sold, issued, or renewed in the state to cover telehealth-covered services in the same manner as in-person care, and cost sharing for telehealth cannot be higher than it would be for the same service in person. MinnesotaCare and Minnesota Health Care Programs members can also receive many services through telehealth. In everyday use, though, payment still depends on whether the provider is in network, whether the service is covered, and whether you have met your deductible. Some providers are private pay only, and some can give you paperwork to request out-of-network reimbursement from your plan.

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. Depending on the provider, secure messaging may be used for follow-up or logistics. Many providers also have their own rules about where sessions can take place, so it is best to check ahead if privacy or location may be an issue.

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

Yes. Minnesota’s population is split between the Twin Cities area and many communities across greater Minnesota, so online care can help when the right match is not close by. It can also be especially useful during winter weather, when snow, ice, black ice, or whiteout conditions can make even a normal drive harder or less predictable. Online appointments can also be easier to fit around work, school pickup, college schedules, or time between other appointments.

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 and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 right away. Minnesota also has county crisis lines and mobile crisis services available statewide, and the official links are listed below.
