“I work with adults, teens, couples, and helping professionals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, life transitions, and the pressure of holding everything together. Many of my clients are overthinkers, people pleasers, high achievers, cycle-breakers, or the “strong one” in their family who’s exhausted from carrying everyone else emotionally. You may look successful on the outside while privately struggling with self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, boundaries, communication, trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I also work with clients navigating identity exploration, attachment wounds, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and difficult relationship dynamics. If you’re self-aware but still stuck in the same patterns, craving healthier relationships, or simply tired of surviving instead of living, you’re in the right place.”

“Do thoughts about food, your body, or your worth consume you, leaving you exhausted and uncertain about what comes next? Are you just trying to stay afloat while everyone else seems to have it figured out? Are your emotions so intense that it feels like you might burst from the pain, and you feel desperate for a way out, or do you work hard to keep them locked up tightly? Do you hold on to old experiences or painful memories that make you feel stuck, even when you want to move forward? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. With expert support, you can recover from eating disorders, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and trauma.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I am a trauma and attachment therapist who considers the multi layers of the individual as well as systems and conditioning that have influenced them. I work well with clients motivated to change core patterns and belief systems driving life focus and function, and desire deeper understanding and healing. I work well with adolescents and their parents/families. I understand the developmental-relational needs of adolescents and can also provide support for parents who are getting triggered and reactive with their teen. I use a hopeful perspective in helping parents explore how their child is activating what still needs healing within them I also enjoy working with women in mid life and later who are experiencing significant life transitions, losses, and new beginnings. Clients interested in psychedelic preparation/ integration, and want support with what has emerged in their psyche Overall- I work well with clients who want to find more wholeness within themselves and integrate their traumas, pain, and grief into deeper meaning and transformation ​”

Finding online care in Montana

In Montana, the nearest provider is not always the best fit, and in some areas it may not even be a realistic weekly option. Online therapy gives you more room to choose based on experience, style, and scheduling instead of driving distance alone. It can also make staying consistent easier when winter weather affects high-elevation roads or when summer wildfire conditions create visibility problems, detours, or changing travel conditions. When you compare online providers, it helps to look at the practical details too: whether they have appointments that match your work or family schedule, whether they offer phone or video visits, whether they take your insurance, and whether self-pay or sliding-scale options are available. If you want to double-check a license or find public, crisis, or community support, use the official resources below.

Online therapy in Montana: common questions

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

Start with the filters that matter most to you. You might begin with the main issue you want help with, then narrow by age group, language, therapy approach, insurance, and whether you want talk therapy, medication management, or both. After that, read a few profiles closely. Look for clues about how the therapist works, what kinds of clients they often help, whether appointments fit your schedule, and how payment works. Because this is online therapy, you can compare providers across Montana and focus more on fit, comfort, and availability rather than choosing only from your immediate area.

What should I ask before booking with a therapist?

A few simple questions can save time. Ask whether they are licensed to work with clients in Montana, whether they have experience with the concerns you want help with, what session frequency they usually recommend, and whether they offer video, phone, or both. It also helps to ask about cost, insurance, superbills, cancellation policies, wait times, and what communication looks like between sessions. If you travel often, ask whether they can still meet with you when you are away from home.

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

Not necessarily. In practice, the key issue is usually licensure, not where the therapist lives. Montana guidance says telehealth is treated as happening where the client is physically located, and providers serving clients in Montana generally need Montana licensure. That also means if you travel out of state, your therapist may not be able to keep seeing you unless they are also authorized where you are during the session. If you regularly split time between states, start with this page to find a therapist licensed in multiple states.

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

You can use this directory to look for individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and some testing and evaluations. Availability depends on the provider and the kind of service you need, and some evaluations may be partly online and partly in person.

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

Yes. If you want help with prescriptions, refills, medication follow-ups, or a psychiatric evaluation, use the medication management filters. Medication management is different from therapy: it is usually focused on symptoms, diagnosis, prescriptions, side effects, and monitoring how medication is working. Therapy is more focused on emotions, coping, relationships, behavior patterns, and day-to-day support. Some people use one, and many use both. If you need a controlled medication, ask the provider before booking whether they prescribe it through telehealth and whether any extra steps apply, because controlled-substance prescribing can involve additional regulations.

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

A good first stop is Montana 211 if you want help finding local services. If you want public or community-based care, the state’s Adult Mental Health Centers directory is especially useful and even includes a telehealth-capacity column. For children and families, the Children’s Mental Health Bureau is an important starting point. National Alliance on Mental Illness Montana can help with support and education, and the Montana Mental Health Ombudsman can help people trying to access public mental health services. If you are in crisis, use Montana 988 rather than 211. The official links for all of these are in the resources below.

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

Use the official Montana Department of Labor and Industry lookup resources. For social workers, professional counselors, and marriage and family therapists, check the Montana Board of Behavioral Health. For psychologists, use the Montana Board of Psychologists. For advanced practice registered nurses, including psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, use the Montana Board of Nursing. For physicians, psychiatrists, and physician assistants, use the Montana Board of Medical Examiners. The official links are listed in the resources below.

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

Often, yes, but coverage depends on your plan and the provider. Montana Medicaid says covered telehealth services are reimbursable when they are medically necessary and clinically appropriate, including telephone and live video visits. For private insurance, it is a good idea to check whether the provider is in network, what your copay or deductible will be, whether out-of-network reimbursement is possible, and whether the provider offers self-pay or sliding-scale rates. Asking those questions before the first session can help you avoid surprises.

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 follow-up may also be part of telehealth communication. Montana Medicaid says covered telehealth can include telephone, secure messaging, and audio-visual conversations, and providers are expected to protect confidentiality and security. 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.

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

Yes. Montana is spread out, and the state says 51 of its 56 counties are non-metropolitan. The Montana Department of Transportation also warns that some high-elevation roads close seasonally because of heavy mountain snowfall, and wildfire conditions can affect visibility, detours, and road access. That makes online therapy especially practical when the nearest specialist is far away, when weather changes quickly, or when you want to keep a regular therapy schedule without building travel time into every appointment.

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. Montana’s dedicated statewide crisis line is also 988.
